How to turn your Citroën Jumper into a Type-H from the 40s

2017 is full of anniversaries in the automotive world and, how could it be otherwise, this year we also celebrate the 70th birthday of the emblematic Citroen Type-H, born in 1947. To do this, Citroën has decided to invoke the primeval essence of the quintessential French commercial van with an initiative that we can call genius.

In the video that you can see below, the French brand shows us how to recreate a Type H from a jumper modern. How? Through a Kit designed specifically for the birthday of the cute model ...

Manufactured from fiberglass, the kit aims to imitate classic lines of the Type H with the accent placed on the headlights, the wavy plates and the classic Citroën insignia, which occupies the entire front grille. The pieces cover the entire Jumper, which logically retains its larger size and its XNUMXst century performance.

Although its price has not been published, our opinion is that this is a very attractive bet for the most nostalgic Citroën Type-H lovers (and for the less, too). The bad news is that Citroën will only make 70 transformations to commemorate its icon ...
