Hi Mark!

I remember that piece! VERY VERY nice cars those Pagodas!

Here's a link to a site where you can download the said TG report.

Enjoy!

Thanks for that.

Great link, Hope I could also download some of those...

Downloads on that site do seem to take a while for some reason, even on 2 meg Broadband - guessing their serves aren't particularly fast.
But it's a great site.

There's also www.finalgear.com, which has full episodes of TG and 5th Gear.

Im afraid there wont be any pictures of the car.My mate picked it up on Monday,and then took it in to acclaimed Mercedes specialist Roger Edwards for a general check over and waxoiling.Got the news this morning that gearbox oil seal would need replacing(gearbox out job)And the diff needed a complete rebuild.Cost for work £2,500.This was unacceptable to my mate as he had only just bought it,and bought it with the assurance it was a concourse example.He managed to take it back and get his money back.

Surprised as (when Top Gear used it), it was for sale Chelsea Cars. Thought they'd have corrected major things like that before Top Gear got their hands on it!

Still.....there are a few out there! May be your friends could get on sourced?

It wasnt bought from Chelsea cars.Some one else had bought it from them since then.There was quite a bit of paper work relating to its time with them though.
