The Citroën Traction Avant was manufactured from 1934 to 1957
with approximately 760. 00 units produced. The Traction Avant. br/>French for 'front-wheel drive'. was designed by André Lefèbvre and
Flaminio Bertoni in late 1933. While not the first produced
front-wheel drive car. it was the world's first front-wheel drive. br/>steel monocoque production car and successfully pioneered
front-wheel drive on the European mass car market. This method of
construction was viewed with great suspicion in many quarters with
doubts about its strength. Consequently. an unusual type of crash
test was conceived in the form of driving the car off a cliff to
demonstrate just how robust it was. Lefthand drive versions were
built in Paris. Belgium and also Denmark; righthand drive cars in
Slough. England. The Slough version was called the Light Fifteen
and the long wheelbase model became the Big 15.

The vendor acquired this charming example from a personal friend
who had loaned it to him for his daughter's wedding. Appropriately
enough. he was a Citroën mechanic and ran a not inconsiderable
dealership in Buckinghamshire. It was comprehensively restored by
the previous owner including external paint. interior and engine. br/>although no invoices exist to substantiate this. Also included in
the sale are a number of spares including a cylinder head. gearbox. br/>windscreen. grill and bonnet. With just three recorded owners. this
Light 15 runs well and comes complete with a new battery. buff log
book and MoT test certificate valid until July
2016.
