Citroen H van 1956 Never welded nice original unmolested van with no issues for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.5) based on 263 votes

Super early H van manufactured January 1956 at Citroen SA Paris and confirmed with letter from Citroen owners club.  Although now MOT exempt this van has just been Mot'd and carries a full years MOT. The van was imported into the UK in 2005 and £4. 65 was expended getting the vehicle road legal. No work was carried out to the structure as this was free from any rot or hidden horrors. The van was placed into a private collection and not Uk registered until 2008.

These early vans carry all those quentessential  features including a split wind screen. the small oval rear window. open rear wheel arches. he very comfortable early original seats. semaphores and windscreen wipers with manual over-ride lever. The interior is not fitted out and apart from a pair of seats with belts secured to the floor (easily removed) behind the drivers seat the rear cargo area is clear of any adaptations or add-ons.

The electrics are converted to 12 volt with electronic ignition and a push button start replaces the pull start. Good Michelin tyres all round. Early 1911cc cast iron head engine with original ancillaries.

This van has no hidden horrors masked by a shiny paint job and underseal. The structure is totally original and does not appear to have had any previous welding and requires none. The stucture is still in body colour and carries a minimal degree of surface rust. This vehicle is totally honest and that can be seen from my photos. The colour appears to have been changed over the years. silver. duck green and currently dove grey. I have had several H vans and have in the past been seduced by a new paint finish and an undersealed structure.  Don't be fooled.  A sound structure is essential if you dont want a money pit.  The patina has taken decades to create and hides nothing.

The van ouses charm and character and can be enjoyed as an everyday driver should you choose.

Please refer to pictures I have added including views with floor panels removed and the underside is also shown. I invite any pre-offer inspection and for any info give me a call on 07720309203. £100 paypal deposit is requested upon an offer being accepted. Thank you
