Citroën celebrates 60 years type H on the TechnoClassica in meals


In Germany one knows it nearly only by sight and from the vacation: of provenzialischen market places, where the butcher sold his commodity from the structure of corrugated sheet, or of bretonischen camping sites, where the Crossaints in the morning in so a near-rolled.
The type H is clearly a piece France. In addition, it is a milestone of commercial motor vehicle history. More than 30 years long, until December 1981, he was nearly invariably built. The secret of this long career is its radical appropriateness. The Design may work almost fossil, the concept however is this very day unsurpassed.
The HY on that was presented Paris salon 1947: it becomes thus in this year 60. The round birthday of the urigen box is reason of enough to fill the Citroën conditions on the TechnoClassica this week in meals exeptionally with commercial motor vehicles.
In the center the last built type H is located: an unused copy fresh from the factory from the work collection. Its predecessor has in addition, an honour place: the TUB of 1939 carried out for the first time the modern box car concept with low structure of front steering wheel, lateral Schiebetüre in the self-supporting body and front wheel drive. Only 1,749 was built - the very rare survivor on the exhibition booth is likewise a piece from the work collection.
