Citroen DS23 1973

We are proud to present a stunning example of the iconic Citroen DS23 Pallas. As the flagship of the DS range, the Pallas edition redefined automotive luxury, blending increased noise insulation with exquisite interior and exterior upgrades. This model remains the most powerful, comfortable, and elegant choice for the discerning collector, offering a level of sophistication that has lost none of its impact over the decades.A Masterclass in Interior RestorationThe cabin of this DS is a truly wonderful place to be, oozing class from every angle. It has benefited from a comprehensive interior restoration, featuring a host of new components including:* New seats and plush carpeting throughout.* Replacement leather door cards and leather door hangs.* New steering wheel and rear headrests.* Pristine dashboard and vinyl with no cracks or marks, where every button and switch functions exactly as designed. The indicated mileage of just over 31,000 km is believed to be original, reflecting the exceptionally well-preserved nature of this classic.Jaw-Dropping Exterior PresenceThe exterior of this DS23 remains as breathtaking today as it was in 1973. In March 2021, the car underwent a professional respray, receiving a wonderfully subtle and elegant two tone finish. The paintwork is in excellent condition, and all panels are completely free of dents or damage. To complete its show-standard appearance, the exterior has been refreshed with new chrome trim, side mirrors, badges, and front inner wheel arch sections.The Full Performance PackageThis DS23 is as capable as it is beautiful. The heart of the car is its potent 2.3L engine, which delivers a significant power advantage over lower DS models. Mated to a desirable five speed manual gearbox, it will happily cruise at modern motorway speeds with ease. Most importantly, the legendary hydropneumatic suspension functions perfectly, operating smoothly without any worrying creaks or groans to ensure that famous "magic carpet" ride.The Citroen DS23 Pallas is everything one could desire in a French classic: timeless styling, upgraded performance, and unmatched comfort. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully restored, turn-key example of the height of 1970s automotive style.
