This 6-cylinder Traction was delivered new near Angers and sold in 69 to a gentleman in Montrelais, a little further to the west. He used her a lot and for the purpose this queen of the road was designed for; to travel. Italy, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Turkey and Romania were visited. We have correspondence with this owner with the car.

She was then stored and sold to England in 1972. In 93 she came to the Netherlands, where she was eventually taken apart for restoration, to restore her to her original glory. Definitely worth the effort, because there are not that many Six’s, and certainly not of the early model with the wheel on the back.

The enthusiast from whom we bought her said that everything necessary has been done to the engine and gearbox, the welding on the body is already finished and the sheet metal is almost ready for a new coat of paint. During a move, the necessary (small) parts have been lost.

We bought her in good spirits, to do a completely different project. But due to a busy life and a row of other projects, it will not happen anytime soon. So a chance for you, to have such a cool queen by your side, to go visit fairs and make contacts with other enthusiasts for the missing parts and to further assemble her yourself. In any case, the original rims are included, as well as a new exhaust; a scarce part.
