This Citroën DS 21 Pallas is the highly desired 2nd series model. It has a new “rare” folding sunroof and is equipped with a 4-speed manual gearbox.
Built in November 1966 (model year 1967) at the Citroën factory in Paris, France, it was first registered on December 12, 1966 when it was delivered to the French village of Villeneuve-de-Marsan, in the Departement Landes (40), South France. It remained in South France until August 2005 when it was moved to The Netherlands.
In 2019 and 2020 the car has been completely restored by Oldenzaal Classics BV. All body panels and body structure were checked and repaired as necessary after which a new coat of black (AC200 Noir) paint was applied. It was reassembled with new original and NOS parts including;
- new moldings
- new taillights
- re-chromed headlight rings
- high gloss polished bumpers
- new turn signals
- all new gaskets.
The steel wheels were painted in the correct (white) color. Correct Michelin XVS tires were mounted. Pallas hubcaps were polished to be pristine.
The complete interior was reupholstered, seats, rear seats, headrests, armrests, and door panels have been recovered in the correct “Fauve” leather.
Carpets were replaced as well as a new headliner. Seatbelts are also new.
Body underside was professionally sealed against rust with Dinitrol products.
Late ’66 to 67 Models received the LHM (Green) hydraulic fluid, contributing to a more reliable hydraulic system. 1966 was also the first year for the 2,175 cc (DX) 109 horsepower engine. This DS has a completely rebuilt 2,175 cc engine supplied by Oldenzaal with less than 3,000 miles put on it since installation.
This car is one of the most sought after models: A true DS21 Pallas with premium trim! All doors and fenders properly align.
When the sunroof is open it feels like driving a convertible car, when closed its silent and dry.
Located in Southern Florida. It resides in a dry temperature controlled garage.
Price: $65,000 USD.
