Citroën DS23 Safari, 1974. Citroën used the Safari model name for their large estates on right hand drive markets. In the English-speaking UK, Australian and New Zealand markets the French term "Break" for station wagons didn't work well. Safari was used for both DS and CX wagons

A brief appreciation post for this stately lad before they’re off again; this is my 1975 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II. It’s a right-hand drive import from England and has been living the bulk of its life here in the USA.

The car was brought over in 1986 and had considerable refinishing and refurbishment work done at approximately 42,000 miles, including refinishing on the paint, undercarriage, engine/transmission/brakes/suspension, trim, and other major areas.

It has seen at least a couple mechanical overhauls in the past few years, but with much of its life being spent sitting in a collection, it’s feeling the ill effects of deterioration.

It recently began emitting blue smoke - a telltale sign of oil seeping into the combustion chambers and burning off while running and driving. The carburetors are well-tuned and jetted appropriately, it starts nearly immediately on cold cranks, and it runs smoothly and confidently, but it’s very possible valve seals may have started to go, resulting in this oil burn.

Though the oil level on the dipstick remains steady, the oil burn on cold start was enough to smoke out a garage and driveway when the temperature dropped to 14°C, and only really cleared up after reaching operating temperature 20-30 minutes later - not a good sign. There is a slight rap in the engine after multiple runs with a burn at startup, so there is definitely cause for worry where oiling and lubrication are concerned.

The primary braking circuit - a complex hydraulic/mineral oil dual-circuit system from Citroën - appears to be in some state of slow failure. The braking reservoirs share an additional circuit with the self-leveling suspension (as was common in Citroën luxury cars of the era), and we’re attempting to trace the root cause of the failure to determine if brakes or suspension are the culprit.

Typically, the suspensions aren’t the biggest concern. More often, it’s the dual-circuit brakes that require fairly constant maintenance. And, after running the brake pressure and accumulator test, there is a definite possibility that the system will need an overhaul in the coming couple years. The good news is that there have been recent maintenance indicators of the accumulators being replaced and/or serviced in the past year, so this may be down to hoses and lines and seals.

For Rolls-Royce to take care of maintenance like this, it would not be unreasonable to expect ~$6,900 on brake services, and perhaps and additional ~$8,500 on engine work and labor, so it’s definitely not an easy feat.

Beyond those hiccups, however, it’s a nicely sorted example, with all of the major components still being in a fully functional state. It has a lovely record of all history and maintenance tracing back to its original owner, and has been beautifully preserved as part of a collection of 75+ cars for some time. This sat alongside multiple Rolls, Bentley, Jaguar, Packard, Cord, Alfa, and other stunning vehicles.

The unfortunate reality is that these cars - as counterintuitive as it may seem - absolutely beg to be driven. They really do their absolute best when they’re soaking up the roads and racking up the miles. A well-sorted Rolls-Royce or Bentley from this time with well over 100,000 or 200,000 miles may very well be a smarter buy than lower mileage examples like these, that have only done an average of 1,500 to 1,700 miles/yr over the last 49 years.

But, for everything they’re worth, they are absolutely brilliant to drive, incredible to experience, and lovely to live with. They’re safer than most classics, and they’re operationally very similar to many modern cars, with plenty of amenities from then that are universal now. Of course, they still ride better than most other cars on the road, and they do an excellent job of isolating occupants from the outside, so there are still certainly some perks to driving these aging beasts.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there really is an allure to retro, vintage, and antique automotive design, especially with a vehicle like this. Though it’s 6 3/4L V8 may only make 189 HP, this vehicle surges with the force of an unladen ocean liner, wafting down the road with authority and poise, and striking an imposing image in the rear view of all passerby.

There is a mystique to these carriages of the gentry from bygone eras of wealth and opulence long forgotten, and there is this indelible sense of occasion when behind the wheel or while being driven.

While this yacht of sorts really does have its acquired tastes, I hope you can appreciate its preservation and charm as much as I do! Take care!
