I have heard of the 'Manumatic' but not for decades, probably late fifties ~ early sixties.

Only £3,315 more than I paid for my five year old one (S-reg).

After a couple of deposits on other threads...if you want to buy a Citroen HY Van here is a project for you. No reserve, far too much work for a casual purchaser, and probably far too much work for a trader to buy, improve, and sell on at a profit. No this will fall into the small category of enthusiastic amateur who likes quirky vehicles and gets pleasure out of restoring things as a hobby, and accepts the money-pit nature of such restorations and isn't bothered about making money or indeed flushing quite a lot of it down the pan.

The state it's in less than £1,000 would be expensive (the exterior looks OK interior not so good), but at one time wrecks of any description of the HY would be £5-£10K to the quirky food trailer market. It's still got French plates on it and at least you haven't had to trailer it from France. Always an interesting item...what will the market price be :?:

At the opposite end of the work required scale this is a very lovely example of a Rover P6 in turn key and enjoy your motoring mode. In its simplest guise the 2000 SC.

The video gives a better idea then the stills on this occasion so here it is...
