The seller offers for sale this 1974 Citroën DS, powered by a 2.2-litre inline-six petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
This example presents in metallic blue with a contrasting white roof, a colour combination that suits the DS’s distinctive silhouette particularly well. The interior has been fully retrimmed in matching blue fabric with white accents, covering the front and rear seats, door cards and headlining, giving the cabin a fresh and consistent appearance. The dashboard has been refurbished and a period-style radio unit fitted. With 12,500 km recorded, this is a low-mileage example currently registered and located in the Madrid region, Spain.
The Citroën DS was introduced at the 1955 Paris Motor Show and immediately became one of the most talked-about automobiles of the twentieth century. Its radical hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension, aerodynamic bodywork and futuristic styling set it apart from everything else on the road at the time. The DS remained in production until 1975, with later models such as this 1974 example benefiting from the revised fuel-injected or carburetted inline-six engines and updated interior specification introduced in the early 1970s. The DS has long been considered an icon of French industrial design and continues to attract collectors worldwide.
