When we arrived at Jean-Louis' on Saturday afternoon, things didn't look good. When Célestine's restoration was done there were one or two corners cut: nothing serious, but things like nuts and bolts not being greased, and old and almost dead wires being reused instead of being replaced. This meant that the process of putting everything together again was taking longer than it should have.
We hadn't reckoned, however, with the powers of a man on a mission. By 7.30 we were on the road, and the everything was feeling tight and precise.
First thing to do was to give some love
That always makes her smile
I don't recommend you ever break a gearbox in your Traction Avant, but if you do, we know the right man.Simon

I bet you were smiling too.
Glad to see her back... oh, and her front! That explains the glow from Preuilly way despite yesterday's gloom, hail and rain... it was the warmth of your smiles as you welcomed the Lady back home.
The WV is "rtGet porrge"... who needs to get a Porrge when you've got a Citroën... especially a Traction Avant.
And just in time for the Autobourse next weekend!
Brilliant news and big sighs of relief I expect!

Great to see the lady back on the road...
CELESTINE IS ONCE MORE CELESTIAL
Celestine is looking good!
She does look lovely. Are there
no requirements for her to have
a numbered plate -- just Celestine?
Wonderful news. Bet you are glad to have her home.
Ah she looks super! Bet you are very pleased to have her home :-)
Glad to see your 'Traction' will resume leading your enterprise form the front as it were. Very good news.
