1973 CITROEN D SUPER 5

"1973 CITROEN D SUPER 5 Very nice restoration Affordable price Mythical line of the DS Wishing to make the DS more affordable, Citroën declines its mythical model by less luxurious but more affordable versions. The high technology of the DS is also revised downwards in order to reduce production costs. The ID range is thus extended by the D range. In 1972, the Citroën D Super 5 appeared, which owes its name to its 5-speed gearbox, which made it a rather fast car, combined with its hydropneumatic suspension. It is a comfortable and efficient car, but unlike the DS, it is not equipped with the famous hydraulic transmission, which limits its purchase price and maintenance costs. In 1973, the DSuper, which had a 5-speed manual gearbox option, was supported by a new DSuper 5, which received a 5-speed gearbox as standard and the DS 21 engine. With 2175 cm3, it provides 106 hp DIN and allows the car to exceed 170 km/h in top speed. To better transmit this power to the ground, the rear wheels are increased from 155 to 165 mm wide. With this equipment, the DSuper5 is a serious rival of the DS21. The range will be reduced little by little in anticipation of the arrival of the CX, and the DSuper is no longer marketed from January 1975. The car we present is in a remarkable condition. It has been completely restored by a professional, with a concern for excellence and respect of the origin. The bodywork is in perfect condition, the underbody is clean and protected. The two-tone paint is so beautiful that it looks like this DSuper 5 just came out of the factory. The red velvet interior gives off that sweet smell of 70's nostalgia. You can't get enough of the futuristic dashboard borrowed from the DS, the gearshift lever on the steering wheel and the wide seats with the comfort of a living room sofa. To take the wheel of a DSuper is to fly over the road. The steering is fluid, the handling impeccable, the gear shifting smooth. This car is the perfect incarnation of driving pleasure without constraints. To buy this DSuper 5 is to enter the DS myth and for a price.
