This Citroen DS21 is a handsome example of the ground-breaking French automobile, boasting a prior repaint and retrim. Under the bonnet is a 2,175cc carburettor-fed inline-four, driving the front wheels via a four-speed clutchless manual gearbox with column gearshift. Having been with the current vendor for over 30 years, this DS has been treated to a full respray, an interior retrim, and a recent rebuild of the hydropneumatic suspension system. The odometer indicates 29,332 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1970 The car won first place in ID/DS at the 2006 Concours d’Elegance for the Citroen Car Club of NSW, and first in class for the Bastille Day Concours the year prior. A revolutionary vehicle at its introduction, the DS features streamlined bodywork styled by Flaminio Bertoni, the first disc brakes found on a mass-produced vehicle, and the renowned hydro-pneumatic suspension system with automatic levelling. This example has been fully resprayed and has been refinished in a newer Blue Amerindien Citroen hue used between 1995-2005, and the interior has been retrimmed in tan (tobac) leather upholstery, with a contrasting black dash and steering wheel. Equipment includes directional headlights, a heated rear screen, two door mirrors, a single-bar steering wheel, Jaeger gauges, air conditioning, front and rear armrests, and a Jaeger analogue clock. The car comes with the original sales brochure from CITCO Citroen Cars Glebe, as well as an OEM owner’s manual, an OEM service log book, an Autobooks period-correct owner’s workshop manual, a spare wheel, tools, and one key. Please note: the vehicle is registered with the VIN of DSFC00FC7952. The original stamped seven-digit chassis number is 4644354 as shown in the gallery.
