No connection with the seller.

Currently pretty cheap £520. Seats look comfy. Definitely a project!

Oh for space and a deep enough pocket ;)

Love that one :D I'd have to put UK-spec. orange indicator lenses on it though - clear ones just don't look right to me...

On the face of it this looks like an opportunity to own a DS for not too much money, but you will need space and stamina to get it up to standard. The combination of manual gearbox and LHD takes it out of my interest range although I love the colour!! :-D

That is gorgeous :cool:

I like how they highlight and make a point of stating the occupations of the previous owners :)

Went for £10,050. presumably plus fees.
If I was closer I'd have bid on that.

This is the second one of these that has come to my attention recently, Jim and I saw one in Kings Lynn, and it is almost the perfect replacement for my MX3 being auto and the Toyota 16V EFi engine which I like. 20k less miles than my MX3 and very tempting except I'm not overstruck with the doors!! :-D

Don't know. For reasons I cannot elucidate, they've never appealed. Somehow they loose something with the roof chopped off and the hood always looks rather awkward when up.

So, on this occasion I'll pass. Had it been a proper one I'd have been all over it like a rash.

Cherry red is a good colour :)
