1961 Citroën DS - Time Capsule!!! For Sale by Auction


THIS CAR IS A REAL TIME CAPSULE!!!!!!!!


1961 - ID 19 CONFORT

Regular French registration papers
Engine: ID 19 p number 19919684
Body number: 3123675

- Exceptional original condition, with certified mileage of 37, 000km (23, 000 miles)
- ‘Hélanca’ cloth interior in as-new condition
- Second owner since 1989

The work of an exceptionally gifted team, the Citroën DS had the daunting task of replacing the Traction Avant in 1955. Its new and strikingly modern styling – a masterpiece of Flaminio Bertoni – hugely impressed the public, but its design and technology was also astonishing, with hydropneumatic suspension, power steering, disc brakes and semi-automatic transmission, to cite just a few examples.
With a career lasting 20 years and models ranging from an elegant convertible to a hard-working estate, it also shone in competition, winning the Monte Carlo Rally in 1958, for example. Truly a legend and the symbol of an entire era in French industrial engineering, the DS is one of the most collected cars in the world. Enthusiasts can be found driving one every day in California or even in Australia, proof of its solid construction and ease of use.

The model which appears in these pages is an ID Confort from November 1960 – and therefore from the 1961 model year – finished in Pacific Blue (AC 607) and with an interior in blue ‘Hélanca’ cloth.
This ID is in exceptional condition: to admire its shape or its barely patinated original paintwork, or sit inside it on the original blue fabric, which has been preserved in as-new condition, is to travel back in time. Never restored or repaired, it bears witness to the past. Its present owner, a major collector of Citroëns, acquired the car at the end of the 1980s, at that glorious time when examples of the DS in fine condition could be found in a market which was not yet that of classic cars.
This ID was already fitted with 12-volt electrics and features all the items of equipment specific to this model: nothing has been changed since it left the factory at the quai de Javel.
The car is in excellent mechanical condition: although it has been lovingly cared for like a museum exhibit, it has been regularly driven to keep the hydraulic system in good condition.
On test, the car proved every bit as smooth and sweet running as an ID 19 which has covered just 37, 000km (23, 000 miles) should. And even if it is destined to be preserved as a museum piece, it is ready to take to the road. The roadworthiness certificate (‘contrôle technique’) is valid and the regular French registration papers in order.

Estimate: 25, 000 / 35, 000 €
