Title: Not a Pagoda but fun to drive!
Post by: German Dude on June 21, 2005, 10:28:20
Not a pagoda pic, but also a nice Mercedes: A 1960 220 SE Convertible as driven by myself and my lady last weekend at a classic car rallye in Germany. Handles like a cargo version of a Pagoda... I hope the link works.

Very nice indeed, quite a range of vehicles and it looked like it was a super day. What color is the 220? It looks great.

I also liked the 55 Chevy with the drive in tray, coke and fries!

Hi Juergen,
I only found one picture of your beautiful car, could you post some more of it, and if possible from the engine compartment as well?

Folks,
time to confess: This is not my car, but my boss's. She didn't have the time to participate so she asked me...

@ Jonny B: I couldn't tell you what color that is. Personally, it took me a while to get used to it. The soft top is chocolate brown - looks even better with the top up! The Chevy had a turbocharger in it - the rallye book stated 450 horsepower but the owner told me he had been modest when he wrote it...

@ knirk: Due to the above fact, I don't have any more pics. I might be able to post some my girl friend took later, but the engine compartment is definitely out. I popped the hood once - it doesn't really open up far so you wouldn't be able to see anything anyway. Sorry.
