@jalefkowit none of us are worthy of such beauty.

@jalefkowit I love the Chapron in this color. I feel like Cary Grant drove one in a movie…

@jalefkowit An earlier one and not quite the right shade—but I was on the right track haha

@jalefkowit It's gorgeous. Wowie

@jalefkowit My God, someone made a Citroen that's attractive???

@jalefkowit Yes, please. In that colour.

Now that is amazing!

I wasn't aware of the "continuation" series. Not that I'm anywhere close to that sort of expense.

Years ago I almost bought a similar year DS21 sedan that a Citroen enthusiast had just done a complete ground up restoration on.

At the last minute I came off all practical and backed out of the deal. Still regret it. Now they go for multiple times what I had agreed to.

But this is on an entirely different level.
