Gorgeous French OAP spotted in the flesh.

Was out boozing the other week with a gnome... and wandered past this old beauty.

Utterly gorgeous...




Not seen one in the flash for years, such a beautiful car, in an ugly way....

Never understood the fascination with Citroens.....

[Superhoop]

My mate has one, and due to his love of all things French, also has a Peugeot 304 cabriolet and a Citroën Xantia V6 activa

His DS was used as my OH's ride to our wedding

[Shaw Tarse]

I like that!

Inded, Citreons - no!

DS - Yes!!

I hate most things French but have a soft spot like many fellow PHers for the DS!

This was in Clifton village... about 8 minutes meandering stagger from the White Lion.

The Portcullis- Top boozer! Will have to look out for the car, love the DS.

God that is one ugly car. Just awful.

No doubt i'll get lots of grief for that comment as per normal!!!!

Ah, they wouldn't let us in

I think this is because it was about 1.30 and they were redecorating.

And we were stinking drunk.

I think.

That is just about the only French car I would own. And it would be a pleasure to own that!

Lovely!

I really can't see the appeal in them, they're just horrible IMO

[boomboompow]

Love 'em; especially the little subtle styling details like the high-level rear lights

Part of the appeal I think is how far ahead of their time they were- Details like adaptive headlights et al.
