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 body is a metal coachbuilt construction, validated by its registration document with the note “cabriolet.”
It perfectly embodies the refinement of the 1930s, marrying timeless design with the technical innovations of its era.
Why this Traction is a rare opportunity:
Clear status: Normal registration document with the note "cabriolet".
Bodywork: This is not a kit, but a high-quality coachbuilt body — a mark of seriousness for collectors.
Careful restoration: Fully restored between 2004 and 2005, it presents in an elegant classic British Racing Green finish.
Healthy and reliable mechanicals: Its subframes are sound and it is well maintained. It is ready to hit the road, with only a minor defect (rack gaiter) noted on the MOT.
Period details: Fitted with the aluminium ROBRI rocker cover, a prized vintage option.
