And the winner ... The Citroën DS!
James Elliott, editor of Classic & Sports Car, said: “The Citroën is a benchmark design, but we were still astonished that it came out on top when you look at the sexiness – and values – of some of its rivals. Apart from the Mini, it’s by far the most affordable car to get any nominations at all, which probably means it’s a great investment!
Giorgetto Giugiaro - the man behind the Maserati Bora, VW Golf, Fiat Panda and Lotus Esprit, said: “The only example of a car really conceived ‘outside the box’. It is just impossible to imitate.”

ReplyDeleteI have seen this news.
ReplyDeleteA joke of bad taste, until recently had one of these thrown in a corner here in Brasilia and just because the pseudo feel understood, I think I will! Neither I quote a lot of cars that, in my opinion, are very more beautiful than this and are even.
