What a beautiful example Mr. Lloyd and such an accurate review. Some interesting differences being a STH.African car. I am the owner of the Hubnut 3 wheel demo. car. He filmed it on his visit to Tasmania. . It’s gone on to be his most popular video with over 1 million views. My little brag. 😄

Glad we got it right, sir! Mr Bill and I did work quite hard on this to ensure that we got the facts right, and I am pleased to hear that is not full of mistakes... I remember that video!

Thank you Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Bill. Another exquisitely done Tweed Jacket Review. Charles de Gaulle was 6' 4½", sir!

A beautifully filmed video of a beautiful classic. In a parallel universe, I am in 1960s France, smoking a Gitane and driving this in the glorious French countryside! Thank you sir, and thank you Mr Bill.

Mr Bill did a really good job this time. It took a while to put it together, but we are both very pleased with the final result.

It is absolutely one of the finest pieces of 20th century design, isn't it?

A fantastic and engaging review Sir of a beautifal Citroen. We do enjoy a Tweed Jacket Review Sir.

We do, sir, although we have to release them quite sparingly as they take a lot more work than a standard review.

Hi 👋 Greetings from New Zealand. Stunning Citroen DS. Beautiful condition inside and out. It must be a dream to drive. It looks so nice in black with the red interior.

I mean, if you can get used to the gear change, the indicators, the clutch, the accelerator and the handbrake (all of which I found quite challenging), then it could be a dream to drive, I suppose...

@lloydvehicleconsulting Yes , the Citroen is different to other cars.

Very fine review sir. I always thought these would be perfect to retro fit an electric motor to replace the slightly crude engines they had.

Yes, they are very good candidates for classic car electrification! We did work hard on this one, so glad you enjoyed it.

There was a guy in Derby who had a white DS with the later headlamps when I was a kid. Very pretty car.

Sir, that sounds like it would have been quite a car! Thank you ever so much indeed for watching and commenting once again.

Well presented recording . Beautiful car, although I prefer the Opron facelift version.

@lloydvehicleconsulting 4 ай бұрын

We do like to push the boat out on occasion on the channel! Yes, I think I prefer the later ones, but to find any right hand drive one in this sort of condition is quite rare now.

Interesting take on the South African DS. Only in the UK Slough built and South African Ds did they have a wooden dash... Everywhere else they were metal until 1969/60 when the 3 dials and more textured material came in. This car seems to be a hybrid for the S A market. DSs had power steering and hydraulic gear change with leather trim. IDs had manual steering and manual gear change. In Australia from 1961/67 IDs were assembled in the same Melbourne factory as Peugeots. DSs were fully imported. My first car was a 1962 ID 19 which had power brakes with a pedal instead of a button. My second car was a 1964 ID19, then DS21 (Non Pallas) Hydraulic, then D Super, GSs and my ultimate ... 1972 DS21 EFI 5 speed Pallas with leather, better than my 1975 DS23 EFI 5 speed. Eventually I had a new CX2400 EFI Prestige 5 speed... a formidable machine. The early blinker switch on the dash was on a 15 second time which made a ticking sound. All Ds had 5 suspension settings. Bottom - (no suspension) for servicing, wheel changing, ease of passengers getting in, looking cool. 3 driving heights - normal, intermediate and upper - the upper was not used a full speed and was for rough roads. Top - (no suspension) for clearing obstacles, floods, wheel changing, letting older passengers out, driving on 3 wheels. Greetings from "Down Under" where all Citroens are supreme open road cars... This week after 102 years of continuous sales of Citroens it was announced... no more importation of Citroens - built by Peugeot... The first car to navigate around Australia was in 1925 - a 1923 Citroen 5CV....

I think the DS did have an option elsewhere to have the manual gearbox from the early 1960s as well as in South Africa (I did an unbelievable amount of research for this video, far more so than usual), but I would have definitely preferred the semi-automatic, as it was very tricky to drive. The indicators were an absolute pain as well! Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting.
