Classic & Sports Car magazine have polled a 20-strong panel as the jury to decide the single most beautiful classic car.
And the winner ...
The Citro�n DS!
James Elliott, editor of Classic & Sports Car, said: �The Citro�n is a benchmark design, but we were still astonished that it came out on top when you look at the sexiness � and values � of some of its rivals. Apart from the Mini, it�s by far the most affordable car to get any nominations at all, which probably means it�s a great investment!
Giorgetto Giugiaro - the man behind the Maserati Bora, VW Golf, Fiat Panda and Lotus Esprit, said: �The only example of a car really conceived �outside the box�. It is just impossible to imitate.�

Check out these fantastic Citro�n DS books published by Veloce:
Citro�n DS � Design Icon
by Malcolm Bobbitt.
The most radical of Citro�n�s idiosyncratic offerings, the DS was sensational when it was introduced in 1955. Twenty years and 1.45 million cars later it was still technically advanced to most other cars. Revolutionary in driving characteristics and comfort, it remains one of the most innovative cars of all time. Click here for more info about the book!
