Original, matching numbers 2,175 cc engine, certified by Citroën
Repainted in official Citroën colour AC308 'Amber Gold'
The Appeal
Citroën's innovative DS challenged just about every norm in car design and is often cited as the greatest quantum leap in automotive technology we've ever witnessed. These complex and unusual-looking cars remain ever-popular among enthusiasts and we're delighted to offer this well-restored example from 1966.
This matching numbers DS 21 has been recently restored by a Citroën specialist and converted from (red) LHS to the far superior (green) LHM fluid. Besides the fully rebuilt mechanicals, the bodywork too has undergone full restoration to a high standard and refinished in the official Citroën colour AC308 'Amber Gold'. The interior too is in lovely order having been retrimmed to a high standard.
For those seeking a DS that's ready to go, this one is surely very tempting...
