Title: Can I call it " Pagodino"?
Post by: seixever on May 25, 2007, 04:17:17

Hi all,
I'd hope not to be off topic with the photo of my beloved 300Sl: she's the Pagoda daughter!

Nice car, especially with the euro bumpers and the later-style wheels (as far as I know).

Yes, I think this is the better version of the 107 family with Abs, 15" alloy wheels, and front spoiler.
For the 113 family, the real Pagoda, I prefer the early type 2300 (not because I've one of this...) for the more classic hub caps and its pleasure of driving with the mechanic gearbox.
It's more light and simply, the engine has less electrical components than the 280 and so results more affordable than the later.
Usually, they have not air conditioned (so it can't break...) and sometimes power steering too:
you can't have everything!
