Title: Found another Pagoda
Post by: Manfred Wicht on May 10, 2014, 17:08:47

I found my first Pagoda (1965 230SL Automatic) in my hometown of Brandon,MB (45.000 people) three years ago.  Now just last week I found another one that has been sitting around for 28 years.  It is a 1967 250SL Manual.  Who says you can't have any luck

Nice find Manfred!

I have my hands full with one :) having two would be like having a wife and mistress on the side, something some of my friends did ....

Drop by for a coffee if you ever down our way ... Happy Pagoda driving

Indeed very lucky ... Especially in this hot-pagoda market.

I do agree with Rolf-Dieter, you might feel like you're cheating on number one. 

Enjoy the affair ...

Hallo Manfred,

Congratulations on your new purchase - well done! ;)
Two Pagodas? Why not? :D
Enjoy the new car...

.... although, if I may say so....,

please keep the wonderful original interior of your new 250 SL as untouched as as possible (including carpet if possible).

There are already too many "redone" Pagodas around ....

IMHO

Hallo Achim
It looks like the carpet was already replaced once, and also is in bad shape, I will try and keep everything original if if can but after 47 years even the best stuff needs to be replaced.
