The Citroën DS Décapotable was withdrawn from sale in the UK in 1967. In mainland Europe, the same model remained on sale until 1972; yet the DS Safari - the model on which the Décapotable was based - was manufactured until 1975.
Why had the production of the Décapotable been halted prematurely? Without a satisfactory answer, the author, Stuart Ager, resolved to find out for himself.
Little did he expect a story about a car to include topics as diverse as Chaos Theory, Doctor Who, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, the significance of French presidential limousines, Peter Cook, the beginnings of the EEC, Gerry Anderson, Cold War tensions, film censorship, J.G. Ballard, The Beatles, Ralph Nader, North American aggression, French grandeur, British decay, Common Market politicking, industrial rival … and Katie Price.
Citroën DS Décapotable: Eclipse of the Sun-Goddess has 190 pages, about 150 mainly colour illustrations. Text in English.
