Description
PLEASE NOTE: This lot is accompanied by two engines including the original (one of which is already overhauled); original three-speed gearbox; four-speed gearbox; interior trim; glass; etc.
It is believed to be a complete car.
Nearly every list of the most important automotive designs must surely include André Citroën's beloved Model 11 Traction Avant, which loosely translates to "Front-wheel drive".
The Traction Avant was introduced in 1934, just one year before André Citroën's passing.
The Model 11 BL was the smaller four-door sedan, with its front doors rear-hinged, so they would open "Suicide-style"; the rear doors opening conventionally.
The Traction Avant was notable in that it placed its wheels at the extreme corners of the monocoque chassis, providing good stability and a comfortable ride.
Its 1.9-litre overhead-valve four-cylinder engine, three-speed gearbox (mounted ahead of the engine), and torsion-bar front suspension were affixed to a separate steel subframe.
