Lot 069: 1970 CITROEN DS21 IE USINE DECAPOTABLE

Finished in red with tan leather upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good for age" (paintwork), "good" (2175cc fuel-injected engine, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork, wheels / tyres) or "very good" (four-speed manual gearbox, chassis) condition. Reputedly a 'matching numbers' car, chassis OOFB0922 is said to have covered 189,000km (approximately 118,000 miles) and to have had just two registered keepers since being supplied new to a German doctor. Apparently garaged all its life but used on an almost daily basis, the Decapotable still retains its original keys (two sets), instruction manuals and Blaupunkt radio as well as service records dating back to 1970. Treated to a colour change approximately twenty years ago, the car is otherwise thought to be to factory specification throughout. Only recently imported to the UK, this ultra desirable Citroen is accompanied by its original bill of sale, first logbook, service records (1970-2005), H-Kennzeichen (historic car) documentation and fresh TuV certificate (the German equivalent of our MOT). A comparatively late Chapron bodied Usine Decapotable boasting a desirable specification and continuous history from new, chassis number OOFB0922 has much to recommend it.
