Description
For sale: Citroën Traction Avant 11 BL, known as the 11 Légère, dated 06/ 01/ 1955. MOT passed 02/ 2023, no advisories. Historic vehicle registration document in my name, engine and chassis numbers match, Aventure Peugeot Citroën DS certificate. Car is original and unmodified; it has a 6-volt system with transistorised ignition, which is reversible. Non-smoker. Kept in a dry garage. LED lighting, also reversible. The previous owner kept it for 35 years in running order. It starts and drives very well, and I take it on outings of up to 200 km. Cosmetically it is in largely original, as-found condition but presents very well, with sound bodywork. Restoration work: I have replaced all door, boot and external hatch seals with new ones (a few minor bodywork faults, fairly easy to put right). The underbody, sills, front inner wings and the insides of the doors have been preventively treated with Rustol anti-rust. Regular servicing, with all fluids replaced in 2023: engine oil, gearbox oil, coolant, and brake bleed. Mechanically in excellent condition: valve clearances adjusted, ignition timing set, clutch, driveshaft and radiator attended to, rear silencer already replaced, brakes rebuilt. Added oil pressure and engine temperature gauges. Fuel tank in excellent condition, with an additional filter. Tyres in very good condition (manufactured 2018), spare wheel in good condition with a new inner tube. OPTIONS AND EQUIPMENT. Exterior: sold with its auxiliary heater and starting crank handle; many new parts with purchase invoices. Interior and comfort: interior very clean and cleaned, new boot carpet; many new parts with purchase invoices; added engine thermometer and oil pressure gauge. I will include the technical documentation and spare parts with the car. Contact by email for questions and additional photos if interested.
