Post by: kns on September 27, 2003, 00:11:19: Ah, Tom, terrific! You've managed to source a photo of the rare 'Janus' pagoda manufactured for the eccentric Greek billionaire Ican C Enniwairiwanna......... Tragically, he was killed in this very car in a front-on rear-ender.
Cheers,
kns.

Post by: n/a on September 27, 2003, 15:23:04: It is a hybrid tentative remake of the Citroen 2CV Sahara with 2 engines, one in the front and one in the rear........hehehe!!!
Unfortunately, the "right" part of the image has the antenna on the wrong side....all antennas were mounted on the right front fender, no matter if right or left hand side driving wheel......among other things!!!

Post by: Albert-230SL on September 27, 2003, 17:23:04: Interesting car!
It's a 2 x 280 engine = 560 SL Pagoda! 340 HP!! But for me, the really wrong thing is that it has no transmission! The Pagoda -fortunately- is not a front wheel drive car, so how is this 560 SL W113 turning its wheels? :mrgreen:

Post by: Douglas on September 27, 2003, 21:08:09: This is the "Push Me - Pull Me Pagoda" that I read about some years back. A warning about this model: From what I understand, many low-mileage examples for sale are merely the product of drivers who turn back the odometer by driving in the other direction. Buy with caution.

Post by: n/a on October 31, 2003, 14:43:11: I feel sorry for the owner of this car. Twice the wood to refinish, twice as many heater levers to break. I wonder if this needs to be called a Targa instead of a roadster? Hmmm.

Post by: Ben on December 11, 2003, 11:21:43: I think the worst aspect of this photo is that two of the best aspects of the car are lost !
1. The pagoda roof is no longer like a Pagoda !
2. How can you enjoy the wonderful fruity exhaust tailpipe noise ?? :mrgreen:
