EK Blonde or Ecaille Blonde?

I've posted these before but given the current theme, worthy of a revisit. Given the rarity of the colour, decent pics are hard to find..

Not only is that nice, there's an R10, 2 x CX wagons an early 2cv and a r5 in the background!

..Madge from what I've gleaned in this thread is quite fickle, for the most part she appears to have good taste seen with DS19s the last of the DS automatics and everything in between

Definately BVH... she married into money as you may recall...

Speaking of which.... Madge and Bruce enjoy a day out with the children...

Wow, I hadn't realised the bowling clubs were so well patronised, that car park is full.
Not a Standard Vanguard in sight either, such a disappointment

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

No Vangaurds or EJ's. Clearly someone should enlighten those poor Europeans.

A pretty colour for FrankenD, but does he get a bolt on each front guard behind the wheel???

 

[fritzelhund]

David, I think I am on your wavelength. Will the suture lines be real paint or just decals ?????

 

[richo]

Probably a petanque pitch.

There is a very odd grille at the bottom of each front wing, from a Fiat or something similar, perhaps bolts could be mounted somewhere.

I've covered the metal suture lines, they were in the front valance. Thanks for the idea fritzelhund. Across a corner of the windscreen maybe.

I think the M26 bolt goes through the bowls hat that sits on the rear parcel shelf?

What a gas!

Sorry to hark back to page 14 of this illustrious thread, but as some may know or will now know, this car (with its new owner in/from Tasmania) will be taking part in this year's Peking to Paris event. Interestingly, the DS 23 will be the youngest car of the bunch.

Some South African delight.

I don't see BVH cars come up very often in South Africa, but this one looks a dream. Real leather as well, very nice.

Some more archival DS pics

Beautiful local car that was a great low mileage 5 speed originally from Country South Australia, by the boarder with Victoria.

Very, very tidy. Brun Scarabee?
Your usual quality of image too, lovely. Thanks for sharing that one.

Tell me, finely furred f(r)iend, just who is boarding with Victoria and is Victoria a good girl? :wink2:

cheers,

Victoria took Estelle in whilst Estelle was still quite young, the locals never thought twice about it. It wasn't until much later that their relationship attracted the ire of the somewhat conservative local community. Until now boarding opportunities in country South Australia have been scant for women who prefer the company of women!

Ahh, I've always loved scant. Memories are made of this :wink2:

65? for a DS21? Transition year was 66. Non?

Bleu Platine

Some of these should be familiar to the Victorian contingent.
