1951 CITROEN TRACTION 15/6 Serial number:... - Lot 33 - Osenat
1951 CITROEN TRACTION 15/6 Serial number: 705903 Engine: PR0057 / MO101 French registration Very good original condition 29 000 /32 000 When it was launched in 1934, the Citroën "Traction Avant" marked a turning point in the automotive world. The car's distinctive technical features included: monocoque bodywork, four independent wheels, lined engine, extraordinary roadholding, low-slung, aerodynamic lines and front-wheel drive with hydraulic brakes. In short, all the competition was light-years away! But if the Traction remains André Citroën's masterpiece, he owes this success to the engineer André Lefebvre, a former Avions Voisin employee, who designed the car. Throughout its career, the Traction never ceased to evolve, but always retained its original appearance. The Traction has existed in several versions and body styles. Early models were powered by a 7 hp four-cylinder engine, which evolved into an 11 hp unit. The top-of-the-range model was then powered by a six-cylinder 15HP engine. The Traction 15/6 was born. Available body styles included coupé, cabriolet, sedan, limousine and commercial. The model presented here is in one of its best-known color combinations: black paint and pale yellow wheels. The bodywork is in good condition, with some old paintwork. The interior is original and very well preserved. The mechanics had been completely overhauled by the Chauvet workshop between 2006 and 2009, during which time the car was converted to 12v and a power steering system was installed, transforming the driving experience. The engine runs smoothly and starts from a standing start, a testament to the quality of the work carried out. Before sale, the car was overhauled, the carburetors adjusted and the master cylinder replaced. This car is a great opportunity for anyone looking to acquire the queen of the road in her most desirable configuration. 1951 CITROEN TRACTION 15/6 Serial number: 705903 Engine: PR0057 / MO101 French registration Very good original condition 29 000 /32 000 When it was launched in 1934, the Citroën Traction Avant marked a turning point in the automotive world.
