Description
Attention Citroen enthusiasts! We own a Citroen DS 20 Pallas (model year 1973). This vehicle has been in our family since the day it was purchased. We have tried our best to care for this beautifully driving machine for many years, but we can no longer maintain the vehicle properly (the lack of local parts and expertise are major contributors). The car deserves a proper restoration so someone can enjoy its legendary handling in open road. The car ran beautifully until about three years ago when a seasonal flood resulted in a sound originating from the gear box. Despite our efforts to properly clean and restore the gear box, the sound persisted, a job that requires expertise and funds we do not have. The car sits idle since then; we had actually sold it to a buyer from England who unfortunately could not pick up the car for over two years, so we list it again.
The vehicle needs a complete body and engine restoration, though the engine ran well. We have not attempted to start it as it has old gasoline and we do not wish to cause damage. The undercarriage was properly winterized, so the flood did not damage any frame parts. However, we have not inspected the car in these three years, so we cannot attest to the quality of the frame. All glass and trim pieces are intact and in good condition. The interior is not original, but beautifully done. We can see a rust in the trunk area under the rubber.
For verification purposes, the frame number is DSFD07FD3977 and the engine number is the details below. The vehicle carries an antique designation in Greece. It has never been in an accident, and it was very well maintained until the flood.
We have listed the car at a reasonable price given that the buyer will have to pay moving expenses and potentially customs and title transfer. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns. Please do not contact me with offers to pay outside the parameters of the Car & Classic agreement. Thank you!Anyone who has seen this car has appreciated its beauty and sleek lines. Anyone who has driven this car has fallen in love with its legendary handling, especially in open road. It is an extremely comfortable car that seats 5 people very comfortably in the spacious interior. The driver has excellent visibility at all times, and the car also has an outstanding safety record.
