Citroen DS20 1973

1973 Citroen DS20. The Citroen DS - or Déesse (Goddess) was produced between 1955 and 1975 and epitomises France as much as croissants and the Eiffel tower. Naturally over such a long production run there were numerous variants. This one is a 1985cc DS20 (first introduced in 1967), and as such has the restyled 'shark-nose' front end. The Citroen DS was manufactured in numerous plants worldwide, including in the UK, but this left-hand drive example is of continental origin. Registered in September 1973. Beautiful car in beautiful condition.

This particular example was registered in the UK in September 1974 (series 3). Equipped with a 2.4L Dino 65° V6 engine it's pretty quick off the block, doing 0-50 mph in 5 1/2 seconds, with a top speed of 148mph. And it's a great looking car in turquoise green!
