CITROËN TRACTION 11BL CABRIOLET: The French icon in cabriolet form
We are offering this magnificent and rare 1938 Citroën Traction 11BL Cabriolet.
This vehicle is not kit-built: its cabriolet bodywork is a sheet-metal construction, validated by the registration document with the mention 'cabriolet'.
It perfectly embodies the refinement of the 1930s, combining timeless design with the technical innovations of its era.
Why this Traction is a rare opportunity:
Clear status: Standard registration with the note 'cabriolet'.
Bodywork: It is not a kit, but a quality construction, a hallmark of seriousness for collectors.
Careful restoration: Fully restored between 2004 and 2005, it presents an elegant classic English Green colour.
Mechanical condition: Sound and reliable underpinnings, well maintained. It is ready to hit the road; only a minor defect (steering rack gaiter) noted on the MOT.
Period details: Fitted with the aluminium ROBRI rocker cover, a prized vintage option.
