“When it appeared at the Paris Motor Show in 1934, the Traction was received with rapture by the press and public alike and 20,000 advance orders were taken, there and then.” – Sparrow & Kessel, Classic Marques Citroën DS.

A curious mixture of romantic visionary and practical businessman, André Citroën was determined that economic depression and a contracting car market would not prevent him introducing a revolutionary new model, which he was convinced would ensure the future of his company. It did just that, but not until after Citroën had lost control of his empire when a minor creditor commenced legal proceedings against him. Within two years, new owner Michelin had paid off all of Citroën’s debts.

Citroën’s brainchild, the 7C ‘Traction Avant’, broke new ground in almost every aspect of production car engineering on its launch in 1934. Unitary construction of the body/chassis, front wheel drive, all-independent suspension sprung by torsion bars, hydraulic brakes, synchromesh transmission, and a four-cylinder, overhead-valve, wet-liner engine were all incorporated in the new car at a time when the majority of its rivals employed a separate chassis, cart springs, sidevalve engines, and mechanical brakes. This ground-breaking specification would have counted for little had the result not worked in practice, but the Traction soon gained a well deserved reputation for exceptional stability and exemplary handling that endures to this day. The 1.3-litre original was soon superseded by larger-engined versions. Production resumed after WW2 and lasted until 1957, when the Traction Avant was replaced by the equally revolutionary DS.

Previously resident in Italy, where it was in the previous owner’s hands from 1990 to 2019, this splendid looking Traction saloon has been restored and is described by the vendor as in excellent condition, with superb bodywork and interior. The chassis and body were repainted in 2018, and the car also benefits from a new fuel pump and filter; a new stainless steel fuel tank; a new battery; new front brake shoes; and an overhauled carburettor. Finished in striking two-tone red/beige with grey fabric upholstery, this stunning Traction Avant is offered with Belgian Carte Grise. https://flic.kr/p/2jHZiZ7

Porsche 356 B 2000 GS Carrera GT “Rennsport” - 1963 by Perico001 Für die Rennen der wichtigsten Kategorie Gran Turismo (GT) wird 1963 eine Rennsportvariante auf Basis des 356 Carrera 2 gebaut. Der letzte Porsche-Rennsportwagen mit Aluminiumkarosserie hat die gleiche niedrige, keilförmige Nase und den abrupten Abbruch der Dachlinie wie der 718 GTR von 1962. In der Frontpartie gibt es 2 kreisrunde Öffnungen, in denen entweder die Signalhörner oder die Zusatzscheinwerfer untergebracht werden. Der Wagen erhält den Spitznamen ‘Dreikantschaber’, da die Silhouette der Karosserie einem Dreiantschaber-Werkzeug ähnelt. 1963 fällt der Rennwagen bei seinem einzigen Einsatz in Le Mans mit Heinz Schiller und Ben Pon aufgrund eines Motorschadens aus.

Porsche 356/02 - 055 SL Coupé - 1950 by Perico001 Für das erste Rennen setzt Porsche 1951 auf das 356 SL (Super Leicht) Coupé mit einer windschnittigen Aluminiumkarosserie. Di Mekaniker nennen es liebevoll “Alubüchsle”. Die Räder sind abgedeckt, um die Aerodynamik zu verbessern. Der Tankstutzen sitzt - wie bei heutigen 911-Rennwagen - in der Mitte der Fronthaube. Der Tank ist auf 78 Liter vergrößert, weshalb der 356 SL nur wenige Tankstopps einlegt. Mit seinem 46 PS leistenden Motor erreicht das Coupé beachtliche 160 km/h Höchstgeschwindigkeit. Schon hier wird ein Grundgedanke der technischen Philosophie von Porsche sichtbar : Konsequenter Leichtbau und eine ausgefeilte Aerodynamik sind mindestens ebenso wichtig wie eine gesunde Motorleistung.
