1957 Citroen H van catering vehicle split-screen high-top For Sale

1957 split-screen high-top Citroen Hy van fully converted to catering vehicle. After almost 8 years of having this beauty I'm now selling my H van due to the restructuring of my business. It's served me amazingly well over that time, being very reliable, great looking and has helped me build a great business. It's a real door-opener for any business, and allowed me to get into prestigious events and get many wedding, corporate and private bookings that I would otherwise never have gotten.

The van is in really good condition, and has been well maintained mechanically by a specialist mechanic. There is a little bit of rust bubbling up under the wrap in a few places on the body, but this should be fairly easily treated when you re-wrap or paint the van. It starts every time, runs really well and has NEVER broken down on the way to an event! I've made a lot of improvements mechanically, including:

- 12v conversion, including rewiring and a new battery
- New petrol tank
- New exhaust
- Completely rebuilt brakes
- New electronic ignition system

Inside it is a full catering van conversion, with stainless steel tops, 4x13a sockets, 1x16a external connection, LED lighting, double sink with hot water tank and electric pump, LPG gas piping with four quick-release gas appliance connections and an under-the countery fridge. It also has comfy front seats out of a BMW, with the passenger one being removable. It's very versatile and will allos a lot of different configurations for countertop equipment, depending on what you need in there. It has a high-top roof with ventilation flue, which means that unlike normal height H vans you can actually stand up straight if you're more than 5'10". It also allows better air movement, keeps it cooler, and has an inbuilt really handy overhead storage cupboard. On the back there are two stable doors with a large flip-up door above, which allows a counter to be placed on top (not in the picture but included). It also comes with a service tray for the side opening.

Please note I am selling the truck, not the business, so you will need to get it re-wrapped or painted upon purchase.
We are based just outside Brighton. Cash and bank transfer payments accepted. Please do get in touch with any questions.
Thanks!
