French elegance
The Citroën Traction is a true icon in automotive history.
Widely recognised, it remains an authentic Madeleine de Proust for enthusiasts (especially French).
A witness to a bygone era and the undeniable influence of French engineering on the automobile, it is also one of the few cars to have survived World War II (the 7 was marketed from 1934, while the final 15/ 6 Series H left Javel in 1956).
Having just benefited from substantial work in our workshops, the Traction 11 B illustrated on this page is today presented in excellent overall condition, ready to hit the road for a Sunday drive or long-distance trips.
In this elegant cream scheme, this Traction will surely win smiles and rekindle many memories on the roads of our beautiful country.
The most French of French cars awaits you to write the next lines of its history, which began on a January day in 1953…
