Seller's comments about 1970' Citroen DS

This car started life in the UK and then went to South Africa, then to Cyprus. It was brought back to the UK in 2015 and purchased by the previous owner to recommission. It was in dry storage whilst he completed another car and sadly he died at the beginning of this year. I bought it, together with several spares, from his estate intending to get it back on the road and use it regularly. The engine in the car is seized but I have a spare engine with it which I was going to swap. The body is in remarkably good condition and the interior is excellent. The boot floor isn't too bad but needs some tidying - the main crossmember is excellent. The rear panel where the boot lid shuts needs some work but I have a new rear panel, together with several other spare parts. I've made a start on removing the radiator etc in readiness for engine swap but have recently found out that I have arthritis in my lower spine so I think it's a bit much for me to tackle now - sadly I've decided to sell it. It really won't take much work to sort out and since it's spent most of it's life in dry climates is in very good condition compared to many that I looked at before buying this one.
