1963 Citroën DS 19 Le Caddy Chapron for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1963 Citroën DS 19 Le Caddy Chapron is a used car showing 38,899 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Grey Metallic with a Red interior.

Besides the factory convertible, the Parisian coachbuilder Henri Chapron created his own bodies on the DS, and the Le Caddy was his two-door convertible with a shorter hood; 34 were built between 1960 and 1968. This 1963 car is an original Le Caddy, backed by its authentic Chapron certificate confirming originality and specification, and its history is known and well documented.

It has recently been reconditioned as close as possible to its original factory state by a Dutch specialist working in France, with invoices detailing every job, and recognised experts on Chapron-bodied Citroëns have confirmed its authenticity. Finished in grey with red leather, it is presented in a state fit for leading concours events.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Citroën DS 19 uses the 1,911 cc four-cylinder derived from the Traction 11 CV, with a Weber twin-choke carburettor, rated at 83 hp SAE (80 PS DIN) at 4,500 rpm and 141 Nm, with a hydraulically shifted four-speed gearbox or, from February 1963, a conventional manual.
