Service-Ready 1980 Citroën HY
Sourced from Manchester, UK, this 1980 Citroën HY was previously operated by a caterer serving a historic cathedral and has been meticulously maintained throughout its working life.
The vehicle features a rare transplanted engine that nearly doubles the original horsepower — a configuration favored by Citroën enthusiasts and ideal for U.S. operators seeking real drivability without sacrificing character.
Originally built for light catering and coffee service, this HY is a turnkey opportunity for operators looking for a ready-made mobile business platform.
One of the best-running vans we’ve personally driven, it is currently crossing the Atlantic and will arrive in our showroom in mid-January.

Heritage & Provenance
Produced between 1947 and 1981, the Citroën HY became a symbol of postwar European commerce — valued for its durability, adaptability, and unmistakable design.
Originally used by tradespeople, caterers, postal services, and small businesses across Europe, these vehicles were built to work — and built to last.
Today, that same heritage gives the HY its enduring appeal: a vehicle with history, purpose, and presence — thoughtfully reintroduced for modern entrepreneurs.

A Personal Note from the Founders
We’re Dana and Chad Mack — partners in life and founders of Retro Roll.
Retro Roll is our shared vision, born from a deep appreciation for vintage craftsmanship and the belief that great businesses deserve to stand out.
Our journey began across Europe — from Marseille to London — sourcing Citroën HY vans and learning firsthand what it takes to bring them to the U.S. the right way. Along the way, we built a trusted network of specialists, navigated the complexities of import and compliance, and refined a process we now use to help others make this investment with confidence.
We don’t just broker these vehicles — we own them, operate them, and understand them inside and out. That experience is what makes Retro Roll a trusted partner for entrepreneurs looking to build something distinctive.
