1967 Citroën ID19 | Essex

A 1967 Citroën ID19, the more affordable sibling in the DS family. It shares the DS's long, low body and self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension, so it sits level and rides softly. Its shape sets it apart from other 1960s saloons. This car is grey with a red velour interior, in excellent condition. It was built in Paris in 1967 and has spent its whole life in Toulouse. The cabin is roomy, with space to move around and set up during a shoot. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side and the front passenger steps out into the road, which also gives it a continental look on screen. The long, low body gives photography and editorial shoots clean lines, and the 1960s character suits period film and TV and music videos. At events the design draws the eye as a display piece. Weddings and personal hires also suit its soft ride. The car is based in Essex.
