1972 Citroën DSpécial Chassis Carte Grise Collection One of the latest ID evolutions Pleasant to drive Mythical model Attractive configuration A revolutionary car, the DS made a clean sweep of the past when it was introduced in 1955. For once, this overused label was not an exaggeration, given the absolute innovation of this gifted Citroën. During its 20-year career, this exceptional avant-garde car was marketed at the price of an "ordinary" model. When it was launched in May 1957, the Citroën ID 19 Luxe was powered by a 1,911 cm3 66 CV single-barrel carburetor engine. It shared the DS's hydraulic suspension, but was distinguished by its conventional clutch gearbox. IDs can be identified by their small wheel covers, black rubber windshield surrounds, burgundy, then black plastic rear turn signal horns, and silver chevrons on the rear trunk. The roof of the IDs was unpainted translucent fiberglass (eggshell color). Starting with 1962 models, it was painted white, while the DS was restyled in 1967 to adopt a new front end identical to that of its big sister. In 1970, as the ID's dashboard evolved to look more Seventies than Fifties, the ID 19 was renamed D Special. The example we're offering is a 1972 DSpécial. In good general condition, this car is sold with a valid MOT less than 6 months old. Coming by road from Normandy, this car runs well. 1972 Citroën DSpécial Chassis Carte Grise Collection One of the latest evolutions of the ID Pleasant to drive Mythical model Attractive configuration The DS was a revolutionary car, a clean sweep of the past when it was unveiled in 1955.
