Description
We love these cars here! This is a 1972 Citroen DS20 Saloon, Left Hand Drive, 5 Speed clutchless manual gearbox, Imported from Holland and now UK registered, with nearly £4, 000 spent in the last year or so. Finished in the perfect colours of Black with the Grey Velour interior, a lovely car and ready to go!
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 until very recently in top-of-the-range models. The DS's original 1, 911cc, overhead-valve, long-stroke engine was replaced in 1966 by a short-stroke 1, 985cc unit, also available in 2, 175cc and 2, 347cc versions, while other DS developments included swivelling headlights, fuel injection and a five-speed manual gearbox. By the time production ceased in April 1975, more than 1. 3 million of these wonderfully idiosyncratic cars had been built.
Our car is in a nice useable condition with much recent expenditure, it is a available at a fraction of its last selling price and ready for the summer! A lovely DS20 in the best colours at a great price!
