Description
The Citroën H Van is a light truck (or delivery van) produced between 1947 and 1981 and was developed as a simple front wheel drive van after World War II.
A total of 473,289 were produced in 34 years at factories in both France and Belgium but were not sold in the UK in righthand 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 bodywork was inspired by the German Junkers (aircraft) of the 1930's; namely the three engine Junkers Ju52, 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 retro van is tax and Mo
T exempt and has reached cult status amongst many, worldwide.
