Description
CITROËN - Traction 11B - Year 1952 - French vehicle registration document - Chassis number: 221949 - EF05133 - 4-cylinder engine - Manual gearbox - Odometer reading: 15,469 km (not guaranteed) - Roadworthy - MOT . Unveiled in 1934, the Citroën Traction Avant is one of the most significant French cars of the 20th century. Revolutionary at the time of its launch, it incorporated several technical solutions that were particularly modern for the era: front-wheel drive, a monocoque body, a lowered centre of gravity and independent suspension. All these innovations gave it remarkable road holding and contributed to its exceptional longevity. The 11 B is one of the iconic versions in the range. Powered by the Citroën four-cylinder engine and recognisable by its characteristic low-slung silhouette, it was a familiar sight on French roads for many years, both in peacetime and throughout the war years and the post-war period. The example we are offering for sale dates from 1952. It currently has 15,469 km on the odometer – a mileage that is not guaranteed – and is in running order. Its bodywork bears ‘FFI’ markings added at a later date, reminiscent of the vehicles used by the French Forces of the Interior during the Liberation. The paintwork shows signs of wear, with a few small chips, marks and slight scratches. Mechanically, the brake calipers will need to be serviced. An iconic example of post-war French motoring, whose silhouette remains inextricably linked to the history of France.
