Highlights

Reportedly, just one former registered keeper for approximately 40 years
In current ownership for approximately nine years
Used regularly, with a track record of long-distance journeys

The Appeal

Thanks to its remarkable atomic-age design and "magic-carpet ride", the DS became known as one of the most futuristic cars in history. It offered a driving experience well ahead of its time, to such an extent that it still feels like an impressive spec to this day. Half a century on, and the general public is discovering them all over again. These cars have become hot collectables, prized for their relaxed ride as readily as their head-turning appeal.

The D Super, with its 1,985cc engine, offered a more accessible entry point into DS ownership during the car's later years. It's that little bit easier to own and a dead-cert classic for the enthusiast who likes some flamboyance on the road!

This particular example is reported to have had just one French lady owner for around 40 years before the current vendor acquired it approximately nine years ago. It has been used regularly throughout that time, often covering 1,000-mile trips on holiday, which speaks to its mechanical fitness. As a left-hand drive car, it is well-suited to continental touring.
