So, a Citroen Traction Avant, so called because Traction Avant means front wheel drive which was very rare at the time, commonly shortened to Traction.

The yellow wheels look a bit odd, but the originals did have them. Not sure if exactly like those though.

Much beloved by the resistance and the Germans as wel, they have been found abandoned as far away as the Arctic circle, and yes, I'd like one. The end of their manufacture overlapped with the DS, pretty unbelievable, but then the Traction was way ahead of its time when it came out.

The yellow one, a Mini Marcos? My pa used to drink with Jem Marsh in Bradford on Avon while waiting to pick us up from school, after "prep".
The Brown interior, a Cortina Mk 3?? I had two when I was a rep, one auto one manual.

Some really lovely cars. Glad you had fun!!!:):):)

When I was a young lad, a bloke a few doors away from us had one of those, in gold colour (might not have been original colour). He loved that car but everyone else including his family hated it and it was a bit of an eyesore on the street. It was known as The Stephensons Wrecket locally. The father and eldest sons were taking it in turns to be in prison or borstal depending on age. When the father went to prison again the sons chopped the car up and weighed it in.
