Title: House & Car for sale?
Post by: CharlieSierra on April 21, 2014, 06:41:05

Hi All,

The wife spotted this house for sale. Judging by the prominent position of the pagoda in the photo's, are the estate agents using using 'lifestyle' selling tactics to sell this house?

The car looks like its a 1967, so probably a early 250SL or late 230SL. As its only a few miles from where I live, I may go around and have a snoop, in my pagoda of course!

Here's the link if anyones interested.

Charles,

Both period properties look very interesting.

Sharp "Pagoda sensitive" eye that your wife has: congratulations :)

My version, obviously a made up one, is that this is the real estate agents's car, who just bought it and couldn't resist the opportunity to have it exhibited, accessorily enhancing the house...

I'd be mildly insulted if someone called my Pagoda an "estate agent's car"

No. It reminded me of a colleague who was going to buy a Miata/MX5 when someone pointed out to him that they were "a hairdressers car". He promptly changed his mind and bought a Volvo.

Some professions seem to have a stereotypical image problem that extends to the car too.

The vintage Le Mans poster in the kitchen would suggest more than a passing interest in cars...
