Mechanically excellent
Repainted and interior retrimmed
The Appeal
The inimitable Citroën DS is one of those cars every enthusiast should experience. At launch, it caused quite a stir, challenging the automotive status quo to an incomparable extent. With styling and technology that must have seemed almost otherworldly in the period, the DS remains a much sought-after collector's car.
This wonderful example of a DS21 is in really excellent condition. Clearly very well loved by the current keeper, it has been very well looked after and maintained. Despite having been re-trimmed and re-sprayed, this car maintains a very nice original feel, a lovely example of the marque and a time capsule back to the 1970s.
