Fabrice Mattei, a Frenchman living in Bangkok, is a true Citroen fanatic, and he has an
impressive collection, which currently includes a Traction Avant, a pair of 2CVs, and a DS.
And no ordinary DS: she is a beauty contest prize-winner.
impressive collection, which currently includes a Traction Avant, a pair of 2CVs, and a DS.
And no ordinary DS: she is a beauty contest prize-winner.
Fabrice, who has been living in Malaysia and Thailand for over 10 years, says he inherited the
Citroen virus from his grand-father. He first bought a Traction in 1999, which won several
prizes in classic car contests, then a DS in 2002, followed by two 2CVs. For the moment he
does not have plans to add to his collection of classic Citroens, but who knows...
The 1971 DS21 Pallas belonged to a Thai diplomat who used it only occasionally; the car has
only 68,000 kms, and Fabrice regularly uses it. In 2004 it won the 2nd prize in a contest
organized by the Vintage Car Club of Thailand.
Speaking of clubs, Fabrice's cars are shown on the webpage of the Citroen Club of Thailand,
under the brand's history. Link (thai):
