Anyone fancy a '74 Citroen DS?

[Goggs]

Here's a great eulogy to the DS by none other than the man who discovered Niravana. Also, Petrolicious is a wondeful channel if you're into cars..

They look awesome till............ you see the bonnet raised and a mechanic stood by it repairing it

Oh my goodness, that's a beauty.

100k would seem a lot, even for a concourse soft-top or whatever, but I could be out of touch. 20k for a nice shiny one sounds ok though - no expert, so "sounds Ok" is just a feeling

I think like bubble cars and 2CV's, there is a tipping point, when suddenly more people want them than vehicles are left, prices go crazy. One minute I was thinking about buying a 2CV, next they were way out of reach. Hanging on to my 1962 Vespa!

My 1983 Austin Maestro will pay for my retirement.

I disagree, my uncle had one of these and with the 1750 engine it was bloody quick.

Mymfirst car was an Allegro 1750HL and it was a flyer for the time. When it wasn't broken it would keep with my mates Dad's early uninjected XR3, and was less rusty.

FTFY.

Sad but true.

Blimey, that much?!

I was being generous. It'll need to be one of those proper barbers with the red and white stripey thing outside, and bare floors. None of your posing parlours.

Yes there is that. I wouldn't have minded a DB5, but thanks to bloody James Bond they're half a million quid, so I'll have to get summat else instead

Beautiful car but it's a Citroen!

Worst car I ever owned was a brand new BX GTi in the early 90's - rattled like crazy from day one and had numerous hydraulics issues. Went like a bat out of hell though.

I am not a petrol head by any means but that is the most beautiful car ever made

Fair play to Citroen, they did produce some beautiful, innovative, and rather fine and well-engineered cars
