Default Citreon DS

I personally have always liked these and think they are cool, the convertible absolute zero cool.

Any of the DS range floats my boat - so ahead of their time

Wow. Never seen a convertible DS before. It deserves to be cool for the front lights alone.

I vote very cool.

Definitely ahead of their time..

A schoolmate's parents were Citroen mad, had a DS23, DS23 Estate and ......... an SM (which was something else at the time!)

Definitely cool. My uncle had a 4-door sedan many years ago. Next time I'm home and see him, I'll ask what happened to it. Very unlikely he's still rocking it.

Definately a cool car with lots of quirkiness and innovations
If I found one like this I'd love to have one

Certainly innovative, self levelling suspension & headlamps, hydraulically adjustable suspension/ ride height & hydraulically steerable headlights,
I can't remember for sure, but didn't some have a primitive (by modern standards) Heads Up Display?

I love this estate for sale in Jersey on Pistonheads . . .

Its probably the earliest form of people carrier with those 2 fold out seats in the rear of the boot, and the dash still looks like something out of a spaceship
