HISTORY:
The last HY Type left the production on the 14 December 1981. This one was registered on the 26 February 1982, which means that it was left for more than 3 months on the parking area of the Aulnay Citroen factory before arriv-ing at the Perpignan dealership. The total production of the H type is about 500,000 vehicles, this one is one the last 1,000 built.
A Wine grower bought it to transport his employees to the fields. He used it very carefully for a few years, the employees had to be very careful in using it. He got very sick and could not work anymore. I heard about it from a Cit-roën enthusiastic and found it in the best conditions: on the first floor beside the boiler! It took 2 persons a whole day to take the fuel oil vapours away, by using tooth brushes!
