Description
1953 Citroën Traction 15 Six AEAT French registration document Chassis number: 722543 - Genuine AEAT convertible - In the same family since 1970 - Extensive collection of period photographs Among the rarest and most sought-after variants is the convertible version produced by AEAT (Automobiles et Établissements Ansart et Teisseire), of which very few remain in production today. These particularly elegant conversions lend the Traction an even more exclusive character and have long appealed to the most discerning collectors. The example offered for sale is of particular interest in this regard, as it is a genuine 15 Six AEAT convertible. Even more remarkable is the fact that this car has been in the same family since 1970, meaning it has been preserved within the same household for over half a century. During this long period of ownership, the family gradually carried out a thorough restoration. Whilst the relevant invoices have unfortunately not been retained, the car’s overall condition clearly bears witness to the care taken in its preservation and the work carried out over the years. This Traction is accompanied by a valuable collection of period photographs, allowing us to trace part of its family history and document its journey over the decades. The file also includes a recent invoice, dated 2026, for an amount of around €2,000, attesting to work carried out recently to get the car back on the road. Rare for its bodywork, appealing for its history and particularly endearing for its family provenance, this Citroën Traction 15 Six AEAT convertible represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive variants of the legendary Traction Avant. 1953 Citroën Traction 15 Six AEAT French Vehicle Registration Certificate Serial Number: 722543 - Genuine AEAT convertible - In the same family since 1970 - Extensive collection of period photographs Among the rarest and most sought-after variants is the convertible version produced by AEAT (Automobiles et Établissements Ansart et Teisseire), of which production remains limited to this day.
