Citroen DS 21 1973
General description :
Citroen DS 21 Super 5 from 1973 for sale
Exterior: The car had a light restoration around 10 years ago when it was repainted. Some body work was done, and it received new rubber seals etc. It is today looking very presentable in its grey metallic colour. Exterior details such as door handles bumpers etc are also in very good condition. Rolling on time period correct looking Wredestein tyres. No matter what you think about the design of a Citroen DS you have to admit that this car has a lot of road presence.
Interior: As you can see this car has a Pallas interior in black leather. It makes a great contrast to the grey outside. The best part with this entire car is for me the wonderful patina on the leather of this car. It is still very nice and soft, not broken anywhere, but you can see it has been around for many years and has been very well taken care of over the years. All of the instruments are working as they should and also all functions such as heat, fans, wipers etc. Nice carpets and headliner.
Engine: Starts easily and rise up like it should. Was recently fitted with new hydraulics. It has a new exhaust and the engine sounds and runs great. For me the five-speed gearbox is a big plus in comparison with a semi-automatic and shifting gears in this car is very smooth. This is a DS Super 5 and gives 106 horsepower which was quite a lot back in 1973.
History: This Lovely Citroen DS 21 was taken into traffic the first time on the 8th of May in 1973. First owner had the car for 10 years and the it changed hands again in 2007, 2014 and 2019. It comes with the original handbook and a binder containing collected receipts and inspection documents over the years.

About Citroen
French industrialist André Citroën had been building arms for the French army during WWI by the end of the war he was left with great industrial facilities but no product for the post war market. In 1919 he founded Citroen that became the first mass-production car company outside the USA[3] and a pioneer of the modern marketing as well as factory backed services network. Mind you, even Eiffel Tower served as a billboard for Citroën from 1925 to 1934 -Mon Dieu, monsier!
Soon Citroën earned a reputation for innovation and revolutionary engineering. Staying true to their slogan "Créative Technologie" Citroën has many "firsts" under their belt:
Europe’s first all-steel-bodied car, the B10 In 1934.
The world's first mass-produced front-wheel drive car,Traction Avant, (also one of the first cars to feature a monocoque-type body)
The world's first hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension system, introduced with the revolutionary Citroën DS / ID models in 1955, as well as the first production car with disc brakes.
Swiveling headlights in 1967, and finally variable assist power steering in 1970
With Citroën purchasing Maserati in 1968 a door opened for a high speed GT-model that would compete with Ferrari, Aston Martin et. al, when introduced Citroen SM was the world's fastest fwd-car.
