1974 Citroën D

This Citroën D Special Deluxe is a timelessly stylish and evocative French classic, offered with a desirable period-correct cream over brown factory specification. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 2.2-litre inline-four, which sends its power to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission with column shift. This example has been with its current owner for seven years. The odometer indicates 58,864 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1974 This Citroen D Special Deluxe wears cream over a brown vinyl-trimmed interior with a contrasting black dashboard, grey carpets, and a white headliner. It rides on 15-inch steel wheels with chrome hub caps, fitted with Michelin XAS tyres. Inside, it features Citroen’s signature single-spoke steering wheel, the rubber ‘mushroom’ brake pedal, manual windows, and heating and ventilation controls. The car will be accompanied by its original owner’s books, and one key. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The latest service was carried out during March 2024 by European Auto Penrith. The work comprised of a major service with an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the steering rack, and a service of the suspension spheres. This Citroën D Special Deluxe is a charismatic and idiosyncratic French classic, offered with a desirable factory specification. Presented in a period-correct cream finish over brown vinyl upholstery, and boasting instantly recognisable Flaminio Bertoni-penned styling, alongside many ground-breaking period features, it would make a charming companion for weekend cruising and classic car show visits, and a wonderful addition to any classic collection.
