One For Classic Car Fans.....

What's all that green stuff?!

To be fair presumably the normal DS will have those too

My BX, Xantia & C5 all had them, but not in such prominent positions

I'm guessing "prominent" might be a good thing for maintenance, albeit in the way of the engine itself.

As an aside a pal had a DS (not the Maserati one!) and I don't think it was particularly troublesome

The pokey one was called the Citroën SM - IMHO it looks even better than the DS from which it is derived.

It's my money no object car - unless I change my mind, which happens often!

Pokey is relative though - my memory wasn't bad at 176bhp - it was actually only 168 from the 2.7 litre Maserati-dervived V6, and not many torques, either.

For the ultimate application of Citroen's hydraulics, cf the Maserati Khamsin (albeit it doesn't use them for suspension)

£200K for a Shuv it ? Yes please

I think this one qualifies. There’s a photo of another in the DAF museum but I’m not sure what it is. Looks well cared for

Looks like it was probably a custom build.

Is the DAF museum one a DAF Kini?

Thought I would pop this on here .
There is a J reg Ford Cortina mk 2 1600 E in need of some restoration for sale on Facebook Market place for £3200 in Salisbury . Amber gold .

I know many won't consider them classics but I spotted this time warp duo recreating a mid 1990s street scene. I'd quite like a K11 Micra actually. They were nice to drive.

It's amazing how narrow they are compared to the bloated Polo in front.

K11's have a cult following now. I reckon a nice low miler would appreciate in value over the next few years.

Saw this pop up on my socials last week. Not everyones cup of tea but I like it.

I'd say so.

The other small car I'd say could be a shrewd investment if you could find one that hasn't disintegrated would be the original Ford Ka. They had interesting styling, we're easy to run and maintain and nice to drive. Shame about Ford's usual lack of rust protection.

I'm a big fan of small cars of the '80s and '90s before small cars suddenly became much bigger.

I've always rated the Ka. Great nimble little machine with the only thing spoiling it being the 8v Endura engine.

Would have sold loads more if they all had PAS and the 16v Zetec engine.

Left-hand drive, Californian plates. Did he get lost?
