Another great find 1949 Citroen Traction Avant

[Tamas Opra]

So this is what I found last week
A fully restored 49 Avant.
It was sitting in an office space in a shop for the past 20 years.Funny story they had to brake the dry wall to get it out of there.
Its in unbelievable condition,lotsa extra rare parts like windshields and euro headlights etc.
I hooked up the brakes and did all the wiring already.6-12 V conversion.
She purrs like a kitten.A couple of more finishing touches and shes ready to go to AAA for vin verification and new tags
Last registered in 1970.
Enough of words,lets see some pictures.

Nice find Tamas! You do turn up some interesting cars:-)
Looking forward to a report of the driving qualities of the Citroen.
Also wondering where you get your leads, and if this is your main gig?

Cheers Richard

Hey Rich,
I always make videos of test drives.
This started as a hobby but now turned out to be my main gig,also many side gigs.
Leads are given by friends,people talk.Also swap meets,any car related event,going to church.But generally internet and networking.

You will do very well selling that to Europe. That's like a 32 coupe over there ... very classy looking car. Much too old fashioned for 49, but they all dig it.
