Citroën Goddess

A neighbour of mine has one (LHD and I'll have to work out the age), but each year manages to keep it on the road and get it through its MOT. It's kept outside on the road as if it were a goat herding tractor.

How does he do it? I thought DS required muchos maintenance

Thats nice, probably goes quite well being a 2.1, the bottom line is, if the maintenance is kept up (never misses a service) then there should be no reason why a car can't last this long, it goes to show how good the Citroen pedigree is.

Well I'm impressed especially as the owner has no garage and must rely on hiring a garage, a mate, a service person or otherwise.

Looking around the vehicle, there's hardly any rust, only some superficial spots here and there.

Anyone know what MPG he's likely to get out of this?

Oh and in the picture (mid left, above right wing of DS), that's my blue C5 awaiting my quick getaway!
