No imagination needed when you compare the two side by side
Always had some sort of fascination with the Citroen, especially the Goddess
DS19 when that came out and with hydropneumatic suspension which I believe
you could adjust as you wqent along from a 4" to a 9" road clearance,
brilliant bit or work for the mid 1950's and also I think the forerunner of
the racing car hydraulic jacks they use today

No more than anyone who drives a current hybrid and thinks they're helping
to save the planet :)

The hydropneumatic suspension was a carry over from the previous model
15CV. For some odd reason it's often incorrectly attributed to the
DS19 as a world first.

I'd love a DS but they are commanding drug money these days.

My bad, I thought the DS19 had it first

In article <II3Pm.57377$ze1....@news-server.bigpond.net.au>,

The 15H only had it on the rear suspension (which required recalibrated
torsion bars on the front, and anti-roll bars front and back), so I
suppose the DS can take credit as the first with four-wheel
hydropneumatic suspension.

Cheers John
