This is a short video of a drive around Citroëns secret test track at La Ferté - Vidame, France in George Antonious beautiful DS EFI Hydraulique.
Part of Citroëns centenary celebrations 19th -21st July 2019.


Love this short film... la 2CV fait son cinéma la bride sur le cou.


Some nice footage showing the Citroën factory at Javel where the DS was manufactured, in particular it shows the 1,000,000th DS coming off the production line.


This is the first start up after over 2 years with new starter motor fitted.


I know she sounds like and old black cab, this is the timing chain rattling. If you notice there is no camshaft pulley fitted hence no load on the chain, when all the auxiliary equipment is refitted, alternator, hp pump, water pump etc, it will sound a lot better.

This is the second start up 361 days later.

 
Sounds much better and looking good, didn't run the engine for too long as there was no coolant in it. Radiator to go on next, coolant in and check for leaks!
