1974 Citroen HY Coffee / Food van for sale. Has been most recently used as a coffee truck, but could be used for all sorts! Engine recently serviced and runs well; not that I’d recommend driving it very far.. I drove it on and off a trailer and then into position etc, but wouldn’t feel great driving any real distance. It all works fine, it’s just 48 years old and a bit slow / under powered for regular road use!

The interior fit out was done by Tudor trailers in Weston-Super-Mare for a previous keeper. The serving area is in very good condition. There are a couple of ceiling vents and a long service hatch with a piston operated mechanism which is very sturdy, and a drop down solid wood serving shelf.

The whole van has been set up to run on electric, but has previously had gas and there is an entry point for a gas pipe if you wanted to go down that route again.
The current set up has a 40 / 63amp commando socket feeding dual consumer units. We were lucky enough to have a regular pitch with power supply so never needed the gas option and could have whatever electric appliances we wanted.

The interior includes:
– FRACINO DUAL FUEL 2 GROUP ESPRESSO MACHINE
– COFFEE GRINDER
(not in photos as removed for servicing)
– Stainless Steel shelving and double (1 & 1/2) sink
– Electric hot water tap
– Head level low voltage lighting
– LED light around vent canopy (this was over our coffee machine)
– Two under counter fridges
– Cash drawer
– Commercial floor and wall cladding

Also included:
– Tailor-made cover
– Levelling ramps

The underbody is sound / solid and the overall condition is fair / good. These trucks do have a tendency to suffer from rust to the body work and this one is no exception (hence it’s not £45k!) – There are some areas where this is more obvious than others, and if you are looking for a concours vehicle then this isn’t it – but it’s very very tidy and presents very well – always draws a crowd and admirers. The satin black and cream / white really suit the van and when we had the cream logo artwork done it looked great.

The cab is in pretty good shape as per the photos.

V5 present.
