Le tracteur, je sais pas... Mais ce tableau de bord, c'est celui d'une DS. Bon, ça, d'accord; mais d'origine Slough ou bricolé?

I'd say that it is the factory where the DS dashboard was made

are you sure it is a genuine DS dashboard?... if it is, that's a good info! :)
About Slough, it was a Citroen factory in UK, but I've never been sure it had produced the DS?... I don't know when Citroen have closed it (up to me late fifties...) If anyone have an idea, it would be good

Bon maintenant que le tableau de bord est identifié, il reste le tracteur, les bidons jaune et le bâtiment.

The UK Citroëns made in Slough were produced from 1926 and 1966.

I just checked the book 'The British Citroën':
The factory was opened on February 18th, 1926 and closed on the same day 40 years later, February 18th, 1966. The last car was a DS21 Pallas.

Le bidon jaune, c'est une sulfateuse, mais comment cela ce dit en anglais. Là je ne suis vraiment pas dans ma spécialité :lol:

Merci pour l'info! Je savais que les Citroën Made in Slough étaient nettement mieux finies que celles sortant du Quai de Javel (au fait: l'aspirant habite Javel...), mais je n'avais jamais encore vu une phoito de tableau de dord de DS "Slough"!
Comme quoi il n'y a pas d'âge pour apprendre!
