[Multi] Citroën DS

(Photo taken in Great Britain by St33ly)

This Citroën DS has been abandoned in a barn of a farm in Great Britain, along with many other classic cars. If you want to see cars like a Triumph 1200, two Vanden Plas 1100 or a VW Beetle covered in moss, I recommend a visit to St33ly's Photostream on Flickr. For another photo of the DS shown above, click here.
Update 16.3.13: The cars in the picture above have obviously been vandalized, as you will notice in this picture.
The Citroën DS, famous for its elegant design and the innovative hydropneumatic suspension, is a popular classic nowadays. It has many fans around the world willing to pay high prices for a good example of the "goddess" (from the French pronounciation of the name: "Déesse"). These fans have to be strong now, as not all 1,5 million examples built by Citroën have always been loved by their owners and I have collected some of those that weren't.
As usual, you can click all photos for higher resolutions.

Citroën CX Break

This Citroën CX Break is obviously completely lost. Standing in the middle of bushes, it is rusting away and many parts are missing.
The CX, which was produced from 1974 to 1991, was sold more than 1 million times.
The Break (estate-version) was introduced in 1976 and made up a big part in the sale numbers. It was also available with 8 seats.
But as many of these cars have been scrapped, you can almost call the CX rare and extremely good examples can cost 20000€ now.
When it was new, the Break looked like that:
