With the prize for the 'Best Live Stand Demonstration' at "Practical Classics Restoration Show 2026" going to the Citroen Car Club for their live demonstration of the Citroen DS Hydropneumatic suspension, Andrew and I needed to find out more. The solution was to talk to legend of the club, Nigel Wild.
The key to a successful demonstration at the NEC is making it accessible to the audience. Nigel can get an explanation of the difference between constant spring rate and infinitely rising spring rate across to Andrew and myself so well that we will think we have an engineering degree!
We also discover the cars from other manufacturers that have been influenced by Citroen and find out what car Alex Moulton drove.
How about restoring a bus? Easier than you might think! We take a look at the Boris Routemaster and compare it to the original and learn about the design and engineering that made them so fit for purpose.
Do we need to fix Stellantis? Are there reminders of British Leyland? Should we be worried? And where do the Chinese fit in?
All will be revealed...
