A symbol of an entire era, the Citroën Traction has become a myth of the French automobile. Built between 1934 and 1957, its recognizable silhouette marked the lives of French people before, during and after the war. When it was launched, it replaced the Rosalie to great advantage and, as is often the case in the history of the brand, it offered highly innovative technical developments for its time: monocoque body, aerodynamic work and front wheel drive. Recognized as a reference in terms of road handling, the Traction offered a driving pleasure far superior to the classic vehicles with rear-wheel drive and separate chassis.
The Citroën Traction 11 BL that we offer for sale is powered by an inline 4-cylinder engine developing 56 horsepower, allowing it to approach 120 km/h. It is also equipped with a 3-speed gearbox, rack and pinion steering and 4 drum brakes.
Its current owner, a passionate man, acquired it in 1989 in Aurillac. It had 79600 km on the odometer at that time. He drove it very regularly and, for the beautiful story, his Traction also accompanied all his daughters to their wedding. Today, after more than 30 years of pleasure, he wishes to part with it because he no longer has the opportunity to drive it.
Note that this Traction has been classified as a collector's vehicle in September 2021. A new registration certificate has therefore been issued.
The vehicle has been completely renovated externally and internally, both in bodywork to give it back its original appearance, and mechanically to allow its perfect functioning.
Following an engine failure, in January 2004, at 84748 km, the block was changed. The version with connecting rods on bearings was implemented in replacement of the 11 Perfo engine.
No work to be done. A general overhaul of the car was done in January 2022: brake overhaul with adjustment, replacement of the 2 front wheel cylinders, change of the central indicators, rotation of the 4 wheels (degree of wear of the tires of 40%, new tire on the spare wheel), recent engine and gearbox oil changes.
There are no defects, but like all vehicles of this era, there is a very slight oil seepage on the underbody of the vehicle
