Hi everyone,

I have had a bid of 35,000 pounds sterling for the car can some one give me some advice on Is that about the right price ?
Its lees than I hoped for.
Let me know If any interest at around this bid figure as have to sell soon.
Many thanks again.


Im new to this site so may need help.
I have a part restored left hand drive 1967 Pagoda In the UK that sadly I need to sell, I need the money to prop up one of my business that I have struggled with during the pandemic.
I have some pictures that are attached, The gearbox has been refurbished along with the back axel, head gasket done, full paint off job, new interior, 80% re chromed, the car just need putting back together. The car was running and driving before we started the restoration so all part are there. Imported from Texas so was no rest on the car.
I dont have the time or the money to finish the project.
Contact me on the Group or call me on 07770850636 happy to go over detail with you.
Im looking for 50K OBO

Good luck with the sale (and with your business). Just a note, that 'imported from Texas' by itself does not mean it actually lived in Texas for any significant amount of time. It could have been in Michigan for example for 45 years, then was moved to Texas for 6 months before being sold as 'a Texas car' (or, more typical, 'a California car'). But given how much work was done on this car, there's probably no rust issues now in any event.

Looks very nice.  A couple of suggestions:

Since this is an international site you should put “UK” in the title as in this case location matters.   Also you could clarify you mean 50k sterling ( if that’s what you mean). 

Also, you should advise which model car you have.  It might be  a 230, but since you say 1967, it could be an early 250? 

Seems like an amazing opportunity for someone close to you.   Best of luck with the sale and business.

This John G from UK joined, posted once, and hasn't come back in 8 months to comment on any of these replies.  I don't think he's watching.  He does have the email icon under his username, so you could click that and send an email to see if the car is still for sale.  He also left his phone number in his message.

Based on the separate piece for radio, I’m assuming this is a late 230 SL?  Whatever the case, the car is  an excellent opportunity to acquire something very nice at a reasonable cost.
