1971/72 Citroen D Super Wanted by stanzo: 12:30pm On Jun 19, 2010
I want a 1971 or '72 Citroen D Super, preferably in good working condition. Also, Left Hand Drive models from Continental Europe or US preferred. Willing to pre-order. Any offers?

No offer but i am sure there is almost no type of car you need that you can not get from Cotonou.
Set aside a day to go to Cotonou with me to search for your buy option.

This is one of the projects that makes me smile. its no going to be an easy project but i will cherish the challenge of undertaking it. However, it can only come thru cotonou. if you are willing to clear. I don't have any cotonou clearing agent that i can be very sure to handle the project. That will fall on you. If you are willing to clear.

Also, you need to realize that since its a cotonou car, it will be full payment upfront. i will forward you all needed papers to clear it.

Back to the Citreon, one of my favorite feature while growing up is the electronic hydraulics when the car starts up. The car will lift up and you can see the rear tires. Hmmmmmm fun memories growing up.  grin There were about 3 around town when i was growing up.

Will keep you posted on my findings though

Meanwhile, my email is: promise72@yahoo.com

Thanks for the interest. Waiting to hear from you. The Citroen DS is one of the Classics. There should be no age limitations at the Ports for such Classic Cars. We don't have a culture of collection in this Country. I'm game for whatever you can dig up.

No problem. Watch this space. Will definitely come up with something.

The Citroen DS still exists in France to this very day, and most are enthusiast owned, and in great shape. On my last trip there (last year) I saw no less than 8 in Britany, Northern France.

If you wanted one from France, it'll have to be a pre-order. You can also get from Cotonou, though not sure what condition they'll be in - the last ones were built in 1975, though production spanned 20 years, unusual for a car at that time.
Re: 1971/72 Citroen D Super Wanted by Nobody: 9:08am On Jun 20, 2010
I wouldn't get from the United States - US Federal law decreed that the DS's unique steering-linked inner headlamps did not conform to US usage, so they had different front wings, with fixed headlamps.

I am not suggesting that he get from Cotonou. What i am saying is that the car will have to be brought in thru cotonou cos of the age.

Also most of the ones that came to the US and kept by die hard enthusiasts were converted to the european headlights. Also, several more came via the "grey market " route. Regulations were not as stringent then and many did scale thru intact as the european specs.

Sienna I am interested in your offer. Let's see what you can get, especially from France. Very clean vehicle with no need for restoration preferred.
Re: 1971/72 Citroen D Super Wanted by Nobody: 9:55am On Jun 20, 2010
Stanzo, here's one - I wouldn't describe it as mint, but extremely clean considering the age; it's a 1973 model:
