Remember seeing one at a car show and it was the business, would definitely have one in the garage if I had the money (with a Maserati Shamal to keep it company).

Looking at How Many Left, that is a pretty rare spot:https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/lancia_thema_8.32

You don't see may Citroen DS but there was a phalanx of them on the boat from Hull to Rotterdam last week.

Talking to one of the owners they were off to a big meet:

I do like a DS...stylish.

There is a black one in pretty average condition that I've seen a few times around Scotland. The interior is brown, and I mean BROWN. It's the 2nd most brown thing I can think of, and oddly enough, I think of both in a similar way :puke

Saw a Blue Metro Manhattan today, just wish my unusual spots got a little bit more performance orientated these day :(

However did bring back fond memories of learning to drive in one.

Did an Edinburgh/Aberdeen run yesterday in a hire van to deliver our old sofa to my sister and had a Campervan unusual spot day yesterday:
2 x Split VW T2 Campervan - one was a left hand drive day van and other was the campervan. Truly cool vehicles and must hire one for a weekends camping sometime.

On the less cool front we spotted a Citroen Visa campervan conversion, amazed anyone could lie down in that for a nights sleep!!
