Introduced in 1934, the Traction Avant is considered one of the most mythical cars of the 20th century. Designed by a genius Italian sculptor Flaminio Bertoni, it owes its genesis to an audacious industrialist, André Citroën, who will bet everything on it and ruin himself at its creation. In addition to the front wheel drive system, it will also offer an all-steel body without a chassis and many technical innovations. It will become a true national symbol during its 27-year career. 80 years later and on the day of the brand's 100th anniversary, Citroën's enthusiasts and collectors have never been so numerous.
Rare are the Traction still in original condition and having known only one owner. This is the case of this 11 BL from 1954, which was bought new in Paris by the Rochet family in 1954. It’s former owner’s daughter in law told us that her husband remembered as a child, going up to Paris to pick up the brand-new car It is presented here in its original configuration, black and with grey fabric. She has only known two drivers in 65 years and now totals just under 57,000 real kilometers. It was partially restored in 1991, with the refurbishment of the upholstery, the installation of a ID 19 engine, and the refurbishment of the body. Recently a new roof was installed, and the brakes were overhauled. During our test, the car was pleasant to drive. There was a slight vibration of the clutch, which did not affect the proper functioning of the vehicle. The mechanics are valiant, and the brakes are efficient. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Traction 11 BL with a known history and in good condition, ready for the Sunday ride or to take you to the end of the world!

This car will be sold by auction by AGUTTES Auction House, in La Ferté-Vidame, at the Citroën Centenary, France, on July the 21th, 2019.
