Caselani Automobili Type-H Panelvan – Italian retro conversion styled on the Citroën H-type van: 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine, 1,495kg payload
Caselani Automobili is an Italian coachbuilder that reworks light vans in a retro style referencing historic models; the Type-H Panelvan recorded here carries bodywork in the style of the classic 1950s Citroën H-type van, built on a modern chassis.

The four-cylinder diesel engine has a displacement of 2.2 litres (2,179cc). With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg and an unladen weight of 2,005kg, a payload of 1,495kg remains — a high figure pointing to a comparatively light base chassis. Wheelbase and width are 4,040mm and 2,100mm respectively. The Dutch vehicle register records three vehicles of this type.
Reworking a modern van in the style of a historic model usually affects only bodywork elements such as the front end, corrugated-look side panelling and headlights, while the chassis, engine and safety systems match the base model. For the owner, this means servicing and registration technically follow the unchanged base vehicle, while the exterior appearance is deliberately styled to look historic.
When buying a used vehicle converted in this way, alongside the regular checks on the base chassis — brakes, tyres, diesel particulate filter — check whether the added bodywork panels are properly fastened and show no corrosion at the joints with the original bodywork, since these transitions tend to be a weak point in small-series conversions more often than on an unmodified production vehicle.
