Description
Citroën Traction 11BL Cabriolet 1938 - French Retro Elegance This 1938 Citroën Traction 11BL Cabriolet embodies the timeless elegance of the 1930s, combining refined design with the technical innovations of its era.
Carefully restored between 2004 and 2005, it is presented today in a distinguished and classic English green colour. With a registration document marked "cabriolet", this Traction is fitted with an aluminium cylinder head, a period option appreciated for its advantages in terms of lightness and heat dissipation.
The 2+2 seating configuration ensures a high level of comfort for the driver and passengers. At its last technical inspection, only one minor defect was noted concerning the rack and pinion bellows, which testifies to the attention paid to its regular maintenance. History: This vehicle belonged for a long time to a couple from Carry le Rouet. The current owner acquired it in 2004 and embarked on a complete restoration, respecting the codes of the original model.
Since then it has been maintained and driven regularly, but its paintwork now has a few imperfections.
