The 1973 Citroën D Super is part of the D series introduced in 1955 and gained international fame for its advanced technology and aerodynamic design. The model was distinguished in its time by the use of hydropneumatic suspension, which provided a constant ride height and a high level of comfort. The Citroën D Super occupied a position within the range between the more luxurious DS variants and the simpler versions, balancing technology and equipment. The D Series remained in production until 1975 and was built in large numbers, giving the model a firm place within European automobile history.
This Citroën D Super is equipped with power steering and the characteristic rotating headlights, a feature introduced by Citroën in the late 1960s that contributed to improved visibility when cornering. Around 2010, the car was professionally restored by Citro-Classique from Borculo, a specialist in Citroën classics. There is an extensive photo reportage of this restoration that gives an idea of the work done. There is also an extensive photo series available.
The Citroën D Super is equipped with an LPG installation with a 60-liter tank. This addition makes it possible to drive on LPG in addition to gasoline. The interior is done in mouse gray fabric upholstery, matching the character of the model; the upholstery is reported to be in very clean condition.
At the car it is stated that the interior door handle does not currently work. Other specific technical or mechanical details are not specified. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
