Six-cylinder Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Unmistakeable! Possibly the only DS to appear. Didn't see any other CXs either. No SMs or GSs. Or Xantias There was a very smart blue GSA parked on the ring road. It was not one that I know, that lives in MK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC it has the amazing wraparound rear side windows... and the clamshell tailgate that glides away into the bodywork... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I stole this one off of FB from Andrew Winter. ...Really, did they *have* to catch me in the middle of blowing my nose? Granted, with my allergies it's hard not to. Was surprised to see no less than two Bedford HA vans there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadhg Tiogar Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 .....The Auto Union 1000 wafted past in a blue haze when I returned, near home. It lives out towards Southam and is usually parked next to a green Wartburg Knight Estate which is in regular use. Clearly a man of taste. Someone clearly likes his two-strokes. The smokey haze when he parked in the service lane was quite acrid. Easy to forget that once upon a time, two-stroke cars were more commonplace.....and pollution more visible.

It was jammed right up against the hedge in a vain attempt to stop the front sticking out into the road. Wikipedia says it does indeed have such a tailgate so I'd love to have seen it in action.
