It's a major project mate but these early ones making good money and all the parts are available here.

Plenty of them in Libya. I'm sure they'd welcome you...

 

[Mavster]

Yesterday, more than 700 Renault and Alpine cars came together on the historical Montlhery circuit south of Paris for Losange Passion International.

I've just started re-watching the Italian crime drama 'Romanzo Criminale', the first few episodes are set in 1977 and one of the villains uses a nice DS. Lots of Continental chic in this series with period Porsches, BMWs, Citroens, Renaults, Alfas, Lancias, Fiats etc being used, plus an Innocenti Mini Cooper!

An early one, though according to my somewhat vague anorak’s guide to the DS it could be one as late as ‘67

Pre 62, as it’s not got the over-rider type front.

That must have been quite novel in the States amongst all the big home market motors.

My daughter just sent me this photo of the garage across the road from her work. She asked me what it is. I told her to put the camera down and get back to work!

'Cause the bloke is filling out his 'Diesel-Gate' claim form as a result of his heavy heart caused by the trauma of getting better MPG/range/lower-tax... and for shortening the life expectancy of a worm.... that should be worth a few grand for the claim Co and a hundred for him.
