I expect that Cees mailed my poster, but perhaps some one can post a picture of the poster to share with us all.

Thank You
Bob Geco

Hi Bob - a picture is coming soon!

Looks great! Nice work, Cees; I know you've put a helluva lot of time and energy into producing it, and it shows.

OK, so how does an average guy like me acquire one of these beauties?

Thanks for posting the photo Mike. The graphics designer who did the artwork is making a small-size image that we can post here and it should show the actual colors a bit better.

As for ordering, you can send me an email (cees@klumper.demon.nl) with your postal address (not a PO Box I suppose since I will mail out the poster in one of those special-purpose tubes) and the number of posters you would like to order.

The price is EUR 20 or $25 per poster plus the actual postage cost. Proceeds go to cover the actual production costs first (some $3,000); anything left over is for the Group's funds, so will flow back to the Pagoda community in some way. US orders will be mailed out from the US so as to cut down on postage costs.

I have received some inquiries already from members who would like to order several posters. When you order 4, you will receive 5 (so a 25% discount in that case applies).

I am approaching parts and service vendors (like Van Dijk, Gernold Nisius and the like) to see whether they are interested in reselling the poster, so in time you may be able to pick one up at one of those addresses; if so, I will post them here on the site.

Also, I will be putting the poster onto Ebay from time to time, seeing there are many Pagoda enthusiasts who still have not found their way to our site yet.

Thanks for your interest!

Excellent ideas!

Thanks so much for all the hard work, it's really paid off big.  You'll be getting an order from me (and a bunch of other people I'm sure!).

Great job.

Great job and happy to be part of the Pagoda history.

Thanks Cees.

I read the recently issued Mercedes Enthusiast special article on the Pagoda yesterday and noticed that two of the poster entries are also in that article: Tan lak Tho from Malaysia (the same photo), and Tom Awando from Kenya (different photo, but taken on the same day and location). I referred the journalist to Tan and Tom at his request to get in touch with some owners around the world.
The international character of this Group is one of the things I really like about it!

The first 12 tubes went out in the mail today to addresses in Europe and the US (yes Bob, yours are on their way too). Nice to know these posters are finding their way all over the world. In the next PW, we will post a photo and order info. For one thing, it's nice to see faces to the names of some posters here!

p.s. email me if you want to get a better-quality image via email (just a tad too big to post here)

I bought the poster from Cees at the Blacklick sesion. I took it to the framing shop today, after umpteen gazillion dollars they will have it framed and ready to display to the world in a couple of weeks. It is a super effort, and many thanks to Cees for putting it together.

Thanks very much Jonny. Just at this moment I am preparing tubes with the posters that were sold at the tech session last weekend, more than the supply that we had on hand. Posters going out today to Jim Villers, James Pancoast, Mark Arnold, Larry Holtry and also to Bob Smith, Tan Lak Tho and Terry Shores. Will have to do this again at the 50th anniversary!
