Citroen DS 23 IE semi Pallas '73

The 1973 Citroën DS 23 IE Pallas represents the ultimate blend of French elegance, technical ingenuity, and timeless design. This version, equipped with electronic fuel injection and luxurious Pallas trim, delivers the legendary floating comfort that made the DS world-famous.

A distinctive feature of this model is its semi-automatic gearbox – a dream to operate. It’s a hybrid between a manual and an automatic : you retain the feeling of shifting gears when you wish, but without using a clutch, as the clutch operates automatically.

This example is in an older, largely original condition – an honest classic that has preserved its authentic character.
