Could have bought one in 1971 for £100, but was on £3 a week back then,so it was a lot of dosh, would love one now.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL

Just loved this wonderful car. I didn't even know it existed as an european/UK car, as I thought a car like this could only be american. These kind of cars makes you feel very special when you drive them but unfortunately they are not suitable for our tiny and crowded european countries with narrow roads.

🎉 what a lovely mature lady! Still going strong?...

lets compare the 1956 Lagonda , Jaguar , Aston Martin , Bentley , Jenson , Austin Healey to name a few , all faster than the Chevy / Caddy and can go round bends ......

I OWNED ONE OF THESE IN THE 1960s IN GOLD AND PALE YELLOW,ONE OF THE BEST CARS I EVE OWNED!🧑

Beautiful! 😍😍

A Totally Awesome Build

I love my UK family

So beautiful and badass

When is a kit car not a kit car, Is it when it's a Morgan? I have a JBA Falcon. One tester described a well put together Falcon as mine is being built by the great car builder John Watson, as better than a Miogan. That was a few years back now and Morgan's have improved build quality wise.

Loved them

Probably the best of all the rust buckets

We in the States call them station wagons too. Most just say "wagon" for short.

It would have been great to display how the middle row of seats fold completely flat, the cushion flips 180degrees and the squab 90degrees to provide a very long and flat load space. I am always disappointed in engineers who do not bother, it seems, to provide what should be a basic feature of a load carrier. Even my W124 wagon, while it could not have the cushion flip beyond 90degrees, allowed one to remove it, so not impacting the load space length.

Cars just don’t get any prettier than a PA. Scaled down Americana

I really like the design and looks of this car. Haven't seen one for sale in the US, especially with left hand drive.

We had some friends in Africa who drove their Citroen Safari all over West Africa, and on one occasion crossed the Sahara north to south. This was in the 60's so it was a real adventure. They actually cracked the engine sump halfway across, and glued, yes glued, the crack shut and proceeded with caution and made it. As far as I was concerned it was the absolute coolest car in the world. Still in my top 5.

A break (station wagon) can never be DS.. always ID is that correct? Amazing cars 😊👍

I hate the seats and the dash - the rest of this car is fantastic. Does any other car use a button for breaks? There crazy that it raises up like that - how unusual is that?

I remember having a die-cast model of the Citroen DS Safari when I was a kid. I loved all the versions of the DS, but unfortunately never owned one.

Last time I was on a magic carpet Never

I think you mean saloon, and not coupe! The coupe, though very rare, has only two doors while the ordinary saloon car has four! (and comparable to the Break)

I have a temperature gauge in my swedish sold DS 23! Very strange that this is missing in the english cars!

It´s rack and pinion steering, thus very precise!

You should not the drive the car in the highest position! It is just for service and changing tyres! The car is totally stiff and could be damaged if driven in this position.

The idea behind the one-spoke steering wheel is also a safety feature. It has no "crasch center" and is designed to minimize injuries on impact. It bends rather than protrudes in to your chest.

When changing tires you don´t even have to insert a stand "closest to the wheel to be changed". There is just one ancor point in the middle of the car, and it raises both the font and the rear wheel at the same time!

Beautiful cars. In NZ they, for some reason, rusted like bastards. Probably from boat ramps and the ensuing salt-water exposure Especially around and under the rear roof pillar, ("C" pillar?), which would detach. You could jump on the rear bumper, and the back doors would pop open. Massive amount of work to repair, but worth it. Think the last version here was the PASX. Super cool car, and rigid once fixed properly. And those rolling coloured speedos!!! So cool. I spun a fixed one, at speed. All good. Scared the shit out of me, though.

I bet that big back seat saw some action .

A PA Vauxhall does NOT look American. Quite and individual car. And it is a PAX, not a PA. With the Big Block engine,,2.6 litre. As for the youth of today,, column changes werer very common in this era of car. A friend of mine has had a PAX since 1969. In storage but compete Stags?? Do any havve that horrid engine still?

Grand video, great car but why the annoying ' music '?

1984. I had just arrived at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk. I walked to the local garage in Barton Mills and rented their green-gold Viva until I bought a new car. Great time.

the early one with the borg warner 35 was slower than an 1800 Maxi , what an embarrassment when your latest girlfriend was driving mine and said, is that it!! when she put her foot down to overtake a car in front of us....a bit like having a 2 inch cock

you are all living in a dream world, I had a Stag for 30 years from the 70s . I modified it to death, to make it worth while. Conan ex SOC modified co-ordinator

I hope i die before we run out of Cresta's. Lovely car.

She is a beauty. I wonder what the value is?

Very nice car!

I wouldnt forgive that... and I think the 57 belair was ugly

When you stand close to the rear you can read the plate ,and from a distance you can still read it due to the shape of the rear door. When changing a flat the there is only one stud to attach the stand on each side if memory serves me right and when you drop the suspension both wheels raise. On the saloon there is one bolt at the rear of the wing to remove the complete wing .the hydraulic lever can be raised if you are carrying a heavy load.i have seen a brake running with one ton of coal in the back with level suspension. The front brakes are inboard and sit beside the gearbox and not on the wheels,this greatly increases the breaking efficiency of the brakes. Thank you for the video I was around when Citroen moved into Dundee Scotland where my love of the mark comes from.

I had a drive of one of these , when I was very young, I thought it was superb, the steering was brilliant like Ford Consuls & Zephyrs effortless holding a straight line, I think less hard work than some modern cars. Cars of these eras were bullet proof, they rarely missed a beat, red lights never came up, there was usually only one for the generator. Extremely cheap to maintain, miles better than new cars, quick & easy to get at anything, totally simple, quick to do anything.

Very nice and knowledgeable presentation Freind .

Most of these older motors were so heavy ,built so well and strong but running one now ,you'd need the road tax wave to buy fuel but what was so special to many of us back then ,the smell inside spose you'd call someone who likes this ,a petrol head .

My parents had one of these when I was a kid. Real pretty, but a dreadful rotbox. The body panels seemed to have been made from ginger biscuit...

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ..

I had one of these. in1968. It was brilliant. You could put start it put it in gear get it moving then get out of the car and jog alongside it . Used to do this on an old runway while serving in the RN Both my friends had these too. The bench seats were brilliant like single beds 😜. Also they ere so easy to work on I took the engine apart and replaced all pistons and Big end bearings in a small lock up garage with no special.tools I just improvised and jacked up the engine block.

I had an “L” registered model. I am now 75 and it is the best car I ever had. It had a semi-automatic gearbox. You just moved the lever into the next gear position and it changed, pushing back on the throttle if you needed to reduce revs. Sadly at 108,000, although it was mechanically perfect, rust, the Achilles of all Citroen’s at that time, started to eat it away and I sold it. I do not know why Citroen abandoned the hydropneumatic suspension and it’s magic carpet ride. Cost I suppose. I also had a GS, and CX, both with that suspension and never a problem with it. In fact I was a Citroen fan and had a 2CV, Dyane and recently a C3, although this is really a Peugeot, and not a soft and comfortable Citroen. Neigh no.

This one needs a suspension overhaul, it's way lumpier than it should be.

Probably the prettiest car I’ve ever owned. It was a rust bucket and went faster than it’s handling and brakes should have. Loved it.
