Did you know that it was a Frenchman that started Ferrari and as a result of that also Alfa Romeo.


And at the Charge of The Light Brigade, the Russian guns the English charged were French made.

Someone I know has visited the Losson restorers and from what I can see and know of working on DS's , Philippe is supreme.

Before anyone can fully appreciate what Philippe Losson, does and has done you have to know how the DS's are constructed and accept that they are the most advanced car in the world. All other cars are obsolete by technical comparison. This is my opinion of the Citroen and I'm a Jaguar lover.


Back in 1965 I drove into Citroen Canada and traded my 1963 Austin Healey in for my first ID19;fed up with riding on cart springs and freezing in the winter cold with the useless car heater in the Healey. In 1967 I then bought a DS21 Pallas with Tabac leather seats.


Since moving to England I now have a C6. There is nothing else to say.


Except now Citroen have decided in their wisdom, (or as I see it as lack of wisdom), to stop using the fantastic suspension system that make them so special.

Sincerely, Robert L W Hamon, alive and well, living in the south of England, (only because I can't yet afford the south of France).

P.S I'm still waiting for the rich widow to come along. Cheers!
