The iconic 'Tinman' 1967 Citroen H Van is being offered for sale. This amazing van had a $150k restoration 9 years ago and was featured in NZ Classic Car magazine. The fit-out is top level with attention to design and detail. Viewing is essential. The 'Tinman' brand has a reputation for amazing coffee and great service. We use delicious 'Coffee Supreme' beans and Supreme offer great support. Kapiti Ice Cream can be added to the offering. I have comprehensive systems in place and training for running the van and Coffee making will come with the business.

There are two coffee machine options - both premium 2 group La Marzocco machines. They have auto volume control and 2 boilers, 1 for steam and 1 for coffee shots so they can run flat out all-day making hundreds of coffee's and the quality is as good from the first to the last coffee. The van can run on 32amp mains power, or a 7kw Honda Generator.

If you want to operate the van selling coffee, there is the possibility to trade under the 'Tinman' Brand for 1 year initially with an annual renewal option. Images of 'Rene' and the back story would stay on my website and any enquiries relating to that van would go to the new owner.

The van has been hired for TV ads (for NZ and offshore) TV programs, movies including Netflix Cowboy Bebop ... so there is another revenue stream there. Various companies have hired the van for giveaways and activations including Ford NZ at Fieldays on 2 occasions.

I have spare parts, a mechanic who is very experienced with H Vans and access to overseas suppliers so the van can be kept well maintained. In 9 years the van has never broken down.

It’s Left-Hand Drive and manual so that takes a little bit to get used to, but its pretty easy and I’ve had friends jump straight in and drive it for me with no problem.

I’ll consider selling the base van without any equipment or branding if someone wanted it for another purpose.

Numerous items come with the van.

Serious buyers should enquire for more details.
