I've always loved the Citroen DS and I'd not say no to an early model.
|
 |
My mother told me I'd never be allowed home again if I bought one!
|
 |
The wonderful Citroen Traction Avant. The Traction Avant was one of the
first cars to use front wheel drive (after DKW). Traction Avants were in
production from 1934 to 1957 when they were replaced by the DS.

This beautiful Traction Avant limosine was imported from Europe.

Notice the gear lever mountered in the dashboard like early DKWs.

The ubiquitous Citroen CV2 was first designed in the late 1930s. Some early models, called the TPV were built during the prewar years. In 1948 production started again and continued, with few changes right through to 1990.

I came across this 1925 Amilcar in Fremantle about a year
ago. I was riding the Ariel, saw it parked on the roadside
and stopped to take some pictures. When I was done I
surprised to find the Amilcar's owners were standing by the
Ariel admiring it. We all had a very good chat.
