1969 Citroën DS 21 Majesty by Henri Chapron
- Colour
- Midnight Blue
A rare coachbuilt Citroën DS 21 saloon bodied by Henri Chapron under the 'Majesty' designation, one of only 27 such vehicles produced between 1964 and 1969. Distinguishing this example further, it is among the final three Majesties constructed and therefore carries the revised 1969 nose incorporating directional headlights. The body features a taller, more angular roofline for enhanced rear-passenger space, chrome sill shields, and polished aluminium wheel covers, while the interior is finished in Havana beige leather with a hand-painted faux burl wood dashboard. The car was comprehensively restored by a Citroën specialist prior to its 2009 Bonhams sale.
