This is a beautiful 1971 Citroën DS20 Pallas. The car was ordered new by the first owner from the Citroën, Autobianchi and Maserati dealer in La Chapelle St. Luc. The car is beautifully documented and has had only two owners. The maintenance history tells us that the DS20 has only driven 120,675 kilometers. Not only that, with a mileage of 118602 the engine has been overhauled. This DS20 is therefore not only in beautiful optical condition, but also technically as fit as a fiddle.

The DS20 has always been ridden with love and very thoroughly maintained. The first owner owned the car from 1971 to 1998 and then sold the car to the second owner who owned it from 1998 to 2021. It is immediately apparent from the car that it has been exceptionally well cared for. The car has obviously always been kept in a heated garage and still looks great.

The body has beautiful and original sheet metal. The sheet metal is nice and thin and the fits are correct. The chrome on the body also looks beautiful. The car has already been repainted in its original colour. The paint was well sprayed at the time and only has some very light signs of use. The car still looks as original as the day it left the dealer. Just like every DS, this car has not lost any of its beauty: what a design!

The interior falls into the same category as the exterior and is almost a time capsule. The upholstery is original and undamaged. The instruments and controls are all in very good condition and function as they should. The headliner and carpets are also in very good condition.
The technology is perfectly maintained. As said, the engine was completely overhauled only a few thousand kilometers ago and runs beautifully. The 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine is mated to a four-speed semi-automatic transmission. The engine produces 90 horsepower. The transmission also functions as it should and contributes to the unparalleled luxurious handling of the DS. The brakes are up to the task and the hydropneumatic suspension is as comfortable as the day it left the factory.

The documentation accompanying the car is equally exceptional. The entire maintenance history is present, from purchase receipt to the last invoice. The maintenance book and the original manual are also present with the car. In short, a beautiful Citroën DS20 Pallas in a beautiful color scheme and fantastic documentation.
