A friend sent this to me, any idea what kind of car this is? It looks like it's RHD, doesn't it?

Citroen DS-series (from France), the last style with double headlights built from roughly 1967/68 to the end of the production run in 1975 I think.

I think they made some of them in RHD for the U.K. market.
 
They did indeed produce them in right hand drive for the UK market. I have always wanted one of these, absolutely gorgeous, and very advanced. I believe that some early cars may have been built in Slough, in England. If you have ever watched "Rugrats", Tommy's father Stu drives one.

They sold em RHD in Oz too, the hydro pneumatic suspension they use must still be one of the most advanced ever thought of, short of computer controled exotica.
 
Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. Found this site. It has some other info.

The DS Citroens are sometimes called the Goddess by those who love them. It's a pun on the name. In French, DS is pronounce Day Ess, which sounds like, deesse, which is French for goddess.
