-   Elegant color combination

Originally from Las Vegas in Nevada, this lovely Pagoda was imported to France in 2008. It has been in the same French owner’s hands ever since. It is fitted with the smooth 4-speed automatic gearbox and its hardtop. The soft top is in navy blue Alpaca and the interior in blue-grey Tex. The engine has been rebuilt, along with front suspension ball joints, silent blocks, bearings and shock absorbers. It has travelled only 10,500 miles since then, or approximately 17,000 km. An electronic ignition system has been fitted, along with a battery cut-off switch. Complemented with an automatic electric antenna, a period Becker Europa FM car radio is mounted on the dashboard and functions perfectly well. A file of American and French invoices is included with the car, evidencing the service history of this charming convertible. An adjustable wind-deflector net ensures that long hair stays in place. This is a remarkable example in a subtle colour combination.
