eBay tat volume 3.

All DSs had those extra lights. Smiths dials and leather make it a Slough car, but I think it's a manual DS rather than an I'D which makes it quite a rare thing. Can't actually see if it has a clutch pedal or not so maybe not.

There's a good explanation of the different light arrangements here - http://www.citroenclassics.co.uk/showroom.php

 

Mine is a series 3 Pallas manual.

Only the estates ( in the UK ), this has the DS dashboard for sure but I thought series 1 did not have round dials. Also series 1 did not have that odd light arrangement.

Yeah but it's not a series one is it, it's just a normal post '64 facelift ('series two') model. Some didn't have the extra lights, but most did.

I used to know a bloke who was adamant his Range Rover did over 30mpg. God knows how as my 3.5 was pretty good to get just over 20. (It had a full sports exhaust and sounded better than my mates TVR so I didn't drive it gently) The 3.9's were far worse on fuel so it is possible with an early 3.5 injection that he could get 24 driving it normally.

 

 

All men lie about two things.  One is their car's MPG.

That air con must have been an expensive option when new. What are the chances it still works?

In the late 80's early 90's the company I worked for let people choose a car from a lower company car grade then option it up to their grade limit.

There were a a couple of R8s with air con, (£800 from memory) but the biggest spunking of company money on a car with the most tragic residuals was the bloke who had a BX Gti with Alloys, leather and air con, funnily enough he bought it for his wife after 2 years.

I worked for a company in the early 90s that was taken over by a larger company. We went from a fairly sane and sensible car policy to one where your monthly allowance was augmented by 25% if you chose a Ford. This led to mad forays into the options list and probably the best specified ( and worst depreciating ) Mondeos known to man.

Hot looking Rover 420 GSi with cow going through the British Car Auctions tomorrow, it looks pretty hot, i wonder what it will make.

 

Me too.  I love these and is anyone in-house going to be there?

 

 

Went for a look-see at the MOT history and my attention was diverted

From the same seller (clearly a winner) an A-Series with many rusts and much patina but could be turned into a completely shit recovery vehicle.

 

both end in 5 days time. cheeky midweek collection anyone?

Belle Vue is Manchester and BA is a Manchester registration mark. Wonder how many owners...

I'd also be interested to see what it goes for.

I see the thumbnail, and I don't even open the auction. I'm straight in this thread.

Pre-emptively I'm going to click on "my media" and load the graphic.
