1973 Citroen DS DS23 Familiale review from Sweden
"Expensive to maintain, but worth it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, it's been living in a barn for several years so the all 4 spheres were flat (got new ones), rust is common, but nothing serious.
Oil filter and exhaust were also needed.
General comments?
Love it, magic carpet ride, like the swirling lights it's not a gimmick, it's practical on small gravel roads that turn a lot.
Best front seats around, brakes are tricky - the hardest part in driving this car, and the gearbox and steering are really good.
