Introduced in 1955, the DS Citroën had the difficult task of succeeding the Traction Avant. It impressed the public with a new and strikingly modern design, a masterpiece by Flaminio Bertoni, and also astonished by its technique and design: hydropneumatic suspension, power steering, disc brakes, semi-automatic gearbox, to name but a few examples. With a twenty-year career and a variety of models ranging from the elegant convertible to the utility station wagon version, it also shone in competition, winning the Monte Carlo Rally in 1958. A true myth and symbol of the French industrial genius of the time, the DS is one of the most collected cars in the world. The D Super replaced the ID20 in 1969, and was equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox and power steering. It has the "water-drop" headlights added to the second phase of the model in 1967, as well as the new dashboard with rev counter, released in September 1969. The door handles and steering wheel were replaced in 1971.
The Citroën DS that interests us in these pages was put into circulation on February 2, 1972. The original silver-green AC 527 was completely repainted in black before the current owner purchased it. The upholstery is made of brown fabric and is now with a certain amount of wear and tear. The collector Mr. S bought it in 2005 and will maintain his DS in good mechanical condition. In 2013 work is undertaken and the spheres, fuel pump, alternator etc... will be replaced. Our test will indeed reveal a good mechanical condition despite a perfectible appearance. The replacement of the exhaust line will be planned. Today presented with an attractive estimate, this is a chance to acquire a D Super 5 which is a good basis for an easy refresh.
