A 1939 Citroen 11BL `Traction Avant` saloon The revolutionary Citroen `Traction Avant` was introduced in March 1934. Not only was front wheel drive employed, but also the low slung body was of unitary construction - the first time a front wheel drive monocoque car had ever been produced. The front suspension was independent via wishbone/torsion bar and the brakes fully hydraulic. Originally fitted with either 1303cc or 1529cc four cylinder engines, a larger 1911cc four cylinder was introduced in 1934, as well as a 2867cc six cylinder. Various modifications were announced for the 1936 model year, including minor styling changes, an opening rear luggage hatch, a single fuel filler cap rather than the twin fillers on earlier cars and rack and pinion steering in place of the earlier, imprecise worm and roller set-up. The model was highly popular, remaining in production until 1957 (after a hiatus in production due to WW2) after 759,111 examples of all variants had been produced. with owners including politicians, painters, Resistance members and rally drivers, as well as hundreds of thousands of motorists across Europe. This example is a left hand drive 1939 11BL, signifying that it is the `Legere` or `Light` short wheelbase and narrow track version, fitted with the 1911cc engine and three speed manual gearbox with column shift. Chassis number `426632`. It is reputed to have been requisitioned and used by the Gestapo during WW2 in France. Purchased by the current owner in France in 1989, the car was used and enjoyed for many years in Guernsey until being taken off the road in 1998, since when it has not been driven. Currently parked outdoors, it will require restoration and is not currently in full running order. Finished in ivory with a blue cloth interior, this charming car represents a rare opportunity to obtain a completely original example of this iconic and revolutionary French classic in `barn find` condition. * Please note that the car is not UK tax paid. It does not run and is not roadworthy. Martel Maides Auctions will require the car to be paid for in full and removed from the premises via a low loader, at the purchaser`s arrangement and expense, by Friday 10th October 2014.

Map of the United States . This early wall map of the United States extends to the Pacific. The Southwest and Texas are controlled by the United Mexican States which the map labels as the Internal Provinces of Mexico. Oregon is north of Mexico and runs east to the Continental Divide. The huge Missouri Territory stretches from Canada to Arkansas Territory. Arkansas, itself created from a portion of Missouri Territory, is in an early configuration with its western boundary to Texas` panhandle and locates Ft. Smith, Little Rock, Arkopolis, and Dwight. Chicago is shown south of its correct location. North West Territory reaches to Missouri Territory. A terrific distance table gives the mileage from Washington D.C. to each state`s capital or largest city. Below the map is a fine elevation view of the ""Capitol at Washington"" with inset maps on either side: North America; City of New-York and Vicinity; District of Columbia; Boston and its` Vicinity; and the Caribbean with Cuba, Jamaica and St. Domingo. The title cartouche features a painstakingly detailed stipple engraving of George Washington. This is the first state of the second edition with Thrall`s imprint replacing that of Huntington & Willard. Published in Hartford, Connecticut. A beautiful example of a scarce, early American-produced wall map. Professionally restored including mounting on new linen with fresh piping thread at sides. Attached to original wooden rods. Within the map are numerous small cracks and an occasional small chip which is now well supported on the new linen. The top margin has been replaced with old paper and there is some foxing near the bottom roller at right. 28"" W x 21"" H . Thrall, Willis . 1828
