The 1974 Citroën DS 23 Pallas is a remarkable model within the long line of the DS series, which debuted in 1955. The DS series was known for its innovative design and technological advances, including hydropneumatic suspension. The model quickly became a symbol of French style and engineering. The Pallas version was aimed at the luxury segment, with extra attention to finish and comfort.
In 1998, this particular example was imported to the Netherlands. The current owner, since 2016, has since paid a lot of attention to the car. The Citroën underwent significant improvements in recent years: the engine block and gearbox were overhauled, and the body received a full paint job in the original color AC 085 Beige Tholonet. Since the overhauls in 2018-2019, the car has driven approximately 7,500 kilometers.
The original leather interior is still present, although it shows some signs of use. This model is manual transmission and features luxury options such as tinted glass and blinds. The Citroën DS 23 Pallas remains a classic example of French automotive engineering and design. This version is widely regarded as one of the most advanced and beloved within the DS range. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
