The
`68 Citroen shape for £1339
This is it. A dynamic new shape. The Citroën shape for '68 - and into the 70's. Wings, bonnet, bumper blending into one long, low, lovely line. To give Citroëns their first major shape change in 12 years. To lift Citroën design still further ahead to a supercar level.
But shape's not the only change. Citroën's new sleeked-out frontal line takes in a new and revolutionary four headlamp system. Two dipping headlights. Two long distance lights.
New shape and new lamps are what you get in every new Citroën in the '68 range. Including the low-priced beauty lighting up this page. The ID 19 Confort. The 100 mph, 30 mpg Citroën with power-operated brakes, Citroën air-cushion suspension, fully reclining seats.
A super Citroën that sells for only £1339 (and with power-assisted steering at under £1400).
And the rest of the range? DS models from £1598. Safari estate cars from £1798. Super-luxury DS Pallas models from £1798.
On Pallas models, as well as automatically self-levelling main headlights, you get quartz iodinelong-distance driving lights that are automatically directionally controlled. This means they literally turn with the wheels to light around any corner you're taking. There's not a car in the world as sophisticatedly far-seeing as that.
