Hello Miles, That was probably the previous owner being an electrical genius. My '52 Traction had proper connectors that even had screws to secure the wires. But it was always running... Peter L.

I bought this '52 in Hollister for $4200 and it ran after a few tweaks but since these cars don't have a fuse box you might imagine I had quite a bit of electrical to fix but never did and just sold

Rowan, I have a 51R in my '66, it is only 1/8" taller than the group 25. If you want to upgrade to an AGM battery the early ('90-05) Miata battery is good choice, somewhat smaller, it is group U1R.

Rowan, try a group 25 at Costco - is a good fit - Ken

Hi all, I was wondering if any fellow R16 owners knew the proper battery group/size that will fit in an R16. I saw on some websites that group 51R is said to fit, but after a quick measurement it

And they probably never looked under the hood!

They didn’t recognize the shift lever sticking out if the dash, so if it ain’t manual it must be automatic. David Sent From Mobile Phone

I am trying to figger out that automatic thing myself in 1956 Traction? -- Matthew M Spielberg21855 Redwood RoadCastro Valley, CA 94546(510) 886-5751(209) 586-0250

Thanks all. I’ve got to finish sorting out my current projects before jumping on one of these. Truth told, I intend to go philistine on one. Not custom, not hot rod, just a mild resto-mod –

I believe, but don't know for certain, that there is one that will start at the Pacifica Bowling alley. Breakfast Rally Club will also have a run which will be in Marin. David

And on the same subject, does anyone know of a New Years Day drive already planned and scheduled? Not an Iron Bottom, but a lovely couple of hours? -- Matthew M Spielberg 21855 Redwood Road Castro

Peter's spot on. Sounds like someone's failed custom to me. Keep looking!! The Tractions I've driven are great fun. The independent torsion bar suspension, front wheel drive and low cg are rumored

Doesn’t look terribly promising, but they are sufficiently rare that someone might want to know

Automatic Transmission? "Fair" condition? Keep looking! You might also want to check out the SFRCCC -- San Francisco Region Citroen Car Club -- for leads in the area. Welcome to the SAN FRANCISCO

I’ve been looking for one of these, but not ready to pull the trigger yet. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/d/1956-citroen-traction-avante/7421964916.html Sent from Mail for Windows

YES! I want BOTH! But, WHEN will the MicroLino or the new Messerschmitt be available in USA? I really doubt that I will live that long. And, unless either or both mount a significant corporate

I'm holding out for the new Microlino Isetta electric. I had a semi real KR200 in the 90s. Too low to be seen by giant 4x4s who hate imports in Oregon.

If you missed getting a 1948 - 60 Messerschmitt Kabinenroller, Now you have another chance. Achim Adlfinger is making them in gas and electric versions. Look

Had a red '56 in high school like this one. A goodlooker and steered very nicely. Hard riding and wouldn't pull the skin off rice pudding with the stock 1500. I put a 3 main B engine in it and it was
