"A Citroën DS Tissier at the Stadtpark Revival in Hamburg. This vehicle was built in 1976 by Tissier for a french automobile club and were based on a 1970 Citroën DS. Originally 35 of these vehicles with 4-doors and 4 axles were built, today only 3 are left. This one was found on a scrapyard in southern france. Just like the regular DS this vehicle has a hydropneumatic suspension. But unlike the regular DS it can lower the front and back independently so there are no extra ramps necessary for loading and unloading a car. Its maximum speed is 170km/h."

Yea there are plenty of 850 variants, 700/900 variants, I've seen on Facebook over the years. I'll dig some up later today. I don't think any are in N America, and also I don't know if they're factory or talented 3rd party garage DIY'ers.
