The Appeal

The arrival of the DS 23 Pallas Injection marked the pinnacle of the iconic DS range, introduced shortly before the CX in the early 1970s. Offering injection for enhanced performance and the luxurious Pallas finish, these late DS models are highly sought after and perfectly usable.

Our 1972 example offers the opportunity to own one of these magnificent French classics with hydraulic suspension, displaying a distinctive aerodynamic styling. This particular DS has been in the current collection since 2018 and benefits from a Havana interior, complementing its blue coachwork.

With a valid MOT until 2027, this DS offers the chance to experience the ultimate evolution of one of the most revolutionary automotive designs of the 20th century.
