Best shopping experience!!!
Been shopping around for quite some time before finding my 1973 Citroen at Vintage Car Collector. Sale went smoothly and with ease, for what I'm very thankful. Highly recommended!
If there was 10 stars I'd give them a 10.
I've dealt with many people & have quite a few cars. Dealing with Vintage from start to the end of the deal was excellent. The communication is great. They have such a great selection of cars there and everything about them is so professional. I even mentioned they have a VW Microbus that if they fix a little they can get double the $$$ but they don't do that & they have some gems. I love the place & I totally trust them with any deal.
GREAT people.
Great people to deal with. Sold them my 73 Mercedes and it was a very smooth transaction. Very quick payment. I buy And sell many cars each year and will definitely be looking Nick up to buy in the future.
I bought a 73 Jaguar E-Type from them, amazing car.
They are such a easy people to make a business with! I bought a 73 Jaguar E-Type from them, amazing car. Thanks guys!

This seller has a huge & impressive inventory. Nick showed me the vehicle I bought and I found he's not your typical car salesman. He's very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to deal with. The day I picked up my car I got a glimpse of where they detail and service their vehicles. I saw the time and effort they put into their inventory. I don't normally leave reviews; but, I was so pleased with my experience I felt I needed to.
I can't say enough about my experience!
When I bought my 71 MBZ 600, I thought that I was paying a high price, but when I got my car, I realized that this was the best car in my collection. Thank you Tom for selling this car to me.

1952 Citroën Traction Avant
You're looking at a gorgeous 1952 Citroen Traction Avant, with tan and burgundy exterior that perfectly matches with the same 2-tone stunning interior. The Traction Avant, which translates literally as "front-wheel drive” in French, was the world's first front-wheel drive production car using a steel unibody construction. The car you drive today was most likely built the same way!
Traction Avants are fairly robust vehicles even by modern standards. Every four years, Traction Avant enthusiasts ship or drive their vehicles to an exotic location for the ICCCR (International Citroën Car Clubs Rally). In 2002, for example, a group of more than 30 Traction Avants drove from Los Angeles to New York City without incident. In a word, c'est magnifique!
I bought this beauty from a classic car collector, a long-time Citroën owner who has been nurturing this car throughout the years. I've already bought several cars from him and I am well-aware that his cars are always parked in a warehouse and meticulously maintained.
This Citroën has no rust whatsoever! The chrome, interior and exterior are in excellent condition. Imported about 15 years ago, it's been driven on a regular basis, and also featured in numerous car shows.
Odometer shows only 45,402 original miles (73,068 kilometers). I am holding a clear Mississippi title; however, mileage is indicated as exempt on the title due to the age of the car.
Mechanical
The car has a very original drivetrain, engine and transmission. Also has new shocks, clutch, and drive shaft. This car runs, drives, and stops as it should. This is a great driver with no issues. Everything is in working order.
Exterior
The exterior of this car is in amazing condition with nice and shiny chromes that stand out. All windows and doors open and close as they should. Undercarriage is very solid and rust-free. Overall the car is in amazing condition.
Interior
The interior is in superb condition. The headliner, dash, seats, carpet, and glass are all in great condition as if the last 65 years have never been there.
