1970 DS 21 Pallas IE BVH. A fuel-injected DS 21 Pallas, supplied in December 1969 to Citroën Clermont Ferrand and first registered (95 47 QA 63) to Jean-Patrick Richard in January 1970. The car remained with the Richard family when Jean-Patrick passed away in 1992, preserved in the basement of their home in Corrèze. More information on the car’s history can be seen on the pages of Docteur Danche - le nuancier DS
Retaining its original 2175 cc engine with semi-automatic transmission, the car has covered approximately 113,000 km. The original black leather interior has been reupholstered by the elusive Enzo Forgione, who provides PSA with leather interiors for their heritage collection in Citroën showrooms in Paris.
The ‘DS 21’ decal displayed in the rear window marks the first prize safety award (Prix de la Sécurité) presented to Citroën by the French Motoring Press Association back in 1969. More images
In January ‘71, Citroën of Clermont-Ferrand delivered this DS 21 Pallas in Gris Nacré to Marcel Rimbert - an upgrade from his 1965 ID 19. The car remained with the Rimbert family at their home in Thiers, Auvergne, for more than 40 years until it was imported to the UK in 2015. More images
