Description

• Iconic Citroën Traction Avant with revolutionary front-wheel drive
• 6-cylinder “15 Six H” version – smooth and comfortable driving experience
• Older professional restoration with preserved authenticity
• Classic black presentation with timeless elegance
• Extensive file with numerous maintenance invoices and history

The Citroën Traction Avant is one of the most influential and forward-thinking cars in automotive history. When it was introduced in the 1930s, it represented a true revolution thanks to its monocoque body, independent suspension and, most importantly, front-wheel drive – technologies that were far ahead of their time.

The 15 Six H version, equipped with a powerful 6-cylinder engine, is renowned for its exceptional comfort and stability. While many of its contemporaries still offered a heavy and traditional driving experience, the Traction Avant delivered road holding and smoothness that remain impressive even today.

This 1954 example underwent a professional restoration in the past and today presents itself as an honest and characterful classic. The black paintwork combined with its original interior gives the car an authentic and elegant appearance, perfectly in line with its historical significance.

With an extensive file including numerous maintenance invoices, Dutch registration papers and spare keys, this is a particularly interesting opportunity for an enthusiast looking for a drivable and historically important classic.

The Citroën Traction Avant is not only a technical pioneer, but also an icon of French automotive elegance – a model that continues to command admiration to this day.
