This isn?t just a car. It?s a resurrection?done properly. DS21 Chapron Cabriolet (1966) Rebuilt. Reborn. Recognised. There are rare cars. And then there are cars that survive against the odds. This 1966 DS21 Chapron Cabriolet is one of them. Originally delivered in October 1966 and coach built by Henri Chapron, this example carries authentic provenance confirmed by Chapron certification and recognised by Citroën Heritage itself . A true factory-era cabriolet?built when elegance still required human hands. But what sets this car apart is not just its origin. It?s the integrity of its second life. A Proper Rebuild?Not a Compromise The original chassis, like many of its era, could not be saved. So it wasn?t patched. It wasn?t hidden. It was replaced. Rebuilt on a new chassis, this DS21 retains its identity while gaining the structural integrity these cars rarely enjoy today. The result is exactly what collectors quietly look for: Authentic Chapron coachwork Verified history and registration dating back to 1967 A car you can actually drive?with confidence This is not a fragile museum piece. It?s a usable icon. Provenance Meets Recognition This isn?t a restoration lost in paperwork. Certified Chapron build (#9072) with documented production details Citroën collector recognition and archival acknowledgement Registered historic vehicle (Oldtimer status) Award-winning condition?judged, seen, and appreciated In a world where many DS cabriolets are recreations or uncertain conversions, this one stands on documented ground. Why This Matters Out of roughly 1,365 DS cabriolets produced, survival is limited?and correct examples even more so . Most available today ask you to choose: originality or usability history or reliability This car refuses that compromise. The Experience Long bonnet. Floating ride. Roof down, silence above, hydraulics beneath. A DS doesn?t drive like anything else. A Chapron Cabriolet amplifies that into theatre. And this one? It does it without apology. Rebuilt where necessary. Preserved where it matters. A DS21 Chapron Cabriolet for those who understand the difference.
