The Attractions

The Citroën DS, unlike any other car before or since, was a veritable sampler of technological innovations on four wheels. Innovative techniques created a car unlike any other that offered a magic carpet-like travelling experience.

This DSpecial was built in the last years of its life and has an interesting history. It has only had four owners in its 51 years - two of them from the same family - and the low mileage of 63,000 km is believed to be genuine. The car was restored in 2018 and used for weddings for a couple of years before being garaged due to lockdowns for COVID. It could benefit from some slight improvements - already estimated at €1,500 - or it could simply be used and enjoyed as is.
