Description
This Citroen Avant is a particuarly nice example which has been preserved well and subjected to restoration when needed during its life. The paint on the car has recently been refreshed and as you will see from the photographs the car presents very well indeed. The interior has at some point been re-trimmed. The history file shows that the car had its engine rebuilt in 1994. In 2006 the brake master cylinder and carb were refurbished. A new water pump was fitted in 2007 along with a new clutch and radiator. The gearbox was rebuilt in 2009. The car has completed limited miles since then having spent a prolonged period in storage.This car starts on the button and the engine runs very quietly and sweetly.
The history file contains invoices relating to the engine rebuild and other work undertaken since. There are also a number of MOT certificates along with a copy of the instruction book for this car. This particular car was used as part of a buyer's guide in Classic Cars magazine in October 1999, a copy of which is in the file. The magazine feature states "ask any owner what the appeal of the car is and the response will always be the same - how modern it feels behind the wheel". The Light 15 is the model to own given the larger engine and this particular example is perfect for some summer touring.
