• A Citroen C15 chassis-cab is now available in the UK. As predicted by Commercial Motor (4 May 1989), it can be supplied as a bare chassis, a pickup, or with an insulated box body, and is the lightest chassis-cab on the market.
The range is based on the 765kg-payload version of the C15 with its popular 45kW (60hp) 1,769cc diesel engine, and appears to offer excellent value. The chassis cab retails for 25,226 (ex-VAT), while the pickup and the insulated van cost 26,251 and 27,601 (exVAT) respectively.
The pickup has a full 2.0m loadbed length, with a 1.48m interior width: a high-volume hard-top cover costs 2750. The interior of the insulated body is 1.67m long by 1.25m high and 1.51m wide; a fridge unit is available for 21,725, and a freezer unit costs 22,725.
Although the C15D chassis cab is new to the UK it has been available on the Continent for some time, so a wide range of body styles has already been developed, but it may not be long before British bodybuilders develop their own.
