A very rare 1970 Citroën Type HY telescopic and expandable van modified by the French coachbuilder FILCA.This unique vehicle features a patented modular body system designed by FILCA where the central section slides inside the two outer ends to double the van's total length when parked. To support the extra weight and length of the extended module, the chassis is equipped with a standard front axle and two rear axles. This clever design was built primarily for street markets, mobile field hospitals, or compact camping setups. The main motor cabin could actually be unhitched from the rear trailer module by locking the rear axle, allowing the owner to leave the living quarters stationary and use the front cab independently for transport.Science and facts💡
