So finally, our Peugeot J9 truck makes it to the grid in its completed form!

After 15 months of renovations fabrication, plumbing, electrics, respray & finally graphics, it's now out in the real world, providing the coffee support at events!

This ex Peugeot truck had a life delivering mail & parcels in France for years...now it joins our other coffee trucks to complete the quirky family!

The colour scheme for this truck was based on the Peugeot Talbot racing colours / 1980's Rallye support van.....what do you think....To much? Looking good?

A few little tweets to make perfect... slight drip from the roof extension, powder coat the wheels black perhaps?

This Sunday 14th July you can find the truck at for the European car Assembly at 👌

So many people to thank for helping bring the vision to life...
Craig & his team doing the internal fabrication.

Bruce doing the roof extension & hatch.
+
Carl for doing a super job on the welding work & full respray in the bright yellow.
+
Dan & Ray for totally understanding the vision and creating the graphics.
+
Adam & team at Polygraphics for taking the time to getting the application of the graphics right.
+
The guys at Autocare for getting the mechanical bits sorted.

"We Give a Truck About Coffee"
This is our fundamental reason for starting our little independent company way back in November 2016 (but officially January 2017)...to provide quality , barista coffee at outdoor events.

Years of personally attending events as a visitor but only having a choice of below average...worse still, the hot water urn with instant coffee options created a deep down desire to bring real barista coffee to outdoor events across the midlands. Fast forward to today and the fleet has grown from the original Coffee Box horse trailer to a little fleet of quirky coffee trucks which can be found at events all over the UK, covering all your caffeine needs ☕👌

Little Red No. 2 is for sale!

You probably haven't seen this one out 'n about as we haven't used it much since finishing it's renovation/ conversion....it's a good one!

One of only 29 registered still in use on the UK roads...on 1 other 1977 on the roads.

1975 ( registered in the UK 1977) Citroen AK400 (basically a 2cv van which has a 400kg payload..hence the name).
Right hand drive with speedo in the correct mph reading.
•85,000miles.
•4speed manual.
•602cc petrol, always run on premium unleaded in my ownership.
•MOT and tax exempt - classic car status.

Can keep up with modern traffic, great fun to drive... obviously not fast, but can get to 60mph.

Disc brake front / drum rear.

I purchased this lovely van in spring 2021 to rescue it and bring it back to glory as it had been neglected a little and used outside Cafe Rouge in London as a prop.

Over the last 2.5yrs it has undergone a full restoration..including:

•Replacement bonnet.
•Cut out the old bulk head due to corrosion and replaced with new.
•Cut out the vent surround / lower window screen metal due to corrosion and replace with new.
•New side hatch installed with gas struts, opening up to become a mobile bar / coffee van / promotional van.
•Full respray inside and out.
•fully serviced by Peak 2cv
•Before I purchased it, it had a new chassis by 2cv City.
•New battery
•New windscreen

The counter:
Resin coated so is easy to wipe clean and waterproof.
Pitch rinser for washing jugs / glasses powered by a 12v water pump.
It has a knock box hole for rubbish, going directly to a bin below.

The rear:
Close to 6ft long load space in the rear, plenty of space for carrying stock.

Fitted with a 12v leisure battery to run lights and water pump. It also has a 12v to 240v pure sine wave inverter installed but I still need to finish wiring this up to provide power to the 240v sockets. I need to install the internal power wall in the back still with a 240v hook up... hopefully I will get this sorted in the next week or so.

Lovely van, which goes really well, and has been perfectly reliable in my time with it, but please remember this is a 1975 van with approximately 20bhp..not a brand new Mercedes Sprinter!

A great classic with AMAZING businesses providing everything you could ever need to keep it on the road...unlike some other classics where parts are difficult to source, the Citroen 2cv is fantastic....parts availablity never an issue.

Looking for offers around £16,500

Our first visit to the Rex Market in Sheffield is coming up on Sunday 24th March, excited to attend! 😬

27/02/2024

This Sunday, we are back with our good friends The Garage Chilwell for another top tier line up if independents at the weekly Sunday market 👌 10am - 2pm

12/02/2024

We just want to serve great coffee ! 🥴

The Toyota is having some adjustment issues with it's new life as a coffee truck....to be expected I guess as it was pulled out obscurity 2 years ago, then undergone a massive transformation into the truck you see now, new floor, serving hatch, counters, bodywork repairs, coffee machines, massive water tanks, off grid battery set up..the list goes on!

But it's difficult to know the condition of the engine and transmission on a 1980's truck that's been imported from Tokyo, Japan in the early 90's with zero history ...it's very much trial by error, as we get to iron out all the small issues.

Last month the gear box came out to replace the clutch....and now the gearbox is coming out AGAIN as 5th gear has decided it's had enough, so box back out thanks to our friend then off for a full strip down so I can get a shopping list of what's needed and source parts from Japan...the joys!

For us, all the fleet need to work and are able to get to events around the UK under their own steam, fully working quirky trucks..not trailer queens (apart from the Coffee Box horsebox trailer obviously!)

Let's hope for a speedy recovery! 🙏

As ever, thank you for all that visit the Coffee Trucks for a cup of the good stuff...it feels like 80% of profit goes to keeping the fleet in the road!
The last 20% you ask? Our good friend the vat man of course!

One of only a few pictures I managed to get at the Scramble on Sunday, but it kinda sums up the cars that attend.. amazing new exotica, classic British metal and the rare strange quirky stuff too!

Great to briefly catch up with lots of friends with have made over the years attending here..always a shame we don't get to look around much until everyone is leaving 🤣 Next time must try harder!

sorry didn't get to talk!
(Those Porsche Dakar's are 👌high on the want list for me!).

Tickets now on sale for the April Scramble...don't delay, IT WILL SELL OUT BEFORE THE EVENT! Visit to get tickets sorted.
