1973 Citroen DS Super 5
This 1973 DS Super 5 will be auctioned at Blenheim Palace on September 3rd for anywhere between £ 75,000 and £ 90,000.
The story behind this car is that after
it was built, it didn't even need to leave the dealership in order to find its
first owner - the CEO of the supplying dealership, who has since remained the
sole owner of the car.
This right-hand drive DS is wearing
Blanc Meije, featuring its original Red Targa upholstery on the
inside. Also, because the owner entered it into multiple concours level shows
and competitions, the DS walked away with over 200 total awards.
These include being National Champion at
both the Welsh Benson & Hedges Concours and Popular Classics Roadshow, as
well as victories at the Scottish Benson & Hedges Concours, NEC show and
the Maguiars Concours - among others.
The car even has its own
television career after appearances on both Top Gear and Fifth Gear in the UK,
and that it has been offered a permanent place at the national Citroen Museum
in France.
