Highlights: – 2.1-litre four-cylinder engine, petrol, 5-speed manual transmission – Rare DS Super 5 variant with the five-speed manual gearbox – Bodywork and paintwork restored, with photo documentation available – Complete engine overhaul by a specialist workshop, invoices and videos available – Blue interior with armrests and two radios, one period-correct and one modern The private seller offers for sale this 1974 Citroën DS 21 Super 5, powered by a 2.1-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Few cars have shaped the image of the automobile as much as the Citroën DS. Introduced in 1955, it stunned the world with its futuristic shape, hydropneumatic suspension, powered steering and disc brakes, and it remained in production for twenty years. The DS 21 Super 5 belongs to the final years of that run, when the larger 2.1-litre engine was combined with a five-speed manual gearbox that gives the car a more relaxed gait on the open road than the earlier four-speed. This example is finished in blue metallic with a contrasting white roof, a colour combination that highlights the flowing lines of the body to full effect. According to the seller it is in its third ownership. The bodywork and paintwork have been restored, and the seller can provide photo documentation of that work. The engine has also been completely overhauled by a specialist workshop, for which invoices and videos are said to be available. Since the overhaul the car has covered only around 2000 km and the break-in period has just been completed. The seller also mentions a serviced power steering system and electronic ignition. Inside, the DS greets its occupants with blue upholstery with French foam, white door panels and armrests that suit the character of the car. Two radios are fitted, an original period-correct unit and a modern system, so the owner can choose between authenticity and convenience. The seller states that the car is sold with a valid technical inspection (ITV) and insurance coverage until April 2027, and that an inspection and a test drive are welcome. The DS remains one of the most recognisable and best-loved classics from France. Its comfortable ride, distinctive design and engineering ambition continue to draw collectors, and a fully overhauled five-speed example like this one is an appealing proposition for anyone looking to enjoy a DS straight away.
