To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Type H van, the two teamed up to customise an authentic Type H and a new Jumpy in the colours of Le Coq Sportif, a natural thing to do for two French brands that put the accent on creating high-quality, modern, and technically advanced products and that can also claim to being popular in the finest sense of the term, i.e. in touch with people and inspired by their everyday lives. The two brands were eager to celebrate the iconic Type H and to link it to its worthy successor, the Citroën Jumpy, a van recognised for its styling, comfort, and practicality.
Both one-of-a-kind vehicles, which are designed as mobile bicycle workshops, will be present at events in which Le Coq Sportif participates throughout the year. Citroën has chosen the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham for the world premier of two show cars, one based on the Type H and the other on the new Jumpy two vans that range across 70 years of history and illustrate Citroën’s prominence in the light commercial vehicle segment.
These two distinctive concept vehicles are the outcome of extensive interior and exterior customisation work to present the Le Coq Sportif brand. The two show cars play on the contrast between gleaming white and colorful blocks of blue and red. The Type H and Jumpy have been converted into mobile bicycle maintenance workshops. They can also be transformed into workshops for flocking jerseys, if that is the work to be done a sly wink at their dual character, both attractive and functional.
