Chassis 4350064 is a Citroën DS cabriolet bodied by Henri Chapron as part of the official 'cabriolet de série' programme produced in collaboration with Citroën from 1960 onwards. Delivered to Chapron's Levallois-Perret atelier on 11 October 1965 under order number 8910, it was subsequently registered in France on 23 December 1965 and delivered new to Bordeaux. A 1966 model-year example, it carries the larger 2,175 cc engine while retaining the open headlamp treatment of earlier cars, and is fitted with the optional Jaeger dashboard. Finished in Royal Blue over natural hide, the car is presented in restored condition.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
