1937 Citroen Traction 11BL Cabriolet For Sale by Auction

Dutch title
Chassis #372149
Engine #DG 02061

- Authentic convertible Traction
- Beautiful restoration
- Perfect mechanical condition

Marketed on the 13 July 1937, the Traction cabriolet on offer is the 11 BL model, imported from Germany by its previous owner. Having been completely restored in 2012 in Germany, the car is in perfect condition and has travelled only 2, 000 km since the work was done. The engine benefited from a complete overhaul including the gearbox. Brakes were redone and the exhaust line replaced. All this work done with great care makes it a safe car ready to take on the road. In order to improve its usability, the previous owner got a 12V electrical circuit fitted, along with an alternator. The interior was carefully treated in the same way with a refurbishment of the red leather upholstery, carpets and the mounting of a Quillery steering wheel, as well as a Becker Mexico radio. Painted with an elegant two-tone colour combination, red for the body and black for the wings, this Traction is equipped with a spider which has seen the rear seats disappeared in favor of a loading volume increase due to practicality. The chrome is also in excellent condition. The car comes with a big file including the certificate of authenticity for this model. Innovative for its time, elegant, reliable and powerful, this convertible Traction is one of the most versatile models built before World War 2.
