If I was going to look properly, I guess realistically I’d look for a scruffy original car for around €5k … And assume the welder would get a work out to keep it on the road 😆
Can anyone point me towards some good project threads? So I know what’s involved in keeping these on the road? I think I saw one for a Traction Avant in Essex, that was getting the works .(looks at bookmarks … http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?s=936d816d2f8b0693dc7ebeb488954a76&t=126926 )

There aren’t many Tractions I have seen at that price, but there are still some sub £5k ones (less in France) that require lot’s of love and as Ian is finding out, quite a bit of cash.

But luckily I was given mine for free by my neighbour so hopefully only sinking €6K into a fully restored car (with power steering 😀 ). But I have seen many for around €5K which made me feel a little down as I could have bought one that runs for the same money.

But for the first year at least it will be “Barn Find” on the outside, mainly due to budget but also I just want to have a bit of fun with it. Inside, underneath and the engine will be “hopefully” in perfect condition.
