Lot no. 176
1939 Citroën "Light 15" roadster Titre de circulation suédois Châssis n° 103631 - Très rare version britannique - 70 exemplaires seulement - Restauration récente - Possède son log book d'origine La Citroën Traction était révolutionnaire lors de son lancement, par sa technique, sa carrosserie monocoque et son dessin bas et élancé. Ses qualités ont été confirmées par une longue carrière de plus de 20 ans. Elle a même été produite dans plusieurs pays autres que la France, comme la Belgique, le Danemark et l'Angleterre. Dans ce dernier pays, la Traction 11 CV prenait l'appellation "Light Fifteen", ce qui prête aujourd'hui à confusion, mais qui était dû à une différence dans le système de taxation des automobiles : une 11 CV en France devenait en Angleterre une 15 HP. Outre par le nom, la version britannique différait par des détails de finition, d'autant qu'elle devait comporter une certaine proportion de pièces locales : le système électrique était Lucas, le tableau de bord était en bois et les sièges en cuir, ce qui répondait aux goûts du marché anglais. La version la plus désirable de la Traction est le roadster et, dans l'usine anglaise de Slough, seul 70 exemplaires en ont été produits, ce qui en fait une voiture particulièrement rare. Celui que nous présentons a été importé en Suède en 2004 et complètement restauré par son propriétaire. Rare et peu ordinaire, il mérite toute l'attention des passionnés de la marque. Swedish title Chassis N° 103631 - Very rare English built roadster - Only 70 built - Recent restoration - Has its original log book The Citroën Traction Avant was revolutionary when it was launched, for both its engineering and its low profile. The car continued to demonstrate its abilities as it evolved through more than 20 years of production. The most collectible of them all being the open version, was the roadster. The B11 was made on licence in several countries, among them Belgium, Denmark and in the U.K. The version of the B11L produced by the English factory in Slough was called the Light Fifteen. This confusing terminology referred to the British fiscal tax rating at the time which was higher than the French; therefore the 11CV engine was 15HP in England. There were also small differences between the French and British built cars as the British ones must had 51% UK parts in them: the electrics were Lucas, the dashboard was in wood and the seats were in leather. All to suit the British markets taste. Only 70 roadsters with those specifications were produced at the Slough plant, making this the rarest of all the B11/Light 15 roadsters. Imported to Sweden in 2004 and rebuilt by the former owner during the early 2000s, the car deserves to find a new passionate home.
