1953 CITROEN Traction 11 B

Citroën Traction Avant 11 B – 1953 – Original Condition – Restoration Project

I am offering for sale this Citroën Traction Avant 11 B, Series B, from 1953, preserved in its original state and constituting an excellent restoration base for an enthusiast or collector.

A bit of its history

I acquired this Traction from an elderly gentleman in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, who had been keeping it for many years.

The car was handed over to me with its original documents, including a prefectural document bearing its former registration number 1506 AX 78, as well as documentation dedicated to the Traction Avant.

It is a car that I wished to preserve in its original state. It now displays genuine patina, whilst notably featuring a particularly well-preserved interior.

Condition

The vehicle is sold in its current state, requiring restoration and mechanical recommissioning.

The bodywork displays original patina, oxidation marks and various defects related to its age. The roof lining also shows signs of age.

The vehicle is therefore not presented as ready to take to the road.

The appeal of this Traction lies precisely in its authenticity, its relatively complete state, its well-preserved interior and the original documents that accompany it.

I prefer to hand it over to an enthusiast or collector who will know how to breathe new life into it whilst preserving its character and continuing its story.
