Description
Splendid Citroën DS Chapron Convertible, a handcrafted replica built in 2014 with DS 21 carbureted mechanics, 4-speed manual gearbox and power steering.
The original specifications used by Henri Chapron, the famous coachbuilder who in the 1960s transformed DS sedans into elegant cabriolet versions, were followed with extreme fidelity.
This car is one of the most accurate and well-executed replicas on the market, perfectly homologated as a DS cabriolet: the word “replica” does not appear in the documents. The vehicle also retains its original 1971 license plate, an element of great historical value.
Work and Conversion
The chassis was properly reinforced according to Chapron specifications, a necessary condition for re-registration and testing.
During the conversion, the following were completely rebuilt:
- mechanics
- hydraulic system
- interior
- retractable soft top
bringing the car to as-new condition.
After the restoration, the DS has been used very little and always kept in a garage: no rust or critical points whatsoever.
Details Faithfully Reproduced According to Chapron
This is not a simple DS convertible derived from a sedan:
all the typical Chapron details have been replicated with great accuracy, including:
• Dedicated doors with specific shape and structure
• Extended rear bonnet with Chapron profile
• Original Chapron badges
• Interior finished in Chapron style
• Fully retractable soft top
• Single jack lifting point (instead of the two used on the sedan)
• Chapron rear light units
• Period-correct exterior color
• Many other finely crafted details that make it indistinguishable from an original
General Condition
- Bodywork: excellent
- Interior: as new
- Mechanics completely overhauled in 2014
- Hydraulic system rebuilt
- Soft top perfect, smooth operation
- No corrosion
- Always stored indoors
The quality of the work is immediately evident when seen in person.
Documentation
- Original 1971 license plate
- Registration booklet issued in 2014 at the time of the conversion
- Correctly homologated as a DS Cabriolet
