With thorough text and detailed photography, every part of the car is cataloged.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The Citroën DS is one of the all-time great cars. Daringly styled and technically sophisticated, it was launched in 1955 as a startling glimpse into the future. It instantly rendered all other cars out of date. It was still ahead of its time when production ended 20 years later, and much of its engineering legacy—notably the brilliant hydro-pneumatic suspension—can still be seen on modern Citroëns.
Original Citroën DS reveals, in thorough text and over 200 color photographs, how these Citroëns altered in detail over the years. Specification descriptions, engine and trim permutations, production changes, identification number sequences, body colors, and more are all covered in detail.
An attractive and detailed guide to one of the great 20th century design icons, Original Citroën DS is an indispensable reference for all owners, collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts of these amazing automobiles.

Kiwi view on DS restorer's Guide,

This review is from: Original Citroen DS: The Restorer's Guide (Original Series) (Paperback)
This book is the most complete guide on the DS that I have seen. It gives excellent detail on the various models and years.
If I was asked to provide an area for improvement then it would be to recommend a greater range of Slough produced vehicles. The soft cover does not downgrade the quality of the book. Excellent reference book and one that I am proud to own.
