The Citroën Traction Avant, renowned for its revolutionary front-wheel drive and unibody construction, stands as a landmark in automotive design. It blends innovation, elegance, and advanced engineering in a package that transformed the car industry.

One of the earliest front-engine, front-wheel-drive production cars, it was remarkably modern for its time with independent front suspension and monocoque body. This particular example was one those built in the UK; Citroën had a satellite factory in Slough.
