Description
We’re offering you a superb 10/ 1971 DS 20 PALLAS, hydraulic gearbox, fully restored by us in 2024,
Full restoration: mechanical, bodywork and upholstery.
Taken out of a shed after a long spell in dormancy, sheltered from damp, it slowly came back to life in our hands day after day over several months. We stripped it down, inspected it, restored it and lavished it with care and passion, with love and professionalism—we put everything best of ourselves into this car…..
Getting it back on the road took time, but what a result—pure pleasure. The DS remains an exceptional car to this day: comfort and power. Even though it isn’t the most powerful model in the range, the hydraulic suspension still delivers unmatched comfort……
A lover of the chevron brand since I was very young, I had an immense pleasure restoring this car—it’s a bit like my baby……
ENGINE: Complete rebuild—liners/ pistons, bearings, all gaskets, cylinder head skimming and pressure-testing, camshaft/ valve seating running-in, clutch, everything you can think of……
HYDRAULICS: Refurbishment of the hydraulic system: all return pipes, spheres, front and rear “cafetières”…
BODYWORK: Bodywork fully reworked; the rear boot crossmember and the wheel-arch area are replaced (due to corrosion). No other corrosion points. Light anti-stone-chip treatment underneath (no thick black coating).
UPHOLSTERY: Complete restoration of the upholstery—seats, carpets, door panels, boot trim—everything is new……
You can see the full scope of the restoration on our FB, GARAGE GALLINA, DS album.

Feel free to contact us for more information—and above all, don’t hesitate to come and see it, admire it, and even take it for a test drive……
