When you think of a classic Citr\u00f6en<\/a> it\u2019s a given that you\u2019re going to jump right to the DS. However, the DS was a hugely expensive car, especially when compared to its predecessor, the Traction Avant. As such, Citr\u00f6en<\/a> had to do something to bridge the gap so as to avoid scaring customers off. Rather than build an entirely new car to slot into the middle of the model range, Citr\u00f6en instead decided to offer a base-model DS, which would go on to be known as the Citr\u00f6en ID<\/a>. It looked like a DS, but it was more basic in its construction, less luxurious in terms of trim, and it came with a smidgen less power than its DS brother. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, as the years have gone on, these \u2018poverty\u2019 specification cars have been all but forgotten, with classic enthusiasts favouring the leather-laden DS. Low-specification cars seldom survive to reach classic status given their workaday standing, which is what makes this week\u2019s classified of choice so special, because it is one of those rare ID models. Not only that, it\u2019s a Break, or estate to use the British vernacular. And now, decades on, we don\u2019t see it as being low in specification. Instead, it\u2019s a charming, simple and easy to live with classic that offers more practicality than any modern family hauler. As the seller says, this car has \u201cthe miracle of space\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Citr\u00f6en,<\/a><\/p>\n

This particular ID is a 20F model, meaning it has a 2.0 petrol engine. It also, unusually for this specification, has power steering (most IDs didn\u2019t have this). It looks to be in remarkably good condition. Rust and deep-set rot is a real problem for the DS\/ID range, as these cars can and will rot to their very core. However, this car seems to be incredibly solid and rust free. It\u2019s also pleasingly immaculate inside. The basic trim seems to be made of hardy stuff, as there\u2019s not a mark on it. It\u2019s almost showroom fresh, but then the car does only have an alleged 4,000km on the clock.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have two bench seats, meaning six can sit in comfort. But if you have extra passengers, there is further seating for two in the massive boot. And don\u2019t worry, the ID came with roof racks, so you won\u2019t lose any storage space. With the rack and empty boot, this big old Citr\u00f6en could make Pickfords sweat – vast amounts of storage are at your disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Citr\u00f6en,<\/a><\/p>\n

The vendor, who is based in Germany, proclaims that the 2.0 engine is in fine condition, it pulls well and the column-mounted gearchange is direct and light. He also states that the brakes and power steering work perfectly. Adding to this, the hydropneumatic suspension is in rude health, raising and lowering the car with a pleasing keenness and without a drop of fluid being lost in the process. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is a wonderful car, and one that despite being a classic, is remarkably hardy. You could draft this in to family use without concern. You have to remember that these cars have famously taken on terrain all around the globe without any cause for concern. This is a classic you can use, it\u2019s one that will be immensely practical and being an ID rather than a DS, it\u2019s also got a huge dollop of exclusivity going for it, too. And all for just \u00a327,969. We\u2019re willing to bet you won\u2019t find another in this condition and with this mileage. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
