DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Did wonder: if it seems too good to be true…

Is this a RHD 67S?

I saw a modern take on the old Citroen H van on the autoroute the other day. A bit of googling later…

They’ve done a brilliant job at keeping it ugly.

The front end reminds me of the old Smart Roadster

Looks like Buzz Lightyear's grandad

Used to be one near Diss/ Palgrave way.

And there’s one near Woodbridge but may be busy racing

That second pic is at the perfect angle to make one handlebar disappear. Got a floating throttle

2 things… where near Downham Market would there be anywhere to do a race school? Snetterton is about an hour away…

And is that a DS shorty?

it was sold from the stand to Mrs Oppenheimer (Mr O was head of De Beers, headquartered in Sth Africa)

Hello, I have never found enough info on the car unfortunately. It was sold new in London but never registered and shipped to South Africa. Was the 1st RHD 69t sportomatic manufactured that year (I think) but is now manual. 1 of 6 first batch production cars shipped to Uk for MY 69. So not special ...

Ignore…

I recall the body panels coming up in 2011 - think they were discussed on here too

That's the problem these days. Auctions give you FOMO so your 4 week strategy is straight out the window

I am a natural at man-maths. You're lucky I even mentioned the buyer fee. I certainly wouldn't have to my CFO

£47,350 + 15%
Did you buy it Rob?
