1974 CITROEN DS 23 IE PALLAS Chassis n° 01FG2946 French collector's registration - Timeless configuration - Hydraulic gearbox Introduced in 1973, the new DS 23 range comprises several different versions: carburetor, fuel injection, 5-speed manual gearbox, four-speed hydraulic gearbox, three-speed automatic gearbox, and station wagon... Compared with the previous 21, the main innovation is the engine's displacement, which increases from 2175cc to 2347cc, i.e. 13HP for tax purposes. At 2347cc, the engine develops 130 DIN hp at 5250 rpm and 19.9 mkg at 2500 rpm, still with Bosch indirect electronic fuel injection. The model on offer is a DS23 IE Pallas equipped with the hydraulic gearbox. It was restored some ten years ago (invoices not present). It is presented in the beautiful sandy hue that suits it so well. This car has seen very little traffic in recent years, so a service should be scheduled before embarking on a long journey, and the finish should be reviewed. 1973 CITROEN DS 23 IE PALLAS Chassis n° 01FG2946 French collector's registration - Timeless configuration - Hydraulic gearbox Introduced in 1973, the new DS 23 range comprises several different versions: carburettor, fuel injection, 5-speed manual gearbox, four-speed hydraulic gearbox, three-speed automatic gearbox and estate...
