Welcome to the restoration journey of my beloved 1973 Citroën DS23 Pallas. This classic car was manufactured with great care and precision at the Quai de Javel factory in Paris. A true masterpiece, it boasts a 5 speed manual transmission and carburettor engine. With its beautiful beige Tholonet exterior and caramel Jersey Velours rayé interior, this car is a true work of art. Join me as I bring this classic Citroën back to its former glory and share my restoration process with you all.
I have read with interest your blog. I am a long time fan of the Citroen DS, having driven one back in 73 in Canada - Citroens are no longer sold here but a few are available, restorable or not, usually from the States! What you have done is far beyond my mechanical ability, but I admire your dedication, particularly in view of the small garage you have to work in. Well done! I should say I am an expat from 1966, now living in New Brunswick, Canada. This car should be "reissued" with some modifications to simplify and make it more durable (not it's strongest point -maintenance was always needed more than average). But not a crap clone like the VW Beetle, the Mini, and the Fiat 500 which are but shadows of their former selves. Once again - well done! Roger rdainton2@bellaliant.net
