The Citroen ID was introduced in 1957 as a more affordable and mechanically simpler version of the groundbreaking DS. While it shared the same futuristic body designed by Flaminio Bertoni, the ID used a conventional manual transmission and braking system, forgoing some of the complex high-pressure hydraulics of the DS. This made it cheaper to build and easier to maintain, opening up ownership to a wider market.
Collectors are drawn to the ID because it offers the iconic DS look with more straightforward mechanicals. You still get the revolutionary self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension and its legendary ride quality, but without the maintenance headaches of the fully hydraulic systems. The ID represents a purer, more accessible version of one of the 20th century's most significant automotive designs.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern. Inspect the chassis members, floor pans, sills, and around the headlights and suspension mounting points.
- Check the hydropneumatic suspension carefully. The car should rise evenly from its lowest setting, and the pump shouldn't cycle too frequently. Look for leaks of green LHM fluid.
- The engine is durable, but parts for the early 1900cc units can be harder to find than for the later 2.0L and 2.1L versions. Check for regular maintenance records.
- Interior parts are scarce. Pay close attention to the condition of the dashboard, upholstery, and unique trim pieces, as finding replacements can be difficult and expensive.
