Boy that is a beauty. If it were yours would you replace the firewall pad or keep original ?
It's a LHD car. I wonder where the original owner lived?

Very, very nice!
The advert indicates one owner with home in Milwaukee. Why is it for sale by a dealer in the UK with British number plates?

"This is undoubtedly the most original Pagoda available today, and therefore commands a substantial asking price."
.. and the original tool roll ...
Nice car but how original is it really?
1.Injection lines look newly plated
2. Tool roll?? with string and not snaps?? :o

These skis are way older than the car. I have a pair of wooden skis, the brand is Attenhofer and I bought them new about 1950. I still use them. They are great downhill skis, the are very stable at high speeds, no flutter at all unlike my newer metal skis. I also have "Trima" skins for them. They are suitable for walking uphill and I do that to warm up. Attached is a recent picture of me on those skis. And yes, several times I have been asked if I wanted to sell them but I can't because the Trima fasteners cannot be removed and are no longer available for installation in more modern skis. The binding is also suitable for hiking and downhill because I can set it up to lift the heel or to strap it down. The strapping down is important for skiing moguls because I can put my weight on the tips for quicker turns.

Nice pictures. Hope your enjoying this year's skiing season.
