Very nice Ger, thanks for posting. Pictures are always welcome. What colour is the body, 050 white or 717 white?

gerster · « **Reply #3 on:** April 25, 2012, 19:34:52 »

It's 050 Jordan.

Hello Jordan,
Nice car and I love the color combination (I have the same combination but with Cognac interior). Enjoy your "new" Pagode

John

Thanks John, yours look greats too. I bought the car last week here in the Netherlands but it is coming original from North Carolina and made 72.600 miles.
The softtop and carpets are new and the car has had a repaint on the outside, under the bonnet is everything original, also the paint and the firewal pad.
They changed the USA headlights into Euro's and removed the side deflectors
I will get the car in about two weeks, it has to be checked for the new dutch plates.
I'm looking forward to get it.

By the way it's a beautiful Forum here, I learned alot here about the W113.

Greetings: Ger.

Sorry Gerster, I referred to you as Jordon. Old age is creeping up on me

Doesn't matter John. What's old?

49er · « **Reply #8 on:** April 25, 2012, 22:56:44 »

I was 24 when I bought my SL, Sept 18, 1968, Do the Math:-)

What I wanted to say that someone could be old by 50 and another person by 75. It's just the way you feel it.

Gr.Ger.

Hello Rick, I will surely come to you so you can have a look at it. I hope you like it.
Car is going to the RDW tomorrow so I hope to have it at the end of next week.
You surely have a lot to do at your car but I'm sure you will fix it.

Greetings: Ger.

I still have to wait for my car, it didn't get his Registration because some paper was missing from the US Title, seller says everything will come it's only a delay of some weeks.
Very disappointing for me.

hank sound · « **Reply #14 on:** June 03, 2012, 03:18:26 »

Ahh-ha, that's why you have the US bumper-etts. Don't worry gerster, in no time at all, the paperwork will be done - and between drives, you'll be looking for things to "futz" with

Drive & enjoy her in the best of health.

Cheers, Hank

Thanks. Hank.

Cheers, Ger.

gerster · « **Reply #16 on:** June 11, 2012, 17:08:17 »

Car had it's Registration now, so I hope to get the car next Saturday.

gerster · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2012, 22:47:25 »

I finally got my car last week. There's still something to do on it I've noticed.

Garry · « **Reply #18 on:** June 28, 2012, 01:45:18 »

Gerster,

There is always something to do on it even when you think it is finished.

Nice car, enjoy.

Garry

gerster · « **Reply #19 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:59:13 »

Thanks Garry.

Here with hardtop.

Garry, Nice pictures of your beautiful Pagoda. It is if my car had a twin "sister" :-)

John

Gerster,

The paint color comes as a surprise to me! Check out my 670 Ivory car PWW. (pre-white walls). Looks very close.

Happy Motoring!

Here some pics of my beauty I made this weekend, on the last picture my other beauty, my daughter, she likes the Pagoda too.

Hello Ger,

Very nice pics indeed (also the last one ....

)

BTW, yours is a 1970 you claim...
why does it miss headreasts - as a US-delivery car ...??

It's after serial 004052 isn't it?

Best,

Achim
