Fantastic opportunity for potential promotion/catering business; in
need of some re-commissioning; stylish French charm
Few
commercial vehicles are as instantly recognisable or as universally admired as
the Citroën HY. With its unmistakable corrugated bodywork and unmistakable
French charm, the HY has become an icon in its own right, finding favour as
everything from campers and food trucks to coffee bars, promotional vehicles and
even garden offices.
This 1962 example has most recently
been used as a catering vehicle and remains fitted with a range of equipment
including a fridge, freezer, sink, coffee machine and useful cupboard storage.
Prospective purchasers intending to return it to catering use should expect to
inspect, service or replace these items as appropriate to meet their own
requirements.
The van is fully UK registered as 206
UYP and appears to have been on British roads since 1966, giving it
a long-established UK history. Unfortunately, no V5C is present, so the
successful purchaser will need to apply for a replacement
document.
At the time of cataloguing, the HY had not been
running.
Whether restored as a vintage catering vehicle,
converted into a stylish camper, transformed into a mobile coffee business or
simply preserved as one of the most charismatic commercial vehicles ever
produced, this HY offers enormous potential. With values of these iconic French
vans continuing to strengthen, opportunities to acquire one with such
versatility are becoming increasingly rare.
An exciting and
highly characterful project, offering endless possibilities for the next
keeper.
