"Minty" is a right-hand drive, semi-automatic gearbox, DS23 Pallas. It has had a full technical restoration covering all mechanical and hydraulic systems. The interior is replaced with correct coverings as is dashboard and instruments. To foster anxiety-free driving at all times in all weathers the paint was not renewed, but is in good condition. It still looks great at a couple of paces away, especially with a polish! Decorating the car for your occasion is allowable if required.

The DS23 features the famous ride quality that these cars are well known for, which was the primary reason for my purchasing of this car in the first place. Combined with a unique semi-automatic hydraulic gear-change and sure footed roadholding, it is a ride to remember. It has a character of its own, especially off highway on secondary roads.
The visibility out of the cabin is excellent. Rear seatbelts are hidden from view due to the lack of a legal requirement for them in just ask and they will be made available. Front seats do have normal retractable reel belts. The car was designed to carry 5 people, 3 on the backseat. 2 on the backseat is much more realistic.

Self-drive hire is not generally available at this time. If asked for and agreed to, the driver and will need to be briefed and undergo a practical lesson in driving the car to my satisfaction - there is no ABS, ESC, or any computer chips running this car at all and 'The Driver' needs to be fully cognisant in their task. If the intended driver has experience with classic, vintage or veteran cars, driving this car would not be a problem. The ability to use left foot braking in a confined space can be useful for very very steep hill starts. The clutch is a normal manual clutch but is NOT operated by the driver - it is semi-automatic and actuated by hydraulic solenoids and vacuum pressure. the parking brake is also foot operated.
