Warm welcome to the Forum.

Your new beauty looks smashing. I like that red tone.

I am sure you will enjoy both driving your Pagoda and sharing with us your impression and photos

It does look like a "nice" one though....

Post by: Raymond on June 12, 2015, 20:48:06: Welcome to the club! We'll look forward to hearing how you enjoy the Pagoda over the summer. There are a lot of fellow W113 owners in England perhaps you can find a B-road or two to go meet them.

Summer is a little late this year. Unfortunately we do not get as much sun as you guys in Florida. I had a home in Sarasota for 20 years.and miss that wonderfull winter sun that you guys have. Don't miss your summer thunderstorms.

Post by: Liquid silver on July 27, 2015, 18:23:52: Quick update on my 230SL. Whent in for the FI to be sorted and new rear brake linings fitted. Hopefully will be completed by the end of this week.
Managed to get a new Vin plate as she didn't have one when I bought her. Hopefully I will have the MOT completed by end of this week, I can then get all the paperwork off to the DVLA and get her road legal.
Does anyone know where I can obtain a template ( if there is such a thing) for masking the wheel trims, or is it just a matter of carefully masking out.?
