No!! I would get "shot" by her in doors if I had yet another dead car at the house [:p]
**** Update 29 June ****
A few more Pagodas have "Popped" up on Ebay UK in the last day or two
Under Automotive > Classic cars > Mercedes
Any comments on prices compared to other parts of the world????

So either the insurance company paid out for the car being a write-off
Or they took the insurance money and managed not to spend it on nthe car that they are now selling
Or...? :oops:

It doesn't look like that extra piece of protective chrome strip did to much to help keep the door dings off.

Been thinking about getting a real beat-up Pagoda to convert to a rally-car. This might be it, although I am concerned that the reserve price is too high, considering the damage there.

Cees,
I had thought of the same thing
One "plot" would be to sell off the interior etc to re coupe (pun intended) some of the money, but unless I inherit a very large wedge of cash in the next few days it will remain a dream

Another way to look at it would be that a lot of Pagodas would require new panels anyway due to rust issues and this seems to be outer panel work.
If it could be bought at a reasonable price and then restored it could turn out okay comercially !

So, whats a reasonable price for the car on this side of the pond?
Is this just a fender-bender or would the be structural damage at the windscreen pillar and sill?
Is this one a better buy?

I thought of the same thing also - selling off the better parts pieces (like chrome etc not needed) to generate some cash for the necessary repairs. Still I think it's too much. I will start checking around in The Netherlands for candidates.
