Here we have an Italian DS, modified to run on LPG, in Bangkok ? Yes... Alvaro missed la
bella so much that he decided to bring her to Thailand with him, back in 1988. After all these
years, and in spite of countless difficulties, they still live together.
Alvaro moved to Thailand in 1986, and imported the car from Italy two years later. It is a 1972
DSuper5, in Alvaro's family for quite a while, his father having purchased it around 1978 . The
engine has been modified to allow use of LPG, which is virtually not available in Thailand.
Recently Alvaro has undertaken a full overhaul, and estimates the job is 90% complete. Not
being able to use the car now, he says he feels desperate at times, but his spirits are lifted
when he sees the car, and cannot help but think "how bloody beautiful you are..."
