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 the 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 done at 90%. Not being
able to use the car now, he does feel desperate at times, but his spirits are lifted when he sees
the car, and can not help but think "how bloody beautiful you are..."
