A Super5 again, owned by Kees, a Dutch
classic car amateur stationed in Bangkok. It
participated to a local rallye in 2006.
 
Kees, a medical doctor working for UNICEF
and stationed in Thailand after assignments
in Cambodia, Bhutan and the Maldives,
likes cars, he also drives a VW Beetle and a
Jaguar  E-Type for instance.
He found this DS via the Classic Car Club of
Thailand website, and knows not much of
the car's history. According to the serial
number it is a 1973 DSuper5, the successor
of the ID but with a DS21 engine and a
5-gear box.   
In 2006 Kees' DS was the first classic car to
participate to the "Puzzelrit", a rallye
organised every year since 1958 by the
Nederlandse Vereniging in Thailand (The
Dutch Society in Thailand) in the outskirts of
Bangkok.  
The "Puzzelrit" report, and pictures of Kees' other
cars, are on his personal site. The DS also appears
in the March 2007 edition of "Grand Prix", a thai car
magazine !
