Now my second US Pagoda is on BAT and don't worry,  I still have a Pagoda!

My listing

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1968-mercedes-benz-250sl-16/

Old listing

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1968-mercedes-benz-250sl-6/

The car was original specified without a soft top frame and canvas but is not a California Coupe - I added, since my purchase on BAT , a new soft top frame and canvas.

Absolutely lovely original 250sl in a great colour combination. Said I would never sell this car but storage in California is crazy!

Please go to the listing on BAT to ask questions or even Bid!

The two cars you’ve recently listed are gorgeous.  The 250’s color combination is one of the most unusual I’ve seen.  If I were in the market I would have been interested in both!  Good luck to you.

As some others here with multiple Pagodas in the stable, you embody the 'For the man who has everything' saying. Good luck on the auction!

I am a little confused here. Both cars are for sale by a seller whose ID is "Wob" from California, USA, while the OP who claims these are his cars hails from the U.K.?
Maybe someone sees this a little clearer than I do??

Perhaps Drewtee lives part time in both the US and the UK.

Like I have my Pagoda at our place in France, but my Lancia and Triumph are with us here in California.
