The DS is remembered not only for its elegance but for its incredibly futuristic design. The fact that it was also a very successful rally car has, regrettably, been almost forgotten.

Major successes include wins in the 1959 Rallye Monte-Carlo, the 1962 1000 Lakes (as the Rally Finland was then known) and, controversially, the 1966 Monte.

Another DS, driven by Lucien Bianchi and Jean-Claude Ogier, was comfortably leading the 1968 London-Sydney Marathon when it was all-but destroyed in a collision with a non-competing car on what was supposed to be a closed section of road less than 100 miles from the end of the 10,000-mile route.

Ogier was later quoted as saying that he felt this was an act of sabotage, but “we did not make any more of it, because that would not have been useful”.
