Ribbed for your viewing pleasure, that’s how you can best describe this Type H. Under the skin, this bus is a modern Citroën Jumper, but it was given a makeover by the company Caselani to resemble the Citroën HY of yesteryear. The benefits of an old bus, but not the burdens – that’s the idea at least. And this blue one can be yours.
Caselani is installing new bumpers and new lighting on the Jumper at the front and rear. All around the bus is given a kind of corrugated iron for the classic look. Inside, this Type H received new upholstery with a diamond pattern, although the inside still betrays that you are dealing with a modern Citroën Jumper.
The Citroën Type H is the largest
This Type H is not the only retro model that Caselani offers. They have recently also launched the Fourgonnette based on the smaller Berlingo and then there is also the Type HG. It is slightly smaller than this Type H, which is the largest retrobus in the range. Incidentally, all vans are produced under license from Citroën.
According to the license plate, we are not dealing here with a Citroën Jumper, but with a Caselani Automobili Type H Panelvan. Makes for an interesting conversation with the cop if you’re stopped. Incidentally, the chance of speeding is not increased by Caselani; the engine just produces its standard 163 horsepower.
This example is from 2018 and has hardly been used. He will be joining soon Classic Car Auctions under the hammer with a starting bid of 1,000 euros. Quite nice as a company car, food truck or as a camper. Watch out for posts, because the dealer will not have the parts for this bus in stock for you.
