A 1964 Citroën DS 19 Decapotable – its shark-like, low-drag chassis (designed by coachbuilder Henri Chapron) underpinned by Citroën’s (cutting edge at the time) self levelling hydro-pneumatic suspension, power assisted brakes, clutch and steering.
Three careful owners and a full restoration later, it’s currently at auction, listed between €135,000 and €175,000.

I can just see the type of mid-life crisis man that will buy this car.
I’m married to him ;)
That’s one sick ride to go get the milk Millie
It sure has it’s perks…
I just wish it were true. I’m just a worker ant, really.
Aren’t we all, aren’t we all….
No mid-life crisis man would buy this car. He’ll try for a 911 Turbo but settle for a Boxster, or more realistically, a Mazda MX-5.
mx5 is a decent little cart in fairness
top tip for relatively cheap midlife fun tho is a well cared for Honda S2000…would have one over a crappy bockster anytime
people give the mx5 such a hard time. I had one and loved it and would never bother with a porsche
the new mx5 looks great, would love to see a revamped s2000.
As did I, rotide – belting car
B@lls, I wouldnt have one, but its still a poor mans Delahaye.
Or should we all be rockin Priuii ? Philistine.
The DS – say it in French and it means ‘goddess’ – was the subject of a seminal semiotic work by Roland Barthes. Always a joy to read:
