Surely the best Citroen C15 Champ Club Van in existence with only 3,633 Miles?!

EXTERIOR
To claim a 23 year old Citroen C15 van to be in pristine original condition and effectively as good as new would seem rather farfetched, yet in this instance, the compliment is entirely justified. Having covered a genuine 3,633 miles from new, this almost inconceivable example is 100% original and arguably perfect. The Passion Red paintwork, (Code KJFB), is showroom fresh and the famously lightweight panels are pin straight with no dings or markings whatsoever. All trim sections are flawless as are every single fragile decal including the Club stickers, offside wing weights and distribution figures label and diesel sticker above the fuel filler. Further amazing originality features are the supplying dealer number plates, tax disc holder and dealer rear window and Citroen Total stickers. The underside condition is every bit as astonishing as the body! This must be the best in existence?!
INTERIOR
Surprisingly comfortable! The reach and rake adjustable seats are trimmed in 50/50 Bonzai Cloth/Grey Vinyl and in typical French fashion are super soft, just like the suspension! The seats are flawless. Genuine C15 tailored rubberised floor mats protect the pristine carpet and absolutely all trim, door cards, headlining and switchgear is as new. All functions and controls operate perfectly. The real wow factor is the rear load space which appears to have never carried anything, ever! There is not a single mark or scratch to the load floor, side walls, bulkhead or roof. Even PDI markings have survived. This example defies belief in its utter perfection.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
This C15 Champ is powered by the DW8B diesel engine displacing 1868cc and producing 60hp at 4600rpm and 105Nm or torque at just 2500rpm. This reliable diesel engine immediately jumps into life once the pre-heat warning light is off and the wonderfully agricultural engine note is hugely nostalgic from the days when diesels were indestructible! The engine bay is amazing and reflects the incredible low mileage this van has covered with all plates and stickers intact as well as super clean sound insulation and even the brake servo shroud still in one piece! Weighing just 945kg, the performance is lively and the five-speed gearbox is sturdy and tight.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This delightful C15 Champ has perfect unmarked steel wheels with factory fitted full width wheel trims. The original Michelin 155R 13 MX tyres have been retained for posterity but branded replacement 155/80 R13 tyres are fitted for safety. Hydraulic dual-circuit self-adjusting brakes with servo assistance grip the front discs and rear drums very well. A load sensitive brake limiter valve is fitted to minimise the risk of rear brake lock-up.
HISTORY FILE
Truly astonishing. Supplied new on the 2nd March 2001 by Freeborn Citroen of Southampton to Mr Andrew White of Guildford. The Hire-Purchase Agreement reveals a price paid after interest charges and an APR of 17.2%, of £7,866. Shortly after purchasing and with only 250 miles, Mr White had to park the van in his secure communal garages while he recovered from an operation. There it remained for 12 years surfacing only for its first MOT in 2012 with 270 miles. After three years and now with 281 miles in 2015, Mr White was not able to continue driving and the vehicle was parked up again until 2022 when he sold it to a good friend due to the announcement that the communal garages were to be demolished for development. His friend decided to sell the van and wanted to get it back on the road so took it to a local mechanic where the third and final owner, Mr Medlicott, purchased it before any mechanical works were carried out. Despite his best intentions of wishing to preserve the van with minuscule miles, temptation eventually won Mr Medlicott over and after two agonising years of admiring it, the van was fully recommissioned in June 2024 and he drove it 3,300 miles! Thank goodness guilt quickly set in and the decision to sell the van to KGF Classic Cars was made! All handbooks, service book and manuals within the grey Citroen folder are present. A sales brochure a two keys with dealer fobs are present. Representing a unique opportunity to own a Citroen C15 van that must be the champ of all Champs!
MOT June 2025, HPI Clear.
