Andre Trigano really liked the Traction, he owned a convertible, a coupe and many saloons. The serial number of this 11BL dates it back from 1952, while the first registration number on the title document is dated from the 18th July 1955. The engine block is the right type and dates from March 1952. The car has had a major restoration, the bodywork was repainted in the traditional black colour and the openings are well aligned. Bodywork seals have been changed and the chrome redone. Inside, the cloth upholstery was restored, as well as the headliner. The engine bay benefited from the same care and the electrical circuit was redone in 6V.

Only the indicators on the quarter panels are a different version from the original. Fitted with 4 Michelin tyres in almost-new condition, this 11BL benefited from a meticulous restoration that highlights the balanced design of its lightweight bodywork. An attractive example.

 

Please note all vehicles in this collection have barely been used in recent years, they are therefore sold as is, with no technical inspection; They will also need a major service before getting back on the road.
