My favorite classic car. I live en grew up in the Netherlands nearby Amsterdam, and in my youth it was a normal sight on the road these cars. I ones owned a Citroen CX, but the DS will always be my favorite. This one however is in a beautifull shape, and i am in love with the blue color. And offcourse the two-tone roof.

The Most Comfortable car i have ever Driven, was lucky enough to drive DS 21 in 1973 brand new, from London to Manchester & back & i was 21 years old & till this day nothing has come near its comfort. With its Stunning Interior and smooth ride Headlights that turn when you turn around corners, just absolutely Fabulous Car, & you don't need to jack it up to change a wheel. Stunning.

it was and still is a futuristic and ahead of its time with technology unheard-of in those days. My dad was one of the first to own the SM version in early seventees, to this day still an eye dropping car.

Une magnifique restauration pour ce mythe de l'automobile française. Je note que vous avez conservé la plaque d'immatriculation française à l'arrière. En France les phares à l'avant étaient protégés par une vitre. Que de souvenirs, mon papa a possédé plusieurs DS et ID19. Merci pour ce partage.

Fun facts. The DS/ID cars have the fuel tank under the rear seat. The later DS 23 Pallas cars have self closing front doors, the rear doors are not self closing. The DS23 Pallas have two sets of horns , a normal set of twin horns, and a set of Italian Fiamm air horns. Pulling the horn lever towards you actuates the normal horns, pulling the lever all the way actuates both sets of horns .

Une ode à la DS, une déclaration d’amour mieux que toutes les pubs du monde. Il y a toujours eu des Ds dans ma famille. Mon père, 3 dont une de 1957 (liquide rouge qui pissait), puis moi-même 4 dont la dernière une 23 IE de 1974, extraordinaire voiture, jamais eu mieux. Actuellement aux mains d’un collectionneur célèbre, restaurée comme neuve. Et maintenant mon fils qui les collectionne!

Did you know that, with the hood open, for example for an engine inspection, you did not need to return to the passenger compartment to start. A starter was next to the battery! Practical during mechanical interventions! Savez-vous que sur les modèles à double phares, les longues portées tournaient avec les roues, éclairant l’intérieur des virages!!

@chrisridethatbloodything2044 Жыл бұрын
It has no clutch pedal. But two idle-rev-speeds. If you press the brake the revs drop to 800 rpm. With released brake it revs at 1000 rpm. The clutch starts to get in contact and to slip a little. The car begins to roll. If the rev gets higher the clutch closes more. Nice and easy to drive if everything is maintained perfectly. If not - ...

The suspension spheres is not original (at least not at the front). Should be of the old, divisible type, not the sealed CX-type! A bit slow on raising. And the rear end should raise first, not the front!
