Laos
A prestige again ! And from the Royal family again ! It's starting to look like a local speciality.
Or else, Laos may very well be the country with the highest number of Prestige per inhabitant
in the world ? This one has been found by Manuel Boileau, a young Frenchman currently
travelling around the world in a DS.

The owner does not want to sell it, because he thinks he may want to repair it some day; he is
also probably well aware of its value... The Prestige version, with the glass separation
between the two rows of seats, was made especially for heads of states and other VIPs, and
the total production reached no more than about 500 cars (out of 1.4 million DS !), so it
definitely has some kind of value. Moreover, this car, which can be dated between 1967 and
1970, may (or may not..) have belonged indeed to the Royal family.

Manuel Boileau is currently taking his 1971 estate DS, especially transformed from an
ambulance version, for a world tour, no less ! He already crossed Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India,
Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, from where he crossed the Pacific over to
Canada. He created an association, Lunaya, to support his project. Link to his site (French):
