Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

If Back To The Future had been made in the 1960s rather than the 80s, Michael J Fox would have driven a Citroen DS - no question. At the 1955 Paris Motor Show, the DS didnt just raise a few eyebrows - it genuinely stunned its audience.It also set a new benchmark for automotive design in the post-war, space-age era, introducing engineering and aesthetic breakthroughs that went on to influence designers and engineers for decades to come. No wonder 12,000 advance orders were taken.It got its futuristic good looks from designer Flaminio Bertoni. The French aeronautical engineer Andre Lefebvre styled and engineered the car. The Paul Mages-developed hydropneumatic suspension might appear complex but it is very well engineered and incredibly reliable.This is an incredibly low mileage DS21 in truly exceptional condition - a beautiful, highly original, genuine car. It has its original leather seats which are still in very good condition, and its original carpets.The bodywork looks to be completely rust free, and we are told the car has never seen a welders torch in its life, nor has it had any replacement panels fitted.When the current enthusiast owner bough the car in 1995 the metallic paint was wearing thin so he had the car resprayed to a very high standard by a UK based classic car specialist.A once in a lifetime chance to acquire a much-loved, iconic, low mileage Citroen DS in stunning, original condition, that has genuinely wanted for absolutely nothing during its charmed life.
