They did a few things to it, and even managed to source a brand new OEM set of seat covers for it, restoring it to it's original glory....Seems if anyone is interested in a DS it could be a viable much cheaper way into one.
What a car! Sighs

Wheeler dealers citroen D S Super
Did anyone see Wheeler Dealers new series last night on Discovery real time?? They went to France and bought a gorgeous 1973 DS Super....They are such amazing cars, i just wish i had the time, money and space to have one in my life.

Hi Rob,
Yep, I saw Wheeler Dealer. Both programms. What a treat and what a smashing looking car.
It's amazing to see how readily available the spares are for the DS.
I recorded it all so I can watch it again over and over.
I think they went a bit over the top in changing the regulator. I'd have thought just a new accumulator sphere would have sorted out the frequent ticking problem. and, they didn't mention anything about fixing the leaks they found on the rear suspension.

Yeah i noticed they didn't mention any leaks after that point...seemed a bit strange...she is a such a lovely looking car....I just think they are so well engineered, with all the 'quirkyness' we all love about Citroens
I too was suprised just how easy it would be to keep one of the old girls on the road in the UK. As i said before though, the lack of a garage, the money and time you would need to invest in such a beautiful old classic such as the DS prevents me from getting one.
.....My beloved old xsara just doesn't cut it as a proper citroen in my eyes.....I am hoping to get myself into a nice late Xantia, to enjoy the brilliance that is Citroen hydrolic suspension.
Long live the DS!!
