SUMMARY
A fine example of the rare D Special in regular use and offered to sale from long-term ownership.
DESCRIPTION
- Citroën phased out the ID19 in 1969, replacing it with two models, the D Special and the D Super
- The D Special was fitted with a 1,985cc engine developing 91bhp and featured a simplified interior with less complex systems to go wrong
- Imported to the UK from Germany in the 1980s, this wonderful example of a D Special has been cherished by its family owners for many years
- The subject of much fettling and attention throughout its life, it comes to sale now as storage is no longer available
- Upgrades/enhancements include 123 ignition, stainless steel exhaust, uprated alternator and Mercedes rear seat belts fitted
- Taken to Paris as part of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations and a copy of the magazine from the event is in the car's history file
- Ideal for the collector who wants something to show that is just a little different, it has scope for improvement but can also be used regularly
- Our fastidious vendor starts it every day to make sure it doesn't let him down when he fancies a run out, or when used for occasional weddings
- Freshly MOT'd and now valid until 24/02/2026
