It was originally manufactured in the Slough factory before export to New Zealand where it was first registered. Fitted with a rare walnut dashboard and cream leather interior, it is said to be on the button and to sound smooth. Works have been carried out by specialist John Gillard with documentary evidence in the history file. Following import to the UK some years ago it was restored and the colour changed from black to green. Offered with a comprehensive history file including import certificates and magazine articles featuring the car, 630 XUE is also accompanied by a current V5C. Introduced at the April 1934 Paris Salon, the Traction Avant was a technological tour-de-force thanks to its unique combination of a monocoque chassis, front-wheel drive, torsion bar independent suspension, hydraulic brakes, and (from 1936) rack and pinion steering. Powered by a 1911cc four-cylinder OHV engine allied to a manual transmission, the Light 15 versions produced at Citroen's Slough factory boasted wooden dashboards, leather upholstery, and 12-volt electrics.
