Sorry, but the rules for posting to the Groups “For Sale” area, requires that you price the items. Please read the sticky at the start of the section.


Failure to do so will result in your advertisement being removed.

I suppose you have the ownership situation worked out?

I also suppose the vehicle's condition has changed in the twelve years since those photos were taken...

Since twelve years the car is at home and is no longer outside the weather stopped its agression.
The papers are in progress.
Perforating rust is omnipresent.
The engine doesn’t fire but can turn.
The car is complete.
Worth organ donnor or big project car.

I learned something today, which is that there is a French territory where this car is located. I would almost say, if someone would pay me to go there and do the complete restoration so that the car can be preserved and stay in this unique location, it would be one of those 'lifetime experiences'. Plus, someone should either help this Pagoda out of its misery Or restore it to its former glory, AND I am sure fblanchard could use some help with this situation as well!
Bon chance, hopefully this time we will see a conclusion happen one way or another. I am sure you are tired of looking at the 'voiture' as well ...
It reminds me of the days we produced the 40th anniversary poster, and we found there were Pagodas in Kenya and Ethiopia at that time, in unexpected condition and place.

On the principle the ad is interesting but we know almost nothing about the car except the price...
It's a bit short to go foward, provided the location requires some money to travel the car somewhere it could cared of
