Well, yes Phil, I know it is not a small French car but it was smaller until the Wee Woman and I offered up the repaired wings tonight. Lots of black powder coated bits, new front under tray and front body bits and it should be off again this weekend.

Ms French would love a DS and I saw a nice one on highway passing Rennes yesterday and they look so amazing.

La Déesse marche! Well ok for a few trips and then no 1-2 gears. Back in and inspected linkage. Lock nuts on the outer Bowden selector cable loose so 3-4 and rev ok but nothing the other way. Embarrassing 5min fix - must have adjusted the selection and then distracted by ‘work’ before nipping up the nuts.

Came across this and I remember it was quite something at the time - precursor to SUV’s as there was only the Landrover 90/109 or the Range Rover at the time.
