1948 Citroen Traction Avant Light 15

General marque information - A landmark in the history of the motor car. Citroën's Traction Avant was launched in 1934 with a long list of innovative features. From the front-wheel drive layout. monocoque construction. hydraulic brakes. independent front suspension. rack and pinion steering and torsion bars to the modern. low-slung styling devoid of running boards or superfluous ornamentation. the new model was a trendsetter that ultimately remained in production for more than two decades. Although offered in a myriad of different body types and mechanical specifications. the original 11CV (or Light 15 as it was dubbed in England) with the 1911cc four-cylinder engine and Berline (saloon) coachwork proved the most enduring. Post-war cars were updated with wing-mounted indicators. a larger boot and straight bumpers in 1952. while the 11D model of 1955 had 60 horsepower thanks to repositioned rockers. improving acceleration and top speed. Tractions were also built in Belgium and in England at Slough. the latter with Lucas 12-volt electrics. leather upholstery and regarded as better equipped than their French counterparts. With a cult following around the world. the Traction Avant is an excellent proposition as a classic car today - the excellent ride. handling and braking mean it can be enjoyed in company with modern traffic.
