The seller offers for sale this 1973 Citroën DS 20 Berline powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine running on LPG, paired with a manual transmission. Purchased about five years ago at an auction in the Netherlands, it has since been in Lithuania, where it holds official historic vehicle status. The car has participated in exhibitions and notably completed the full Baltic Way anniversary route from Tallinn to Vilnius. The body shows typical signs of age, with some rust around the trunk and under the hood. The interior is clean and well-preserved, with comfortable seats and a tidy cabin. Mechanically, the DS starts easily, runs smoothly without smoke or strange noises, and the gearbox shifts well. It has not suffered accident damage and retains its iconic features such as power steering, disc brakes, hydropneumatic suspension, and swiveling headlights.
Introduced in 1955, the Citroën DS revolutionized automotive engineering with its futuristic design and pioneering technology. Its hydropneumatic suspension system provided unmatched comfort and handling, while innovations such as power-assisted steering, disc brakes, and self-leveling height set new standards for luxury cars. The DS became a symbol of French ingenuity and style, admired for its aerodynamic shape and smooth ride. Even today, it remains one of the most iconic cars in automotive history, appreciated by collectors for its unique character and advanced engineering that was decades ahead of its time.
