    I've always liked the quirky, and oh so French, looks of the Citron DS. It was at the cutting edge of technology when new. Had a friend who owned one, but I never did.

    I don't think I've ever seen one of these in the flesh (so to speak) but I like it a lot - those sleek lines and gentle curves...it's beautiful!

    I always thought they looked so futuristic.

    My family owned one of these (exact colour too!) in the 1970s... it was such a comfortable, roomy car. My brother and I loved it when the engine started and you could feel the car rising up :-)

    I have not seen this for YEARS.
    Brought back some funny memories a long time ago. :-)

    The owner must LOVE his/hers car.

    I'm sure the car owner made up that parking lot. A groovy car it was back in the day.
