A truly exceptional and extraordinarily rare classic, this 1964 Citroën Safari estate, registration HMK 6B, represents one of the most distinctive and innovative family cars of its era. Built at Citroën’s Slough factory and first registered on 1st July 1964, it is a genuine UK-supplied, right-hand drive example of the iconic DS/ID Safari – a model produced in very limited numbers and now seldom seen on the road.Finished in an elegant blue, HMK 6B perfectly captures the futuristic spirit that made the DS such a sensation, combined with the remarkable practicality of the Safari estate body. The Slough-built cars featured unique British-market details including 12-volt electrics and distinctive interior trim, adding further interest and rarity to an already special model.The car benefits from a well-documented and enthusiast-led history. It has enjoyed long-term ownership in the past, careful maintenance and restoration work over the years, including an engine rebuild and a sympathetic body restoration in its original colour. More recently it has been recommissioned by a Citroën specialist, with attention given to the hydraulic system and associated components to ensure the car performs exactly as intended, delivering the legendary ride quality that defines the DS.Inside, the leather interior has been carefully and sympathetically repaired in order to preserve its original patinated charm. Rather than over-restored, the cabin retains the character, texture and authenticity that only time can create, offering a wonderfully evocative driving environment complete with the signature single-spoke steering wheel and expansive glasshouse.This vehicle will be supplied by Classicwise and, for complete peace of mind, will undergo a major service and be sold with a fresh MOT. HMK 6B presents today as a beautifully preserved and mechanically sorted example of a rare British-built Safari. With its combination of innovation, comfort, rarity and unmistakable style, it offers a unique opportunity to acquire a highly collectible and immensely usable classic Citroën that stands apart from the ordinary.Why not book a viewing, Our Coffee Pot is always hot!.
