Do you own a Citroën (or Fiat, Peugeot, RAM) workvan and want to have it look like the iconic Citroën H workvan, here’s your chance. There’s a kit out there to change its appearance.

The kit is designed by a guy named David Obendorfer for the Italian company FC Automobili. They’re said to only produce 70 kits but if it were up to me they’d produce more. 

I’m not entirely sure it’ll work on the RAM Promaster though as the Americans swapped in an American engine and transmission and probably countless other things.

This is brilliant. Saw one of the originals in Amsterdam on the way back from Europpomeet.

I actually suspect it’ll work fine on the ProMaster - the American engine is deeper, yes, but this body kit looks like it makes the engine bay deeper anyway.

True, but those are not available in Europe or the US, are from a different manufacturer and are not full size vans.

But apart from that, totally identical! I could import one, but I probably won’t...

Conpanies like to use them for promotion, and/or foodtruck, over here. Which has drive the value of them up quite a bit if I’m not mistaken.

Ooooh, an unrestored one! You don’t often see those nowadays.

Yeah they do seem to have gotten expensive.
