The Citroën DS was introduced in 1955 as a successor in the upper-middle class segment, with a focus on technical innovation. It combined aerodynamic design, hydraulic systems, and a unique chassis concept that set it apart from typical French and European passenger cars of the era. The DS quickly gained a special position within Citroën’s lineup and became influential both technically and stylistically.
Throughout its production, the DS evolved through various versions and designations to meet changing requirements and regulations. In 1973, production ended, shortly before the transition to the Citroën CX. The D Super was part of the later, more simplified variants within the DS series. This model was known for blending the technical foundation of the DS with a more accessible design.
The Citroën DS was notable for its hydraulic suspension, independently operated braking and control systems, and distinctive body construction. These features distinguished it from many contemporaries. The D Super represents a later derivative within this iconic line.
This 1973 Citroën DS D Super is equipped with power steering and swiveling headlights, two of the most recognizable technical features of the DS series. It also features an LPG system with a 60-liter tank, which was a common alternative fuel source during that era.
Around 2010, this vehicle was professionally restored by Citro-Classique in Borculo. A comprehensive photo report of the restoration is available, along with additional documentation. The interior features mouse-gray fabric upholstery, though the interior door handle is currently inoperable. The car is in running condition.
The combination of being a late-production D Super, the restoration work, and the accompanying documentation gives this Citroën DS D Super a unique place in the history of the DS. It retains original design features while representing one of the more refined variants of the series.
This 1973 Citroën DS D Super is a late model equipped with power steering, swiveling headlights, an LPG system, and detailed documentation. The professional restoration and photo report add to its historical value. Interested buyers are encouraged to attend the viewing day to assess the vehicle.
