Thanks

They were built between 1947 and 1981 with only subtle changes in that time!

Weirdly I've always liked these. Wouldn't want a head on crash in it though.

Isn't it noisy as fk with the engine next to you?

Didn't know what a HY was until I clicked on here! Last remember seeing this van in 'View To A Kill'. I like it! Good project, bookmarked

[E31Shrew]

Excellent. Always had a hankering for one of these. What do you plan to use it for when its completed?

[SammyW]

I absolutely love these, just need to find an excuse to buy one! Looking forward to your updates.

Lets say it's going to be used in the catering industry!

Not just me then
That's a lot of rust, look forward to seeing the finished article!

[steveo3002]

was any of the rust welded up before the filler ?

always liked the citroen HY vans. they look huge, but in reality are quite small.

my brother eventually wants one as a future business expansion and marketing vehicle to do the rounds at fayres/festivals and shows so ill direct him to tis thread. looks amazing!

Magic and great to see another Citroener on PH

These look like they would have great character. First seen one at the glenmorangie distillery. Good work!

Drove past one of these in Belfast last week, it was done up as a portable coffee place, can't remember the name of it mind.

Hehe, amazingly loud sat at 20mph
