Further Info:
Citroën's DS still looks futuristic, 60 years on from its launch. The self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension was also way ahead of its time, delivering a 'magic carpet' ride that many manufacturers would be grateful for even now. The newcomer was initially powered by an updated 1911cc version of the OHV four-cylinder unit previously found in the Traction Avant. This was enhanced and enlarged in three stages over the years, leaving the final iteration at 2347cc. The gearbox was mounted ahead of the engine, while braking was by inboard-mounted discs at the front and drums at the rear. Some 1.5 million D Series Citroëns were produced and the model immortalised in such films as The Day of the Jackal. The truly splendid-looking 2347cc-engined Pallas (luxury) on offer was manufactured in 1973 and is finished in a most attractive shade of Metallic Green. Its matching Green cloth interior trim is described by the vendor as 'excellent and all original' and the car would surely be a welcome addition to any collection.
