Tempted

[Dave ThornleyParticipant]

Not got the  need for another nor have I really got the room but still tempted.

If it goes at the lower end of estimate is not a bad deal.

With cars like this the auction house I think plucks reserves out of a hat.

Went for total with premium at £7344

How about a free 49 Light 15? There is a slight catch, it’s in Calgary, Alberta.

1949 Citroën Traction Avant

 

[Dave ThornleyParticipant]

Do you not think it is overpriced? Surely somebody must have a use for it even if just, heaven forbid, as a donor car.

[Larry LewisParticipant]

I think it’s a worthy project- It came from South Africa and likely doesn’t have any rust, except for what you see on the wing, but that’s easily sorted out. If I didn’t have my hands full with my 37 BL, I would probably take it home. And, note the dual SU carbs.

[Dave ThornleyParticipant]

Twin SU bit over the top but each to their own.

[ChrisParticipant]

It’s listed as sold. Larry – is it with you now?

[Larry LewisParticipant]

No- A guy in Edmonton has it now- he also has a 48 Light 15 that came from South Africa. I worked on the 48 years ago.
