1973 Citroen DS 23 Pallas Right Hand Drive
The Story So Far!
This car belonged to my late father who was a Citroen mechanic in the 1970's / 80's.  He acquired the car in 1980 when he stripped it down. resprayed it (non standard colour) and wax oiled every part of the car.  Unfortunately the car was never really finished off (putting all the chrome trims back on etc. . and it has now been dry stored for the last 33 years!!The car now requires a light panel restoration and recommissioning. It has slight surface rust beginning to form on the panels. the worst panel being near side rear door (see photo no. 8).  There is no chassis corrosion whatsoever and it has never been welded. I have fitted a brand new battery and it starts off the key and lifts on the hydraulics.  
This car has only had 1 previous owner from new and has only done 34. 00 miles from new and is still on the ORIGINAL MICHELIN XAS TYRES!! (photo no. 10)It is the Pallas model with brown leather seats which are in excellent condition. it is a 4 speed semi automatic gear box.   The car comes with a boot full of spares. chrome trims etc. . which I presume belonged to the car.  Although I cannot find the door mirrors.  
As you can see from the photos this car is in very good overall condition and is almost good enough to show / use as it is.  
NOW FOR THE BAD POINTS.
New exhaust tail pipe required (corroded due to standing). new top hose required. (corroded due to standing). new thermostat housing required (corroded due to standing).  New head lining required  or old one gluing back in (sagging).  I have looked on various specialist Citroen Websites and all of the above are readily available.  
The car is located on the Derbyshire / Staffordshire border (DE12) and viewing is most welcome up until 08/08/13
If anyone requires any more photos of specific areas of the vehicle then please ask.
Please bid to buy and no time wasters please. I require cash on collection and the vehicle must be removed within 14 days of end of auction.  There is no reserve and no buy it now.
With a little bit of work this would make a lovely car for someone.
