Description
Citroen ID
At the end of 1956, the Citroën ID (idée) was presented to the public. In appearance, this car was roughly the same as the DS, but it was a 'stripped down' variant for price-technical reasons with simpler technology, less engine power and a more sober design. The car was aimed at a less wealthy and more conservative audience. The ID returned to a clutch pedal and a normal gear lever, allowing for a significantly simplified hydraulic system and the advanced hydraulically-assisted brakes were operated by a 'normal' brake pedal. The futuristic nylon dashboard was replaced by a more commonplace (steel) design for the time. The cheapest version, specifically for the French domestic market, the ID 'Normale' did not even have power steering, a loss that had to be compensated for by an extra large steering wheel. The export models and the later, increasingly luxurious versions of the ID (from 1970: D Spécial; D Super and D Super 5) did have power steering and other features of the DS, but - except in the station wagons, the 'break' - no 'brake mushroom' and the hydraulic semi-automatic provision for coupling and shifting remained reserved for the DS.

This Citroen D-super has a beautiful metallic blue color with a red interior. This combination looks great on the car. Otherwise this is a beautifully restored Citroen and under the hood you see a clean and dry engine that runs very well. The brakes, steering and gearbox shift as it should. All in all a fantastic D-super!
