• Iconic Citroën Traction Avant with revolutionary front-wheel drive • 6-cylinder "15 Six H" version – smooth and comfortable driving • Professional restoration with authenticity respected • Classic presentation in black with timeless elegance • Complete documentation with numerous service invoices and history The Citroën Traction Avant ranks among the most influential and revolutionary motorcars in history. When it was introduced in the 1930s, it marked a genuine breakthrough thanks to its monocoque bodywork, independent suspension and above all its front-wheel drive – technologies far ahead of their time. The 15 Six H version, equipped with a powerful 6-cylinder engine, is renowned for its exceptional comfort and remarkable road holding. Whilst many of its contemporaries still offered heavy and traditional driving, the Traction Avant already provided a stability and smoothness that still impress today. This 1954 example benefited from a professional restoration in the past and presents itself today as an authentic classic full of character. Its black paintwork and original interior give the car an elegant appearance faithful to its era. With comprehensive documentation including numerous service invoices, Dutch registration papers and spare keys, this represents an interesting opportunity for the enthusiast seeking a usable classic with historical significance.
