This is an excellent for age example of the sought after petrol version Talbot Express Motorhome. I’ve had it for 8 years, during which time I have significantly enhanced it. It is fully operational and used as recently as 2 months ago for a holiday to France. Reluctant sale, but I’m now looking for something smaller as have just stopped fostering. These are the features. 1971cc petrol engine (120,000 miles, but engine has been regularly serviced and is in good condition). MOT until May 2024. 5 speed manual gearbox. New clutch fitted this year. Reversing sensors with video in rear-view mirror (makes reversing vehicle a doddle). New heavy-duty battery fitted this year, with easily detached terminal connector for periods home not being used. 2 gas cylinders supplied as part of sale. Large water storage tank. External storage area at rear. Awning (mechanism requires attention). Ladder to roof, which has a large luggage rack. Tow bar and electrics. Tyres in good condition. Receipts for all recent work/servicing. Approx dimensions – Length: 22 ft (6.7 mtrs), Width: 7 ft (2.12 mtrs), Height: 9.4 ft (2.86 mtrs), Weight: 3.1 tonnes (3100 kg) – can be driven with standard licence. Bodywork has age-related blemishes, but inside is in excellent condition. Excellent condition with thick seating cushions. Seating area with table. Seating area has 4 seatbelts for when travelling. 3 double beds – one over cab (can sleep 3 children), seating area converts into one, and the rear seating into another. Bedroom at rear can be self-contained by using the folding door. Habitation air conditioning (can also blow hot air). Electric/Gas water heater for kitchen sink and shower room. Kitchen area with lots of cupboards, cutlery/utensil drawers, ample worktop space, and sink with hot/cold mixer tap/draining board. 2-burners cooker with extractor fan and lights above hob. Separate portable oven will be included. 3-way fridge/freezer – 240v, 12v, gas. 3 x 240v lights and many 12v lights. Shower/toilet cubicle with electric flush toilet & hot/cold water sink/shower. Lots of 240v electric sockets + a 12v socket in kitchen area (as well as in driver’s cab). Wardrobe with good hanging and storage space. Opening windows (including back window) all with blinds. Opening roof skylight over above-cabin bed with flyscreen. Additional speakers for radio/CD in habitation area. Gauges for 12v power, water tank level, grey water tank level. Masses of storage cupboards and under-seating storage (plus the external storage space). Dual leisure batteries (easily accessed under driver/front passenger seats). 240v electric hook up. 2 x 200 watt solar panels on roof that charge the 2 leisure batteries. In addition, you can live completely off-grid for 24 hours+ as I have had a 3000 watt inverter fitted that converts the leisure batteries power to 240v. This system is connected to the whole 240v electrical circuit so every socket and appliance can utilise it – truly amazing. Home from home, this is a totally self-contained unit. All appliances can be demonstrated working. When you have children, having a brand spanking new, all gleaming machine is not a great idea. A motorhome such as this is not going to be spoilt because bits of grass and mud get brought in. It is ideal for a small family. As a member of the Camping and Caravan Club, I can also give you a handbook of all of their sites – I have often used them with this motorhome. Thanks for reading this – have a great day.
