This Citroën Traction Avant 11 BL, built in 1950 and of Belgian production, is in good overall condition following a professional restoration. The car has 94,289 km on the odometer and is finished in grey, with the original chassis number 10A26196A clearly visible under the hood.
The bodywork has been resprayed and presents well, although signs of normal use are visible. The underside shows only superficial rust. The interior has been nicely restored, with carpets in very good condition.
The engine bay is correct and honest, with visible signs of an older restoration. The engine is original and has recently been serviced, although there is a slight oil leak. Fluid levels are correct, and the car is generally well maintained.
Mechanically, the clutch, gearbox, and brakes are in good condition. The handbrake still requires adjustment. The electrical system functions largely correctly, with the horn, wipers, heater, and dashboard operational, although the wipers need to be replaced. The headlights do not fully function and require repair.
The suspension and axles operate as they should, with slight play on the front right and rear left. The battery is in good condition and could last several more years.
This vehicle is a unique opportunity for a demanding Citroën enthusiast seeking a professionally restored car, suitable for intensive or occasional use. It can be detailed to concours level, used daily, or taken on long journeys. Restoring a 70-plus-year-old Citroën is no longer economically justifiable, which makes this example especially special.
Come visit and take a drive through the country roads of Aalter to see the full potential of this outstanding car.
