062 Citroen DS21 (1966) HNB 145 D by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Citroen DS21 Convertible (2nd Series) (1955-75) Engine 2175cc S4 OHV Production 1,415,719 (all DS) Production 1,455,746 (all models Worldwide) (1,330,755 France) Registration Number HNB 145 D (Manchester) Citroen ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/albums/72157623776731490/ After an eighteen year developement the DS was unveiled at the 1955 Paris Motorshow, styled by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni it had an aerodynamic body design and innovative technology, including hydro pneumatic self levelling suspension. Initially deemed expensive the DS was joined by a cheaper less technical ID model in 1957. The DS was third in the 1999 Car of the Century and during it's twenty year production sold nearly 1.5 million. In 1962 the DS received a more streamlined nose to increase the aerodynamic efficiency, still retaining the the round head lights. In 1967 a second restyle brought in the streamlined covered lights on this example. The design had a pair of lights under each cover, the inner set swivelled with the steering wheel to allow drivers to see hazards on turns, this was not allowed in the USA at the time so a version with four exposed fixed head lamps was made for the US market. In 1965 a luxury upgrade, the DS Pallas (after Greek goddess Pallas), was introduced. This included comfort features such as better noise insulation, a more luxurious (and optional leather) upholstery and external trim embellishments. From 1966 the Pallas model received a driver's seat with height adjustment The DS was successful in motorsports like rallying, where sustained speeds on poor surfaces are paramount, winning the 1959 Monte Carlo Rally, the 1962 1000 Lakes (Finland) where Pauli Toivonen drove a DS19 to victory. A DS was awarded victory in the 1966 Monte Carlo Rally after being soundly beaten by the competitive BMC Mini-Cooper team who were disqualified over a technicality with their lights. Robert Neyret won the Rallye du Maroc in 1969 and 1970 in a DS 21 A DS also won the 1974 London-Sahara-Munich World Cup Rally, Diolch am 97,183,139 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.
