What would be the point? The environment or your budget? Hardly the budget I suppose if you can afford what the seller is asking :lol:

It says it's a 1.6 diesel, so expect it to be the old Endura unit or maybe a Japanese one.

I saw a diesel DS advertised recently in France, I think.

That's what I thought too. No peeking under the hood. I'll give them a call since the web page does not give any info about the engine.
I could not save the web page or pictures either :(

Not a very elegant way of saving pictures but you can do a screen grab (Ctrl + Print Screen) and then save (Ctrl+V) to a Word document.

Certainly a very smart looking DS.

If you are running Vista or Win7 use the snipping tool found in the accessories folder in the start menu. Just draw round what you want and save it as a JPEG. You can change the border colour in options so you don't get a red or black border around picture. If you ae not running either vista or win7 and really want them I could always grab em and send em to ya.

Now orf out for evening though.

DS motor turn "backwards" compared to most. I'd be surprised if it was 1.6litre. It'll probably be a 2.2litre C35 motor (maybe the C35/Hvan was sold with a 1.6litre diesel as well that runs backwards). God it would be slow and gutless ... why would anyone do that to a DS :o :shock: :? Hell of a nice looking car though !!!

seeya,
