Citroen Goddess (DS19) 1:87 - * resolved - found one *

[47137]

I want to represent a Parisian taxi around 1960, in 1:87 scale.

 

The Busch 48014 'Citroen DS19 Taxi' would be ideal, but the prototype had a simple black livery so I could repaint a different model. I'm trying to track down a model located in the UK, to keep the postage costs down.

 

Really, any model DS19 in H0 scale would be fine.

No use to you, but yesterday I happened to re-watch The Day of the Jackal. It hasn't aged terribly well but it's a nostalgic watch, including a vast banquet of gorgeous DSs in pretty much every outdoor scene. No car has ever looked more beautiful.

I enjoyed the film, screened on the BBC one afternoon many years ago. The only time I wrote a complaint to the BBC. I told them the film was unsuitable for pre-watershed viewing; I got a reply to tell me the standards for a 15 certificate film have changed over the years. Indeed they have.

 

Anyway - I've found a red Busch DS19 for sale in the UK, it had a mis-spelt description (Citreon). Good.
