Third make-up-inspired Citroen DS3 revealed

THERE'S not a lot that the two disciplines of circuit racing and applying make-up have in common, but Citroen and Benefit decided to change all that ahead of this weekend's Silverstone Grand Prix.

It is the first time the price has dipped below £9,000 since the company started tracking the market in January 2010.
