1971 Citroën ID20

Strong points

  • In the hands of the current owner for over 15 years
  • Excellent condition, no rust
  • 7-seater configuration, 8-seater registration document
  • Unique chassis modification (former ambulance)


Plus points

The design of Citroën's mid-century models is worthy of an art gallery. With innovative design at the heart of their DNA, the DS and ID were futuristic, saucer-shaped pieces that defied the more conservative styles of its European competitors. The result of a bold enterprise, aided by a host of technical innovations, the DS and ID were models of perfection. To this day, the model is considered one of the most important French cars in history.

This particular example from 1971 is reported to be a former ambulance, and has been in the possession of the current owner for over 15 years, and has since been transformed into a 7-seater configuration. The result is a particularly spacious estate version, rarer than the saloon versions and still remarkably ahead of its time.

Painted White with a Red interior, this estate is an elegant and practical classic that offers you an excellent opportunity to own such an attractive vehicle.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
€0 to €9,999 €100.00
€10,000 to €49,999 €250.00
€50,000 to €99,999 €500.00
€100,000 + €1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
