In that time he has handled many restoration stories and articles about the Pagoda SL, which is one of the most popular models amongst the 10,000-plus members of the MB Club. Notable amongst these articles were those written by the late Roger Edwards, a club member and a leading authority on these cars who contributed his expertise to the production of this book. As well as running a Mercedes of his own, Chris has restored and runs an Allard and a Triumph TR4A. His garage also includes a 1930 Crossley Silver and a Triumph Herald convertible.

The Essential Buyers Guide - Mercedes Pagoda cars
I found this a most informative book and indeed Essential for those thinking about buying a Pagoda. It contains much detail and vital information. I remember driving several in the 1960's but then unable to afford one. Now having read this book I know that the only type to have will need to have been restored by the previous owner. They are complex and thus expensive to restore. Much is hidden from a casual inspection. The good ones are expensive (too expensive for me that is), those in the middle £20,000's would cost much more to bring them upto standard.
I am glad that I bought the book for I might have bought the best car I could afford, and that may not have been good enough. I would recommend that anyone with interest in these cars should buy this book. The information is most valuable; the cost of the book is very cheap. Clearly a good deal.
My congratulations to the author
