Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Citroën DS20 D Special from 1971 in recognizable 'barn find' condition
• Powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 99 hp linked to a five-speed manual gearbox
• Equipped with a tow hitch, Pallas headlights and luxurious headrests
• Original Dutch license plate and registration documents available
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
The Citroën DS, introduced in 1955 at the Paris Motor Show, is one of the most avant-garde and iconic car models in history, renowned for its aerodynamic bodywork and innovative hydropneumatic suspension. The D Special was introduced as an affordable variant within the DS range. This specific example is a DS20 D Special from 1971 with an original Dutch license plate. The car is in a used 'barn find' condition and forms a suitable basis for restoration or for a enthusiast who wants to restore the car to its former glory.
EXTERIOR:
The bodywork has original sheet metal, but shows clear rust formation around. The paint and bodywork require attention and restoration at several points. The underside requires welding work. The car is fitted with Pallas headlights, a tow hitch and the existing chrome trim looks good.
INTERIOR:
The interior is in used condition. The front seats show clear signs of use. Furthermore, the interior is equipped with luxurious headrests.
ENGINE AND TECHNICAL:
The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 99 hp and is paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The engine runs smoothly and the transmission operates as it should. The hydraulic system also functions as it should and the brakes are well up to the task.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle has an active Dutch license plate and accompanying registration documents.
The vehicle can be viewed and collected in Muiderberg, the Netherlands. Bids exclude transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, ownership transfer and any export documents/COC costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
