With the screen, scuttle and dash out, that panel can theoretically be replaced, it's bonded into a channel in the firewall.

There are certain insurance companies that are refusing to insure anyone over 70 now. Or quoting such a ridiculously high price that they know won't be accepted.
My Dad is 87 next, rand LV today for a quote & they have refused to insure him. Not sure who he's insured with at the moment, but they've quoted him £1720 for his Chrysler Grande Voyager!
The very young and the very old are always given a kicking when it comes to insurance.

Google says 1967 so I was a bit early
without Googling it .... I thought the swivel headlight DSs came with the later larger DS21 type double headlight .... earlier DSs had a single round headlight.Yep, nice looking car.
It will be interesting to see how you get on with it over time.
What headlights do you have? I am unimpressed withmy bi xenons. I guess LEDs are the go to now.
It's got Bi-xenons that go round corners for some reason, How I've managed all these years going round corners I don't know..
The DS had them in the 70s
I think it was mid 50s that the DS got them !

Merc drivers. All of them. Retards.
I can only assume the stupid handbrake pedal confuddles their drivers. Not seen a single Merc get over 25mph in NSL all day, FFS.
On the upside, Tesco Pay at Pump is now £120Indeed. When fuel was at its highest price, £100 wasn't much more than 1/2 a tank on the ML (93 litre tank so when I'd wanted a full tank I tried a 2nd fill at the same pump .... it wouldn't let me.
