Just as it had done 21 years previously with the Traction Avant, Citroen stunned the world again at the 1955 Paris Salon with the launch of the futuristically styled DS. Beneath the aerodynamically efficient, low-drag body shell, there is an all-independent, self-levelling, hydro-pneumatic suspension, with power-operated brakes, clutch and steering. No European car would match the ride quality of the DS for several years; the success of the hydro-pneumatic suspension was demonstrated by its survival for another four decades.

DD Classics is delighted to offer this rare right hand drive example of the Citroen DS23 Pallas. Beautifully finished in the most sophisticated Metallic Azure Blue, complemented with bright Chrome details. Inside, the DS23 is extremely luxurious; the sumptuous Pallas seats are upholstered with Black leather and the floor is lined with sumptuous Blue padded Wilton carpets.

Built to top-of-the-range Pallas specification, this late-model DS23 retains its original, electronic fuel-injected 2.3 litre engine and has the highly desirable 5-speed manual transmission. The Pallas luxury equipment package gives the DS a subtle air of extra-refinement and distinction. Additionally the car has a CD player and Pioneer speakers included.

A fascinating file of documentation accompanies the car and includes the original book-pack, still in its plastic wallet. Our Citroen DS23 is an extraordinary car, it is clear the owners have taken meticulous and sympathetic care for the vehicle throughout its life.

To open the door is to step back in time! Such is the condition of the car, in all areas, that one might believe for a few moments that it is still 1974.
