1955 Citroën Traction Avant 11BL

Highlights

  • Very original version, extremely well preserved inside and out
  • Apparently in very good running and driving condition

The Appeal

A pioneer in the use of front-wheel drive, rack-and-pinion steering, monocoque construction and independent suspension, the Citroën Traction Avant was quite simply revolutionary. For obvious reasons, these cars are immensely sought after among collectors and are also considered to be among the most practical classic cars of their time.
Offered in a fantastic state of preservation, this late model four cylinder Traction Avant 11BL is in immaculate condition and is reported to be in very good driving order. Free from MOT and ready to be enjoyed by its future owner, this Citroën would make a fantastic addition to any collection.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance.
