To kick off a full year of celebrations, the newly established DS premium brand will be showcasing selected models from six decades at the first ever London Classic Car Show which takes place at the ExCel International Exhibition Centre in London's Docklands, from 8-11 January 2015.
Two classic DS models will be on display on the DS show stand - a 1972 DS21 Prestige and an exceptionally rare 1966 DS21 Decapotable with coachwork by Henri Chapron. The DS 3 - shown in Ultra Prestige form - and a flagship DS 5 Hybrid4 will represent the current range.
Also there will be a 1967 Citroen ID21 Safari; a 1972 DS Group V rally prototype; Citroen's own 1961 ID19 (Reg. No. 57 EKX); and the DS 5 used by President Hollande of France at his inauguration.
The organisers of the new London Classic Car Show aim to build an event that will put London back on the classic car map, rivalling the top shows in Paris and Essen, by bringing together themes that have shaped the motor industry's incredible past.
Frederic Soulier, Managing Director, Citroen Motors Ireland says "The classic DS reaches an incredible landmark year in 2015. As we celebrate 60 years of DS - which it's fair to say has helped shape modern day motoring - it seems very fitting to start a year of celebrations at the London Classic Car Show."
DS has sold over 500,000 cars worldwide since the launch of DS 3 in 2010 with the multi-award winning DS 3 alone having sold over 320,000 examples.
