Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1970 Citroën DS21 'Injection Electronique' is a well-traveled example, boasting a 2,175cc engine with Bosch electronic injection and a 5-speed manual gearbox. Presented in its original Bordeaux with a Pearl Grey roof and Red Jersey interior, it features sympathetic upgrades like a 123 Ignition System and rear seatbelts, while retaining much of its originality after a gradual restoration since 2016.

As a 'Pallas'-spec model, it represents the top of the range at the time, further enhanced by its Series 3 directional headlights. While the listing encourages inspection, the car's age and partial restoration suggest it may require some level of reconditioning to achieve a higher condition rating.
