The Appeal

This 1975 Citroën GS Club forms part of the carefully curated Blaauwbank Collection, which includes an eclectic mix of multi-generational cars, stored in purpose-built, climate-controlled dry-storage hangars in the arid climate of Central South Africa.

The GS was a landmark in automotive engineering, bringing hydropneumatic suspension, a flat-four engine, and aerodynamic styling to the family car segment. Winner of the 1971 European Car of the Year, it remains one of the most technically sophisticated small cars of its era. Finding one in good, original condition today is an increasingly difficult proposition.

This 1975 GS Club 1220 is a South African survivor, having spent its life in a dry climate that has helped preserve its bodywork. Finished in bright yellow over the original light tobacco interior, it presents a handsome period-correct combination. The vendor states it drives impeccably, with the hydropneumatic suspension functioning as intended on all three settings. With just one former registered keeper, this is described as a well-cared-for example.
