About this car

The DS23 Pallas was the most luxurious of the later Citroën DS range, pairing the 2.3-litre engine with the marque's self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension and the upmarket Pallas trim. This 1973 car has an unusually well-documented Anglo-French history.

It was sold in 1995 by the London DS specialist Retromobile to a buyer in Lancashire. After seven years in the UK it was exported to the south of France, where it spent around 20 years. It returned to Britain in 2022, was re-registered as OJA 393M and has since been kept in York.

Work noted on the page includes new front and rear suspension spheres, a fuel gauge and a water pump, all documented by a French garage invoice from July 2022. A new clutch was fitted in 2025. Mileage is not stated.
