Description
CITROËN TRACTION 11 BL LIGHT SALOON WITH BOOT 1953 VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: 633241 The 1953 Citroën Traction 11 BL Light Saloon with boot perfectly embodies post-war French automotive elegance and innovation. Produced by Citroën, the Traction Avant left a lasting mark on automotive history thanks to its innovative technical solutions, notably its front-wheel drive and remarkable road holding. In its 11 BL version, known as the ‘Berline Légère’, this car combines an elegant and timeless silhouette with a four-cylinder engine offering an excellent balance between smoothness and performance for its time. The model, fitted with a rear boot, stands out for its practicality whilst retaining the iconic lines for which the Traction is renowned. The year 1953 marked a particularly interesting period in the Traction Avant’s history, as the model continued to establish itself as a benchmark on French roads. Today, a Traction 11 BL from this period represents far more than just a classic car: it stands as a true testament to French industrial expertise and the post-war automotive revival. Video of its four-cylinder engine running, available on request. Photo gallery available on request. Several invoices available on request (2022 to 2026: over 1,400 euros). French vehicle registration document (Carte Grise) included. The roadworthiness test dated 12/08/2026 was passed (available on request). 17,000 km on the odometer
