The Appeal

The Citroën DS23 IE pairs the 2.3-litre electronic fuel-injected engine with a five-speed manual gearbox, representing one of the final evolutions of the DS. This 1973 example has been in the hands of its current owner since 2020 and is reported to have undergone work on several important components, including the floor pan, wing gutters, wings and roof.

According to the information provided, the roof has been restored, new headlining has been fitted and the exterior bodywork has been repainted. Work is also reported to have been carried out on the fuel pumps and the fuel injection wiring loom. The car is said to retain its original chassis numbers.

However, it does present several defects noted by the seller, including corrosion on the left rear wing, some interior imperfections, slight play in the steering and a minor exhaust issue. These points should be taken into account during a full vehicle inspection.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also accept the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.

✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful winner of the auction or your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection before purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just as you do, which is why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and listed for sale on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not subject to a financial charge, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as a result of a total loss claim at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide write-off category markers (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. The presence or absence of a marker does not, however, guarantee the vehicle's status and it is always worthwhile to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.

✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can assist you. For further details and to speak to the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
