AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Citroën DS23 Pallas Automatique Borg Warner was built in January 1973 at the Citroën factory 'Quai de Javel' in Paris. The car was originally delivered in the Netherlands in 1973, and since then, it has been owned by one family.
Exterior
The Pallas edition adds an extra dimension of luxury and style, with high-quality materials and comfort options that make the DS 21 unique in its class. From the soft, spacious interior to the refined details.
Typical features of this Pallas edition: everything exudes the atmosphere of craftsmanship and French elegance.
Over the years, the family has not only technically revised the car but also restored it.
The sheet metal is nicely thin, and the fitments are correct. The car has been completely repainted in the color AC421 'Rouge Bordeaux' and still looks very good. The bodywork has been fitted with a new coat of paint both inside and out. Subsequently, the DS has been reassembled with new window and sealing rubbers. The sunroof is not operational.
The underside of the Citroën is in good condition. The supporting part has been serviced in the past.
The trim parts are made of stainless steel and chrome. The condition of the trim parts can be described as good. Over the years, the car has acquired minimal signs of use.
Motor:
Original only 69,040 km with National Autopass Certificate.
The engine is a 2.3-liter carbureted four-cylinder inline engine producing 110 hp, and in this case, it is paired with the rare fully automatic transmission from Borgwarner. It is also equipped with a Weber carburetor and an LPG system. The suspension has been completely overhauled during the restoration, with several parts replaced with new ones.
Interior
The interior is entirely original.
The leather interior is black in color. The overall condition is good. The authentic interior is free from serious damages and does show the necessary patina.
The seats, rear seat, and door panels are in original condition, and the beautiful fine leather smells wonderful.
The carpets are still original and still have the original ceiling. The seat belts are still the originals. The instruments and controls all look well maintained and are also completely original. As a result, the interior of the DS has a beautiful appearance.
Furthermore, the DS has the following options:
Rear seat heating, automatic transmission, leather upholstery, Jaeger instruments, rear center armrest, front center armrest, brake assist, power steering, hydropneumatic suspension with level control, wheel covers, Jaeger clock, sun visors, bumper protectors, left and right exterior mirrors, manually operated sunroof (not functional), and a trailer hitch.
The vehicle is of original Dutch origin. The Citroën is for the second time in the possession of the same family.
The DS was deregistered in 2017; an appraisal report is available.
