[Closed] Je t'aime!

Lovely car, simply lovely. I really think it would be one of the few classics I would want to own, but even finding a decent hard top version is hard work these days.

I'm not sure Jane B was [i]stylish[/i], McM.

Merci pour votre contribution. Je voudrais une vue derriere svp 8)

I think you can see clearly the level of my French 😉

Gorgeous motor 😀

La course de votre vie 🙂

Ooh la la!

Alan Clark used to have one, didn't he? My dad had a much less glamorous but still awesome CX Familiale. If you had the DS now would you want to drive it much?

I can't help but feel that our view of the past is colored by the fact that we only see what was then considered worth taking photographs of, which are disproportionately going to show the beautiful people being stylish with stylish things.

The 60's were also the time of slum clearances and smallpox outbreaks, not very stylish there.

In 50 years time they'll probably think we all looked like a mix of David Beckham and Dizzee Rascal and drove round in Bugatti Veyrons.

That said I'd love an old Alfa Giulietta Spider.

My uncle has a concourse standard DS. He's done a complete ground up restoration including all the re-pluming the hydraulics. He started work on it when I was 5 or 6 and I am now nearly 40 and I think he has finally finished it.

Citroen ask to display it sometimes as a show car. Thing of absolute beauty and so many toys on it that car makers today are trying to make out are 'innovations' (peer round corner headlights, self-levelling suspension etc).

So stylish as well...

My brother bought a DS from a mate, non running, in a ace green colour. It lived in another mates garage in Newcastle for years, and then he sold it on when he emigrated to NZ a few years back.
It was a lovely car.

No chance with the Berkin, Mcmoonter. She liked her men handsome

It think he gave it to his wife as a peace offering.

ooh la la indeed.
my Latin teacher at school had one, a thing of beauty (...)

just so many innovations as above; my first car was a GSA, poor imitation but still had a certain gung-ho style about it..

Moi non plus.

I would like to say the car as the curves will remain the same over time. Although a spin with Jane Birkin would fun too.

Relault moved on from Nicole.

Has that Renault just crashed into a hen party?

Cars and women from the 1960's. Both look marvelous, but both likely to suffer massive breakdowns without warning...... 😉

I was there. The 60s that is. Growing up in a pit village. It was alright I suppose.

Choose between the lovely Miss B, and the DS CD?
I'd have both, if only to allow the common herd to gaze longingly upon the loveliness of both, and be left with lingering envy!
The DS is a stunning car, without a doubt, and I don't think I've ever seen a drop-head version before; it's beautifully sleek.

Yeah, I used to continue to spread the myth that French cars were unreliable but they're as good as Japanese cars now according to the reliability index. It's good old blightly who prop up the bottom now.

I'm not sure whose ladies are most reliable.

I saw Grand Prix (the movie) when it was on the box a few weeks back. I can't believe I'd forgotten how stunning Francoise Hardy was.
I grew up in the 60s. Excellent, as were the mid 70s on.until the 80s hit. Oh and the early E-types hardtops were the real stunners.

Neither really appeal to be honest. However one of the latest DS range with someone else driving and Sophie to chat to in the back seat would not be refused:
