Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This is a 1953 Citroen Traction Avant 11B that's been given a new lease on life with a DS19 engine and transaxle swap, plus a partial interior refresh. It presents well with its navy blue and dark green color scheme, but the older paint and some interior wear suggest it's a driver, not a show queen.

Condition 

6

The car has been refinished, reupholstered, and had significant mechanical work done. However, the paintwork is older, and there are some cosmetic imperfections and wear visible in the interior and on the wheels. The total mileage is unknown, and there are speakers fitted in the footwells and rear cabin, which may not be to everyone's taste. Therefore, it's somewhere between Good and Very Good.

Shown, TMU 1.9-Liter Inline-Four Four-Speed Manual Transaxle Navy Blue & Dark Green Paint Blue Mohair & Gray Vinyl Upholstery Yellow 400mm Pressed Steel Wheels
This 1953 Citroën Traction Avant 11B has been refinished in navy blue and dark green over light blue mohair and gray vinyl and fitted with the 1.9-liter inline-four and four-speed manual transaxle from a DS19.

Previously sold and acquired by the current owner in 2019, the car received approximately $26k in mechanical overhauls with Paul Heilig in California under current ownership.

This Traction Avant is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with a clean California title.

The Traction Avant paired unibody construction with front-wheel-drive to save weight and create a spacious passenger compartment with a flat floor.

The 11B “Normale” was the standard 121.7″ wheelbase version, and this example wears an older repaint in navy blue with dark green fenders.
