Didn’t we have a long thread about that photo likely being of a member’s car?

What a great forum ! Amazing knowledge and data of these very special cars, with people happy to share what they know for the benefit of other members

Once again, I am super happy that I found this forum. I only wish I had found it before I bought my first Pagoda, however I was lucky and found a good one.

Far better than me on the search functionality James. Seems there were some questions by others as to whether it was their car or not, but we can all dream 😁

Dear All, sorry, I really prefer (even want to or demand to be able to) to believe the red car from the picture is Joe's car.

If you think about it this way... It is a quite famous picture. How do you feel about being able to say: "See this red car here? It was traced down and confirmed it is one that now belongs to a fellow Member of this group!" I see nothing but benefits there and the topic was thoroughly documented.

 ;) ;)
