The Appeal
Recognised as one of the most legendary cars in Citroën's history, the DS was revolutionary when it was launched and remains so today. Featuring innovative technology and futuristic design, the space car's lines made it a legendary car from the golden age of motoring.
This example of the DS23 Pallas - the most powerful in the model's production history - has been extensively restored by a renowned Citroën specialist, returning the car to its bare chassis and completely rebuilding it to an impressive level of detail. The engine, gearbox and entire interior were rebuilt or replaced.
Over €43,000 was spent to restore this remarkable DS 23 Pallas to 'factory new' condition, and the car presented here is an absolutely remarkable example of one of the great classics of European motoring history.
