This is a fabulous project for the summer. it is a 1974 Citroen DS 23 Convertible. Right Hand Drive. As you might have noted from the price it is a car converted from a saloon by Dee-Ess or a similar company in the nineties. It is finished in a lovely shade of Metallic Blue with Blue interior and Blue roof. just stunning really and whilst it is cosmetically very good. it has been sitting for a long time and is in need of a restoration. It runs and drives fine but needs MOT'ing and putting on the road. A RHD DS 23 is a rare car in itself and this would be a superb alternative to spending £200 k on an original Chapron car.
Just as it had done 21 years previously with the revolutionary 'Traction Avant'. Citroën stunned the world again in 1955 with the launch of the futuristically styled 'DS'. Beneath the shark-like newcomer's aerodynamically efficient. low-drag bodyshell there was all-independent. self-levelling. hydro-pneumatic suspension plus power-operated brakes. clutch and steering. No European car would match the DS's ride quality for several years. the fundamental soundness of Citroën's ahead-of-its-time hydro-pneumatic suspension being demonstrated by its survival in present-day top-of-the-range models. The DS's original 1. 11 cc. overhead-valve. long-stroke engine was replaced in 1966 by a short-stroke 1. 85 cc unit. also available in 2. 75 cc and 2. 47 cc versions. while other DS developments included swivelling headlights. fuel injection and a five-speed manual gearbox.
Other models offered alongside the original DS were the ID (a simplified. cheaper version). the cavernous Safari estate and the two-door Décapotable (convertible). the latter boasting coachwork by Henri Chapron. Right-hand drive versions were assembled in England at Citroën's Slough factory up 1966. whereupon manufacture of all RHD models reverted to France. By the time production ceased in April 1975. more than 1. 3 million of these wonderfully idiosyncratic cars had been built.
This is a rare chance to complete a great DS Convertible at a reasonable price. I will not be able to find another when this goes.
