caption_attribution_description: English: This is a lightened and slightly rotated version of an image already uploaded to wikipedia. I think it's an improvement, but the shortage of lighting for what was an indoor picture and the weird reflections along the car's flank mean that this will never be a perfect "portrait-picture" of a DS IMHO. (Feel free to prove me wrong...)
context_page_description: The British International Motor Show was an annual motor show held by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders between 1903 and 2008 in England.
  Initially held in London at The Crystal Palace, Olympia and then the Earls Court Exhibition Centre, it moved to the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham in 1978, where it stayed until 2004. It was held at ExCeL London in 2006 and 2008.
  The 2010 and 2012 events were cancelled due to the global financial crisis. An alternative London Motor Show operated from 2016-2019 and returns in 2021
context_section_description: The cars listed are those announced in the late summer lead up to the show or during it. Manufacturers did announce other cars at times to suit them and as that practice grew the public lost interest and the motor show finished its long run in the middle of the 1970s.
