Equipment

One of eight important Citroens in todays sale, all restored by specialist Vincent Crescia of the Lake Garage in Switzerland. This is one of only three DS23 cabriolets bodied by Chapron, the only one with electronic fuel injection. Beautifully done and like new.

Market commentary

The ultimate in Henri Chaprons long history and culminating his long collaboration with Citroen. While only someone in France could appreciate it this much thats no reason not to respect the judgement of the buyer and the underbidder. It is a fabulous automobile and a rare example of a real coachbuilt automobile from the 70s from one of the legends of coachbuilding in France or anywhere else for that matter.
