The appeal

The Citroën DS represents the pinnacle of French automotive design. Its futuristic aesthetics and advanced self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension system set it apart from its contemporaries, and even today, no other car from any other manufacturer has matched its unique style.

The 23 Pallas IE was the latest and most advanced evolution, and we are delighted to present this glorious 1975 example. It has been meticulously maintained and restored, preserving its original Scarab Brown exterior colour and Orange Brown interior.

The vehicle's exceptional condition, combined with its regular servicing by a Citroën garage in Vannes, makes it an exceptional choice for any classic car enthusiast. With only three registered owners since new and no modifications, this DS 23 Pallas IE is a true example of Citroën's timeless design.
