I suppose you have the ownership situation worked out?

I also suppose the vehicle's condition has changed in the twelve years since those photos were taken...

I learned something today, which is that there is a French territory where this car is located. I would almost say, if someone would pay me to go there and do the complete restoration so that the car can be preserved and stay in this unique location, it would be one of those 'lifetime experiences'. Plus, someone should either help this Pagoda out of its misery Or restore it to its former glory, AND I am sure fblanchard could use some help with this situation as well!
Bon chance, hopefully this time we will see a conclusion happen one way or another. I am sure you are tired of looking at the 'voiture' as well ...
It reminds me of the days we produced the 40th anniversary poster, and we found there were Pagodas in Kenya and Ethiopia at that time, in unexpected condition and place.

On the principle the ad is interesting but we know almost nothing about the car except the price...
It's a bit short to go foward, provided the location requires some money to travel the car somewhere it could cared of

I just wanted to let you know that the car is sold. The buyer is a local friend member of the local group of enthousiats and intend to restore her. He is happy and I’ m happy too.
I strongly’recommanded he checks our group.
Eventually he will become a member.

Frederik, good news for you! Does this leave you with any Pagoda?

What is your friend waiting for to join? Eventually?

Hi I still have my red 280SL year 1969.
I have problems with humid spark plugs although I installed a 123 ignition device. It was tuned by professional with the special lamp. Nothing changed. I changed the injection pump for the « bordeaux » one nothing changed. I will make a post in the correct section for that problem.
Concerning the buyer I saw him last Sunday and he is besides a happy father of a little boy. He is I think very busy at the moment…
Kind regards.
