Comentários do vendedor sobre 1955' Citroen Traction
This car was bought new in 1955 and driven for 3 years at which point it had covered 36,000 kilometres. Unfortunately the owner then died but his widow kept the car in dry storage until the mid-eighties when it was sold the the second owner. He used it as a wedding car, covering a further 11,000 kilometres then sold it to me. Getting into this car and driving it feels like getting into a 5 year old car. The gear change is silky smooth, all the hinges are tight and everything clicks and clunks as it should. The key even stays in the ignition. A very rare find.
The car is in very good original condition. There is surface rust on chrome as you would expect. The only items I think are not right are the bumpers which look to be from a 6 cylinder TA. It retains its original 6 volt electrics which work flawlessly. The car passed a Controle Technique (French MOT which lasts for two years) in January this year.
I will be selling the car registered in the UK. It is tax and MOT exempt in the UK and insurance is very low. So comfortable, fast stylish motoring for a pittance.
It is a very pretty car and lovely to drive like all TA's. It feels perfectly happy in modern traffic and especially loves twisty bumpy back roads. It is with good reason that this car is labelled "floating power". Designed in the 30's and still very striking today. With a string of firsts: first mass produced unitary body shell and hydraulic brakes, gearbox in front of longitudinal engine etc.
