Citroën DS20 D Super — 1975

• Mechanical condition

  The car starts very easily, the brakes are known to be effective, and maneuvering the rack and pinion steering is straightforward. The hydraulic system operates efficiently, and the car rises quickly. The gray gas spheres (normally they are green and round) indicate that they have been recently replaced. They function well and have a long-life membrane that maintains pressure for longer, but they may feel slightly firm to a sensitive hydraulic enthusiast. One of the previous owners has also modified the heating system with Ballofix-type valves to be able to shut off the heating elements. It is likely that one of the elements had a leakage issue, but these are easy to remove and take to a radiator workshop for classic soldering and repair.

• Interior condition

  There is a cover on the seats and the original upholstery seems to be well-preserved underneath. Otherwise, the simpler fabric upholstery of DS models tends to wear quickly. The headliner has been replaced and the glue has come loose in a few places. With the right contact adhesive and good knowledge research, it is relatively easy to redo. The hat shelf has also been protected by an additional mat and the floor mats are intact and clean.

• Exterior condition

  There is a seat cover in place, and the original upholstery seems to be well-preserved underneath. Typically, the simpler fabric upholstery in DS models tends to wear out quickly. The headliner has been replaced, but the adhesive has come loose in some areas. With the proper contact adhesive and thorough research, it is relatively easy to reattach it. The parcel shelf has also been protected by an additional mat, and the floor mats are intact and clean.

• General condition

  An attractive late-model goddess with a simpler trim level, primarily distinguished by equipment details and fuel supply. It is representative and well-maintained, and nowadays, a carbureted version is actually preferred as they are more reliable and easier to maintain compared to the electronic fuel injections of the seventies.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
