This Citroën DS 21 Confort Berline from 1968 presents itself as a well-preserved and unrestored original vehicle in the elegant color combination AC099 Gris Nocturne with roof in AC100 Gris Argent. The interior is finished in elegant Jersey Vieil Or, giving the car a warm and stylish appearance. With a total mileage of just 45,662 kilometers and an outstanding state of care, this example is an absolute exception.
DS21 – A masterpiece of French engineering
The DS 21 is powered by a water-cooled 4-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 2,175 cm³ and 109 hp. The semi-automatic 4-speed gearbox combined with the typical front-wheel drive and hydropneumatic suspension provided the legendary comfortable driving experience that made this model series world-famous. With a top speed of 175 km/h, the DS 21 was not only ahead of its time in terms of style, but also technically.
History with original DS21 documents
The vehicle was first delivered in France and was first owned until 2010. Only four previous owners are documented. The well-preserved documentation is particularly remarkable: the original Carte de Garantie, the French registration papers from 1968, a handwritten purchase contract, several Citroën factory letters on delivery, numerous maintenance and repair invoices and other original contemporary documents are available. The car has been prepared and preserved with the greatest care by a French collector over the years – without being restored.
Citroën DS21 – The coveted transitional model of the D-series
The 1968 model year also marks a coveted transition year: it is the first with the distinctive headlights behind glass and at the same time the last with the classic dashboard and large steering wheel. This combination makes the vehicle particularly rare and collectible. This automobile exemplifies French engineering and avant-garde design – a vehicle for individualists and connoisseurs that has now found its new owner.
