Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Iconic Citroën DS 21 Pallas Semi-Automatic from 1971 in the coveted color Palladium Gris
• Powered by the powerful 2.1-liter 106 hp carbureted engine linked to the well-known semi-automatic five-speed gearbox
• Original chocolate brown leather interior combined with a low indicated mileage of 51,969 km
• Exceptionally rich documentation: including the original French purchase invoice from Paris (1971) and maintenance history
• Equipped with the Pallas luxury specification, hydropneumatic suspension, sliding roof and a tow hitch
HISTORY & OVERVIEW:
The Citroën DS, presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1955, is regarded as one of the most avant-garde and streamlined designs in automotive history. Thanks to the revolutionary hydropneumatic suspension system, the model offers legendary and floating driving comfort. The 'Pallas' version formed the absolute top of the range, recognizable by extra chrome accents, high sound insulation and more luxurious finishing details. This particular example is a DS 21 Pallas originally delivered new in Paris (France) in 1971. The car was later imported into the Netherlands and given a Dutch license plate. What is notable about this vehicle is that the original purchase invoice from 1971 has been preserved, along with the subsequent maintenance history.
EXTERIOR:
The bodywork is finished in the classic and sought-after factory color Palladium Gris. The chrome trim is in good condition. The car is equipped with a sliding sunroof (waterproof, currently not functional) and a tow hitch. The paint shows attention points at various spots and the body shows light surface rust/spot rust in specific areas, which offers the opportunity to perfect the exterior to your taste.
INTERIOR:
The interior is in a neat, used condition with original chocolate brown leather. The front seats are in good condition, while the rear bench shows visible damage. The dashboard and instrument panel are fully present.
ENGINE AND TECHNICAL:
Under the hood is the 2.1-liter (2,175 cc) naturally aspirated four-cylinder carbureted engine with a power output of 106 hp, paired to the characteristic semi-automatic 4-speed gearbox. The engine runs smoothly and the gearbox and brakes function properly. The well-known hydropneumatic suspension provides the characteristic smooth ride.
DOCUMENTS:
The Citroën has a Dutch license plate and the accompanying registration documents. Also present is the historical maintenance history, as well as the unique original French purchase invoice from the first owner in Paris from 1971.
