For nearly £30K I would expect at least that much grip on the wheels of a DS!! Seriously though it does look like rather a nice example. Regards, Matthew T.

Yes. You've discovered why our cars don't rust - the water can't sit on them.
It's big, it's French, it's blue with beige leather and leaks green fluid...
