The car shown here first is Greg's 1991 model, Silver/Grey, SAJDWATL3AA201502. It is fully optioned with grey interior, travelled 47,000 miles approx.
This car was the overall concours winner of the DLOC 2005 meeting of Western Australia:

Sleeping Beauties   

With a collection like this, certain details become visible that otherwise stay unnoticed. An example of this is a nice personal touch that they have observed with most DS420s assembled in the eighties: the timber underneath the rear seats has been signed and dated by assembly staff such as Albert, Eddie and Frank. One wonders what these people are up to now?
