Seller's comments about 1949' Citroen Traction Avant
1949 Traction Avant built in Slough and delivered to South Africa with chassis #132268.
This car was taken off the road in 1976 and I acquired it in 2005 in Johannesburg. Around 2007 I started to restore her. Exempt on the floorpan there was no rust at all and the floor was subsequently redone and treated to best possible way. The body was repainted while still living in Johannesburg by a reputable company. The Front-axle was overhauled by the Citroen Doyen, Steve Le Roux in Walkerville JBN and modern, maintenance-free universal joints were fitted.
Engine #10550187 4MPVB78, although not the original was redone and the gearbox too. The clutch was replaced by a modified VW LT unit supplied by well known Citroen specialist Christian Heussi Switzerland.
The electrical system totally overhauled/rewired and with new directional lights combined with the old trafficators type restored to working-condition.....!
The dash-board redone in Sapele/Mahogany wood (the old one still available!) The interior has been reupholstered with genuine leather just like the original. Tyres all brand new Michelin 165R400 X including spare. There are a number of tool, spares and a original workshop-manual in english as well as even the original documents and registrations plate. (the air-intake was collected at La Verte Vidame at the Tractions 80 anniversary)
The car is in very good condition and I am selling it due to health issues and relocating.
price drop!
