The Appeal
The Citroën ID19 was the more accessible version of the revolutionary DS, offering the same avant-garde styling and innovative hydropneumatic suspension system that made these vehicles decades ahead of their time. This 1969 example is offered in smart condition for its age following a comprehensive restoration carried out by a former Citroën specialist, who completely disassembled the vehicle to address every aspect of its condition.
This ID19 has had just two registered keepers from new, originally sold in Portugal, where it has remained throughout its life. The car benefits from a thorough restoration completed five years ago, with particular attention paid to eliminating corrosion through specialist underbody refinishing. The interior has been sympathetically restored with leather upholstery while maintaining the original colour scheme. With its Classic Car Certification from the Portuguese Classic Car Club, this ID19 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored example of Citroën's iconic design.
