Just found out what it is. It's a camera car for filming which is why it has the front extended and the wheel arches flattened.

The other evening I spied a photo of a similar DS-based contraption in C&SC, photographed I think at a French show (Retromobile possibly).

Anorak alert!It's actually the cheaper ID19,identified by the small hub caps.
Is that a jack under the front,or part of the platform?

Due to the DS's smooth suspension they used to be used for filming the horse racing for TV. Camera on top following the horses down the side of the track.
