Description: The Traction Avant Citroen was produced for 23 years and this carefully researched history by Jon Pressnell tells the whole story from concept, design and development through to the last Tractions with hydraulic rear suspension as a trial for the forthcoming DS model. It includes the mythical V8-powered 22CV model, a full history of the British built Traction Avant, weird and wonderful accessories, special bodied cars, Traction Avants around the world, the Traction in French culture and detailed buying advice. The Traction was used by police forces in France and overseas, by both Gestapo and Resistance during World War II and by French taxi drivers, race drivers, stuntmen and more. It is all here in this history that will appeal to Citroen fanciers and classic car enthusiasts.
