1969 Citroën DS 21 Chapron Majesty – One of Three Built, Coach-Bodied by Henri Chapron, Restored by Vincent Crescia

Offered for sale is an extraordinary 1969 Citroën DS 21 Chapron Majesty—an ultra-rare, coach-built masterpiece that represents the pinnacle of French automotive artistry. With just 11,700 miles and three owners from new, this example is one of only three ever constructed in this specific configuration, featuring directional headlights and bespoke design elements that set it apart from any standard DS.

Coachbuilding Legacy & Design
Hand-built by legendary coachbuilder Henri Chapron, the Majesty was introduced at the Porte de Versailles Salon de l’Auto in 1964 as a more exclusive alternative to the DS Prestige. Chapron’s interpretation of the DS was far more than a cosmetic exercise—he reimagined the car’s proportions, added signature rear wing fins, and infused each build with a level of craftsmanship reserved for the most discerning clientele.

This particular Majesty showcases Chapron’s vision in full, with elegant lines, refined detailing, and a commanding presence. The directional headlights, a rare and desirable feature, enhance both aesthetics and functionality, while the Jaeger dashboard with wood-veneer trim adds a layer of sophistication to the cabin.

Restoration & Mechanical Excellence
Restored by Vincent Crescia—widely regarded as the world’s foremost Citroën restorer—this DS 21 has been brought back to its original glory with uncompromising attention to detail. The 2,175cc engine delivers smooth, confident performance, paired with a semi-automatic transmission that reflects the innovative spirit of Citroën engineering.

Every mechanical component has been addressed to ensure reliability and drivability, making this car not only a showpiece but also a pleasure to drive. The restoration preserves the car’s authenticity while enhancing its usability for modern roads.

Interior & Features
Inside, the Majesty offers a luxurious experience with its unique Jaeger dashboard, wood-veneer accents, and carefully curated materials. The cabin is a testament to Chapron’s dedication to elegance and comfort, offering a driving environment that feels both regal and intimate.

Provenance & Collectibility
With its coach-built pedigree, ultra-low production numbers, and restoration by a globally respected expert, this DS 21 Chapron Majesty stands as a potential Pebble Beach candidate. It is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of automotive history that embodies exclusivity, innovation, and timeless design.

Summary
This 1969 Citroën DS 21 Chapron Majesty is more than a classic—it’s a rolling sculpture, a symbol of French luxury, and a testament to the artistry of Henri Chapron. Offered by a private seller, it is ready for concours events, museum display, or the collection of a true connoisseur.
