LONDON: A 1973 Citroen DS Super 5, believed to be the finest Citroen DS in the world, is set to be auctioned at Silverstone Auctions’ Salon Privé Sale on Sept 3 at Blenheim Palace.
With its aerodynamic, futuristic shape and innovative technology, this Citroen DS didn’t even have to leave the dealership showroom to find its first owner. The CEO of the supplying dealership is the first and only registered owner of the car, which is now one of the most decorated examples on the classic Citroen circuit in the world.
The right-hand drive DS is presented in period white (Blanc Meije) bodywork with original Red Targa upholstery. The car has won over 200 awards, featuring at the Paris Concours and Citroen World Championship.
This star car even boasts a television career, with appearances on both Top Gear and Fifth Gear. It has even been offered a permanent place at the national Citroen Museum in France.
The car will be offered for sale from £75,000 to £90,000. For the new owner, the car comes with full documentation on the car's history and restoration.
