The Appeal

The Citroën DS remains one of the biggest trailblazers in history. Loaded with technology that was remarkable for its time and still clocks in pretty impressively today, these atomic-age cars were only accented further by their beautiful styling and affable character. It's little wonder they garner so much attention from enthusiasts today.

This particular 1968 model has undergone plenty of work, resulting in a pleasantly presented and eminently drivable classic. With a full bare metal respray and a completely new interior, this is a deeply handsome example of a highly desirable car. The engine head has been rebuilt to unleaded specification, and new main spheres and brakes have been installed, to boot.

It's often been said that the DS is one of those cars you simply have to drive to believe, and we expect this example will be a very rewarding classic.
