Rememeber when vans were cool? No? That's only because you're too young. We're talking back in the 1950s and 1960s. The coolest of the lot were the first Ford Transit, Thames, Prefect and even the Bedford and Commer, and this, the very-French Citroen HY. A total of 473,289 were made in its 34-year lifespan, between 1947 and 1981. No right-hand drive version was every made, so New Zealand never got them.
