I was just reviewing an old horror movie on another of our sites and finding myself appreciating the Citroen DS that was used in one scene. So I opened up eBay, hunt around and found this 1970s Citroen DS available for auction.
According to the seller, this particular model is from 1974, with 100,000 miles on the clock and imported originally from Italy. The idea was to do it up, some of which was done to the tune of £1,600 from an established DS workshop. However, some work is needed to upgrade the interior and bodywork – but mechanically it's said to run just fine with both tax and MOT in place.
The 2.2-litre engine might drink petrol, but there's no denying that this is a head-turner and a genuine classic. Right now, bidding is at £1,119.
My father had one of those when I was a child, it was so cool! Such a smooth ride. Oh, the memories…
I wish he had kept it, but maybe one day I’ll look into one too…
(Great blog by the way!)
