Primrose Godess: 1971 Citroën DS21

How much could it really cost to keep this classic Citroën on the road? Assume you live in a location where MOT (Ministry of Tribulations) inspections and smog requirements are nil — how hard would it be to get this car to the point where you could drive it to work on Fridays? Could you keep the rusting sheet metal, introuvable o-rings, questionable electrics, and leaking balls at bay? Could a mécanicien amateur maintain this car without being sent to the Arkham Asylum? Or would you be “le Joker” in months? Find this 1971 Citroën DS21 offered for $10,500 in Lebanon, NJ via hemmings.com. Tip from Hugh.
