About this car

The DS Safari is the estate version of Citroën's hydropneumatic landmark, and this one is a rare right-hand-drive car built at the company's Slough factory. It was first registered on 1 July 1964. Slough cars had some British-market details, including 12-volt electrics and their own interior trim.

The history on the page includes an engine rebuild and a body restoration in the original blue. A Citroën specialist has recently recommissioned the car, with work on the hydraulic system. The leather interior has been repaired rather than replaced, so it keeps its patina. It has covered 112,000 miles and has had seven previous owners.

The dealer says it will be given a major service and a fresh MOT before sale.
