Hi, I’m Frederick and the SL’s and I live in The Netherlands. Bought an SL350 (R230) last year. The idea was to sell my Pagoda and buy an R230, but plans got mixed up by a black SL350 (no ABC worries!) I didn’t want to resist...

Hello Frederick, both lovely cars. The pagoda is just so special. Feel free to post more pictures, I could gaze at that car for a while.

You wouldn’t want my hernia, this morning I narrowly escaped spinal surgery. Finally cautiously walking again, the cars have been sitting for months... the grass always looks greener!

You're right of course, health is pretty essential for happiness. But that car...

I wish you a speedy recovery. Hopefully you'll be well enough to exercise those cars in the spring. They're best tucked away in the garage anyway at this time of year.

Hello and welcome.

That is a lovely set of cars and I personally love seeing the older cars, especially in good condition! Wishing you a speed recovery!

Guys! Here’s your chance to pick up a decent Pagoda. Just kidding, of course. (And I don’t even like that colour).

Hi Frederick, welcome to the forum. Just love your Pagoda. Drove one exactly the same as yours, same colour, everything, many years ago and never forgotten it :D

Unless you've had advance notice of my forthcoming lottery win, I am unable to bid on the Pagoda. Yours looks much prettier than the blue one too.

Actually I’m still selling mine. Didn’t get around to it, due to illness. Asking €70K. My Pagoda wants to see more European holiday destinations!
AJD - we won’t forget our delightful holidays with it, to the UK and to Southern Europe. Even the pouring UK rains, lasting for days on end, never spoiled the fun, for us or the SL. Stone dry inside.
