AI Listing Summary
This 1970 Citroën D Spécial, imported to the UK in 1986, comes with a comprehensive history and recent recommissioning, including paint correction. While retaining a pleasing patina, it boasts enhancements like electronic ignition and a stainless-steel exhaust, with an MOT valid until February 2026.
Condition
7
The car is described as a 'very genuine car' that has been regularly maintained. It has had paintwork correction recently, but a 'pleasing patina' remains, suggesting slight wear. It has been fitted with some aftermarket parts such as electronic ignition and a stainless-steel exhaust, and has some Mercedes seatbelts, which may or may not be considered improvements depending on the buyer. The mileage is relatively low for its age, but it has only been lightly used in recent years. This suggests overall solid condition with slight wear, meriting a 'Very Good' rating.

The car has been regularly maintained and fitted with electronic ignition, a stainless-steel exhaust, an improved alternator and Mercedes rear seat belts.
