1966 Citroën DS 21 Cabriolet Chapron for Sale in France

This 1966 Citroën DS 21 Cabriolet Chapron is a used car showing 54,400 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Gris Palladium with a Black interior.

Citroën's archives show this DS 21 chassis sold on 8 February 1966 and delivered two days later to Henri Chapron at Levallois-Perret, where it became convertible number 8963 on its original body shell. It is a DS 21 M, with the manual gearbox, and left in ruby red over black leather; certificates from Citroën Heritage and the Chapron archives confirm its build.

Normandy Classics restored it fully between 2017 and 2019, respecting the original specification, and refinished it in Palladium grey. It has been serviced ahead of the sale.

The car is located in Paris, France.

The Citroën DS 21 Cabriolet uses the 2,175 cc DX four-cylinder with a five-bearing crankshaft and a Weber twin-choke carburettor, rated at 109 hp SAE (100 PS DIN) at 5,500 rpm and 170 Nm at 3,000 rpm, 179 km/h with the manual gearbox, with a four-speed manual or hydraulically shifted gearbox driving the front wheels. Hydropneumatic suspension keeps the ride height constant and lets it be raised to change a wheel, with power-assisted disc brakes at the front. The single-spoke steering wheel was designed to spare the driver's chest in a frontal impact.

FAQ

This Citroën DS in the European market

Is this Citroën DS priced above or below the European market?

At €189,900, it sits above the median of €149,700 for the 4 Citroën DS advertised in Europe in 2026. 50% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Citroën DS be bought in France and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Paris, France. The dealer quotes it as: Hydropneumatic suspension keeps the ride height constant and lets it be raised to change a wheel, with power-assisted disc brakes at the front. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Citroën DS compare?

54,400 km recorded, against a median of 33,950 km across the Citroën DS advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Citroën DS are priced closest to this one?

a 1963 car in the Netherlands at €245,000, and a 1973 car in the Netherlands at €109,500. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Citroën DS, and how does a purchase work?

L'Art de l'Automobile, a professional dealer in Paris, France. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Citroën DS be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Paris, France, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Citroën DS still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with L'Art de l'Automobile before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
