Solido 1/18 Citroen Type HY Cafe Ambulant

Add a touch of vintage French street culture to your collection with the Solido 1:18 Citroën Type HY Café Ambulant. This charming diecast model celebrates the iconic Citroën Type H, the legendary utility van produced by Citroën and widely used across Europe as a delivery vehicle, market stall, and mobile café.

Introduced in the late 1940s, the Type H became famous for its durable construction, practical front-wheel-drive layout, and distinctive corrugated metal bodywork. Over the decades, it became a favourite for small businesses and street vendors thanks to its versatility and unmistakable character.

This “Café Ambulant” edition recreates the classic mobile coffee stand that could be found on French streets and markets. Featuring vintage café-themed graphics, detailed bodywork, and realistic styling, the model captures the atmosphere of a traditional traveling coffee vendor.

Solido’s 1:18 scale replica faithfully reproduces the unique design of the Type HY, including its ribbed panels, classic wheels, and carefully crafted interior details. The colourful café livery adds personality and nostalgic charm, making this model a standout piece for collectors.

Constructed with a diecast metal body and precision plastic components, the model offers excellent durability and realism, perfect for display in any diecast or vintage vehicle collection.
