SUMMARY

A delightfully honest left-hand drive DS20 Pallas, well maintained, still sporting its original interior and now ready for continental touring this summer.

DESCRIPTION

  • The DS was designed by an Italian and became instantly recognisable for its aerodynamic and futuristic shape and innovative technology, including its hydropneumatic, self-levelling suspension
  • It was introduced by the French company in 1955 and produced in various derivatives over the next 20 years, probably reaching its zenith with the DS20 and DS23 in Pallas specification, which have long been the benchmark of French luxury cars.
  • This is a well maintained 1,985cc DS20 Pallas in Gris Palladium (AC108b) with a painted roof and original tan leather interior including a matching front central armrest (removable)
  • Imported from France in the early 2000s and only 58,000km from new
  • During its present enthusiast ownership, the DS has been well cared for by marque specialists, bills totalling over £15,000 and recently benefitted from a service and new tyres
  • Running and driving very well, this delightful Pallas is ready to enjoy, offered with a great history file
