New old stock Bonnet for the DS

After my unfortunate DS crash I was able to locate a new old stock bonnet for my DS.   The bonnet for the DS is aluminium which makes repairing the current bonnet rather difficult.  I have heard that at least in 1955, this was the largest single aluminium panel on a car, but I don’t know if this true or not.   I can attest to how light the bonnet is.

I doubt there are many of these left in the world, let alone in Sydney.   I was even able to borrow a Berlingo with 500,000km on its original clutch to transport it!   This worked out really well as I was worried about a deliver driver damaging the fragile bonnet getting it to me.
