Yes - it's a CX. The DS was it's predecessor.

I thought my XC70 was a big estate, but this is huge.

I did see a DS - a convertible model - shortly after this, but I was driving and it was tucked away in a drive so I didn't get a piccie! I might cruise past again later.

Also, and as it's near the beach, there are a number of Citroen Mehari's which I only ever seen over here.

Those are 2cv or Ami8.
The DS  had one big service problem, 16 workshop hours to change a starter! The CX was a nightmare to do a clutch on!

The white one is a Citroen Mehari. Based on a 2CV. Even used by the French army as a jeep substitute.

A lot of speedway riders used the DS because there was so much room in the back they could get a speedway bike in there without taking the wheels off!

Yesterday I went to Wells and saw this amazingly smart 550 and spoke to the rider.  Don’t know if it’s anyone here?

I drove past Seaways cafe in Fridaythorpe today (on the York to Driffield road). Looks like a cracking biker cafe to stop at - if anyone is in the area, give it a try! (No piccies as I was in the Volvo taking my elderly dad for a drive).

There were some beauties there but a lot of people left early before I had chance to get photos. 🤔

Nimbus, new one on me? 4 pots too!

British?
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....
