Description
The Citroën H Van, is a light truck (or delivery van) produced between 1947 and 1981, it was developed as a simple front wheel drive van after World War II.
A total of 473,289 were produced in 34 years in factories in both France and Belgium.
They were not sold in the UK in right hand drive.
The engine, gearbox and many smaller parts are well known from other Citroën models, the headlights and speedometer were identical to the 2CV for many years.
The distinctive corrugated body work was inspired by German Junkers (Aircraft) of the 1930s, the three engined Junkers Ju 52, being the last to use this construction.
The ribs added strength without adding weight, and required only simple, low cost press tools.
The flat body panels were braced on the inside by 'top hat' box sections, at right angles to the ribs.
Rear hinged 'Suicide' cab doors were used until the end of production in 1981.
This lefthand drive Citroën H van has recently been restored and is in good allround condition.
