Citroen H Van Being Restored at Eurocar Imports

This Citroen H van is really fun to work on.  When it’s done, it’s heading back to LA where it will be used as a delivery truck making stops between farmers markets and a local LA restaurant.

In order to accommodate carrying foods such as veggies and fruits, we are installing a new kitchen rack inside to keep everything secure.  Also performing all bodywork and finishing off with a fresh coat of paint.  We will post updated photos as soon as it’s done!

Citroen Acadiane Coming from California

It’s not too often that we have a Citroen Acadiane in the house, but one is on its way to Eurocar Imports straight from California.   This is a very rare truck and it’s in great condition.  I’ll be giving it a thorough evaluation inside and out when it arrives, but from what I see on paper, it’s ready for a new owner now!

The Acadiane is a small commercial vehicle, great for businesses that transport goods and packages or for a vintage car enthusiast that loves the unique style and extra space inside.

Here is a photo of the car, about to be shipped to Eurocar.  I’ll keep you posted as to when it arrives. If you’re interested, call right away because these rare vehicles do NOT last long. 732-279-6453.

From H Van to Food Truck, Citroen Vans Do It All

Noel Slade, an expert vintage car mechanic specializing in the restoration and rebuilding of vintage Citroen cars, says business is booming with inquiries from companies that want to incorporate the Citroen H Van into their mobile business.  Busy with requests to restore and rebuild vintage H vans, Slade says this old delivery truck from France is making a huge comeback with businesses in the US.  Slade owns Eurocar Imports in Toms River, NJ.

Vintage H van pre-restoration

Designed as a light delivery truck in France from 1947-1981, the H van was popular among small business owners that delivered breads and baked goods.  As of late, the H van’s unique look and convenient capabilities has gained widespread attention of business owners that want their brand to stand out in the crowd.

According to Slade, most of his H van customers are food service owners. “We are recreating the H van into a modern food service truck,” explains Slade.  “We are working on an H Van right now that is getting a new stainless steel sink, refrigerator, full-sized generator…and more. When it’s done it will be serving up fresh food on the streets of San Francisco.”

Citroen Cars for Sale

He imports the vintage H vans from France and sells them to Citroen enthusiasts as well as businesses.  At his restoration body shop in Toms River, he shows off an impressive collection of Citroen cars, vans and truckettes.  Some of the most unique Citroen cars can be seen on his property and many are for sale.

Slade has dedicated more than a decade to breathing new life into worn down Citroen cars.  His best seller- the Citroen 2CV- is sought after by businesses, vintage car enthusiasts and modern consumers looking to cruise around in a historically good looking car that is known to sip fuel better than any modern day hybrid.  A vintage Citroen 2CV can earn up to 40 miles per gallon around town and up to 50 miles per gallon on the highway.

Eurocar Imports is an exclusive facility in the entire Northeast offering a one-stop shop for Citroen enthusiasts.  From parts to service, restorations to rebuilds, Eurocar Imports caters to a distinct group of clientele with discriminating taste.

Citroen Ripple Truckette Restoration

We are restoring a fantastic 60′s Ripple Truckette for a customer.

The Ripple Bonnet was first introduced in 1960, when the Citroen 2CV was updated. In particular the corrugated Citroën H Van style “ripple bonnet” of convex swages was replaced (except for the Sahara), with one using six larger concave swages.

These genuine Ripples are very rare in Europe and worth a considerable amount of money worldwide. This is a great chance to own a real piece of history.

This ripple is getting 12 volt electrics/602cc engine with disc brake gearbox and many more fine extras.

Citroen 2CV Makes Spooktacular Halloween Appearance

Our client showed off his vintage Citroen 2CV in a most fun and festive way!  He drove it up and down State Street for their annual Kennett Square parade!  The parade kicks off at the corner of Cypress Street and Mill Road and travels north up State Street. Everyone who attends enjoys music and lots of fun costumes, not to mention some special appearances by some really cool vintage 2CVs.

Streets were adorned with corn stalks and scarecrows..you know… to keep the ghouls and goblins at bay.   Check out the photos below of our client having a SPOOKTACULAR time showing off his 2CV.

Citroen DS- Restoration in Progress

Citroen DSQuite possibly one of Citroen’s most beautiful cars, the Citroen DS, has arrived at Eurocar Imports in NJ.  We plan on doing a full restoration on this beauty over the winter months.  This is the DS21 PALLAS model.

Citroën sold nearly 1.5 million D-series during the model’s 20-year production run. The DS came in third in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, recognizing the world’s most influential auto designs, and was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine.
