Hi 👋 viewing from New Zealand. I love this car. Beautiful condition for a 1973 model. I had a high school friend in the 1970s, and his uncle drove one exactly the same as this. Colour everything. Very nice it was. From Carl.
Superbe la Citroen DS 23 Pallas IE boîte Hydraulique, la couleur Brun Scarabée cette beauté unique lui donne ce qu'elle est une voiture unique, confort, souplesse, puissante, une tenue de route inégalable la reine de la route...................
If I was sitting on a pile of money, I'd love to own one. From what I understand, the DS won't quite drain your money like some other European classics like an Alfa Romeo Milano.
@@thelegendaryblackbeastofar39You’re right. The “diaeresis” (two dots) over the e in Citroën indicate (in French) that the second of the two vowels is to be pronounced separately from the first - ie it’s not an “oe” diphthong but two sounds. That and the standard French pronunciation of the other letters make it “Seet - roh - ehn” (complete with throaty French “r” sound!). Even better on these cars is the meaning of the initials. “DS” is pronounced “day-ess” in French, which is exactly the same as “déesse”, which means “goddess”. Its predecessor was the “ID”, pronounced “ee-day” - the same as “idée” which means “idea” or “concept”. So the Citroën “Concept” became the “Goddess” when they perfected it! They do like a clever pun, the French. Anyhow, however you say it, it’s a wonderful car, if only I could afford one!

It’s a Cee- trern. Learn to pronounce the name!
When I hear actual French people say it, it sounds like si-throw-en, the accent on the r making it sound a bit like w.
