Citroën DS 21 Berline Chapron 'Majesty' (LHD)
Citroën DS 21 Berline Chapron 'Majesty' (LHD)
Henri Chapron's interpretations of the Citroën DS and ID were quite different from the regular production versions. Chapron added fins to the rear wing tops of Citroëns as early as 1965 and launched his own version of an upmarket DS at the Porte de Versailles Salon de l'Auto in October 1964 using the name 'Majesty'. The 'Majesty's' purpose was to satisfy the few customers who considered the upmarket DS Prestige insufficiently exclusive, although that too was built by Chapron for Citroën.
The Majesty featured a higher and more angular roofline compared to the factory DS, similar to the 'Concorde' coach, affording increased headroom for the rear passengers and greater interior space. This limited edition model was produced up to 1969 with just 27 examples being built in total. Only the last three were equipped with the new-for-1969 front end that incorporated directional headlights, this car being one of this exclusive trio.
Our Majesty is finished in 'Midnight Blue' and like most of Chapron's creations features additional exterior trim, such as the chromed sill shields and polished aluminium wheel covers. It is equipped with the hydraulically actuated gearbox with lever on the dashboard, this car also boasts Jaeger circular gauges and an air conditioning system. The lower dash is hand-painted to original specification in a faux burl wood finish and varnished, while the seats and door panels are trimmed in Havana beige leather in a Pullman finish, which is complemented by thick brown woollen carpeting.
