well you do have a point here but a pagoda at rm175k, you are just buying a project car and be prepared to spend some money to get it right. These cars at this price bracket is not even close to concourse condition... values of properly restored RHD pagodas is hitting 80K GBpounds for a late 280SL or up to 100K GBpounds for an early model 230SL auto.. thats the market value for a good car today, im not putting down other cars but have a look at the cars offered at this price bracket rm150-200K and just see the condition first. if you were at the mb concourse the other days, just ask the owner of WA6190 how much he spent to restore the winning 230sl pagoda :)
