Channel 4’s *Kevin McCloud’s Classic Car Road Trips* earns three stars as the presenter explores the French Riviera in a classic Citroën DS convertible
Kevin McCloud approaches the celebrated car less like a machine to be raced and more like a work of art, admiring its elegant lines and floating suspension
After a breakdown in Monaco, he tackles an unusual steering-column gear lever and unfamiliar controls
The pace occasionally feels leisurely, but visits to Biot, design students and an art-filled restaurant add interest
Testing the suspension while drinking coffee proves impressively, and improbably, spill-free.
