This Citroën Light 15 is a charming example of the marque’s then-revolutionary saloon car. It is powered by a 2.0-litre inline-four engine, sending its namesake’s 15hp (11kW) to the front wheels via a three-speed manual transmission. Citroën’s ‘Traction Avant’ range represented the world’s first mass-produced monocoque-bodied front-wheel-drive cars. Production ran between 1934 to 1957, and this Light 15 is a versatile five-seater family saloon variant. The vehicle has been in storage in recent years so it will need a recommissioning service prior to extended use. The odometer shows an indicated 58,442 miles. The Citroën Light 15 is finished in Grey, over a burgundy leather-trimmed interior, featuring a wooden dashboard, aluminium trim inserts and chrome accents. It rides on the correct R400 metric steel wheels, finished in off-white with chrome hubcaps, and fitted with Michelin tyres. Equipment includes an original sunroof, side window deflectors, Jaeger instrument dials and analogue clock, opening front quarter lights, wind-down windows all around, seatbelts and door card pockets. This example has been fitted with a Pioneer CD radio. The Citroën is accompanied by its owner’s handbook, some information books, and a collection of supporting invoices and handwritten records. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: There are signs of minor repairs on the car and it has been repainted in the past. The rear mudguards and the front right-hand mudguard would benefit from remedial paintwork. The vehicle has been in storage in recent years so will need a recommissioning service prior to extended use, then offering the buyer the opportunity to enjoy it as-is or conduct some cosmetic improvements. The Citroën Light 15 represented a revolutionary saloon car format in period, and while this particular car is in need of recommissioning, it is a charming 1950s classic, which the next owner could improve over time if they desired. The elegant saloon will make a characterful addition to any collection of historically significant vehicles, and a stylish companion for weekend drives and car shows.
