The Appeal
Citroën H vans have an enduring appeal, with their distinctive corrugated body panels marking them out as unique vehicles on the road. They have a justifiable place in society as the go-to vehicle of choice when it comes to catering conversions.
But the van for sale here is not an old vehicle which has been retrofitted, instead it was built to order for the current owner in Singapore in 2021. It has served their business well since, and now they are only selling this van in order to get a bigger vehicle to fulfil the needs of their business.
Presented here in good condition, the van can be driven with its electric motor, with a top speed of around 35 km/h. The current owner has not registered it for use on the road, preferring to use a trailer to transport it to venues.
We’re sure this distinctive H van evocation will draw admiring glances from passers by wherever it’s taken.
The History and Paperwork
- Built in Singapore in 2021
- Purchased new by the current owner
- Not currently registered for use on the road
- Electrical systems have been PAT tested
The Interior
- All interior features said to work as they should do
- Simple driving controls and minimalist dashboard
- Fully fitted catering area, hatch refrigerated display cabinet etc.
The rear load area of this van has been fitted with stainless steel catering appliances to allow the preparation and storage of food for sale. It features two fridge/freezers as well as the cold display fridge. There is an extractor fan in the roof, a sink with a pump, non-slip flooring and ample storage cupboards, as well as an electrically pumped sink.
There is a 32 amp power inlet and 240V sockets throughout. The vendor has informed us that a full PAT test has been carried out on all the appliances, and the paperwork for this can be supplied.
To the front, there is seating for a driver and passenger as well as a minimalist dashboard, which includes a radio/CD player, forward/reverse selector, light switches, and an LCD information display. The seating here is basic but functional.
The Exterior
- Large side serving hatch, and small rear hatch
- Classic HY corrugated finish
- In great condition underneath
One of the most distinctive features of this van is its corrugated panels, an authentic feature of the classic Citroën H van. The body appears to be in generally good condition, but with a few areas of damage to the paint, notably on the bottom edge of the rear hatch.
The door and hatch hinges are starting to show signs of corrosion, and the headlamps have suffered from the weather, but these are easily replaceable. The front bumper has a few paint chips which could be rectified without trouble. Overall, the exterior of this van looks very presentable and there is plenty of flat space for branding and advertising.
Underneath, the ladder chassis appears to be in good condition, with only a little surface corrosion beginning to show through in places. The wheels are in great condition and the tyres are said to be new.
The Mechanics
- 4 x 60V batteries
- 35 km/h top speed and 60km range
Mechanically, this van is a very simple machine. It is fitted with four 60V batteries, which are said to be nearly new and hold full charge. These power the rear wheels through a motor mounted on the rear axle casing.
While the current owner has not registered the van for use on the road, we’re told it will reach a top speed of around 35 km/h and has a range of 60km, which makes it quite a practical vehicle.
Summary
The HY has become a universally accepted symbol of good food at events far and wide. When you see one of these, you know you’re not far from a refreshing coffee, a sweet pastry or some other tasty treat. So if your catering business needs its own version, then you need look no further than the example for sale here.
It is in good to go useable condition, ready to be taken to events or easily kitted out with the exact requirements for any business.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
