The DS23 was the final and most powerful iteration of the revolutionary Citroën DS. Launched for the 1973 model year, it featured a larger 2,347 cc 4-cylinder engine, offering more performance than its DS21 predecessor. It carried forward the stunning Flaminio Bertoni design and the car's signature hydropneumatic suspension, but with 2 decades of refinement.
Collectors prize the DS23 as the ultimate expression of the 'Goddess.' The models equipped with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, known as the Injection Électronique (IE), are particularly sought after for their superior power and smoothness. Top-tier Pallas trim levels added another layer of luxury, making them the most desirable configurations. These cars represent the pinnacle of a design that was futuristic in 1955 and remains so today.
Buying Tips
- The hydropneumatic suspension is the car's heart; check the system thoroughly. Ensure the car rises correctly from its lowest setting, and look for any green LHM fluid leaks from the spheres, pump, or high-pressure lines. Deferred maintenance here is costly.
- Rust is the biggest enemy. Inspect the chassis members, floor pans, inner wings, and the box sections behind the bumpers. The bolt-on body panels can hide serious structural corrosion, so a detailed inspection is essential.
- The 2.3L engine is robust, but the fuel injection system on IE models requires specialist knowledge. Check for smooth running and a steady idle. A carbureted model is simpler and cheaper to maintain if you're not a purist.
- Pallas interiors are luxurious but complex to restore. Check for worn leather, a sagging headliner, and cracked dashboard components. Sourcing correct trim pieces can be difficult and expensive.
