Talbot Express. Full Review. Warts and All.

Well it's been in the planning for a while. So here it is a Tour of Herb our old Talbot Express Rambler GL Motorhome. Possibly up for sale soon. Engine is a non turbo 2.5litre Diesel Engine with lots of torque but only 75Hp.

Really well-done tour! Thanks for explaining things so thoroughly. Enjoy your travels!

Thanks George for a brilliant in depth review of your van . Herb is in magnificent condition and it’s a very versatile van. Take care 🚐👍

Watched you over the years doing bits to the van just put bid on 😂

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Thanks for getting in touch. The auction has been a strange one for me. Bids being cancelled and silly emails and such. Not sure what's happening with bidding etc. As it's changing rapidly. Anyway keeping fingers crossed for you. Cheers from old George

[@InterceptorSC]

£4500 my limit I'm afraid hope sale goes well .

[@jaynepearson187]

I like your camper

Hi George & Jane. Thank you for the Guided tour of your van. I think it's About time I did a Tour of my Van Again. Great video. Cheers from Jeff and Helen.

[@kingfornjot]

Fantastic video thank you for sharing your amazing campervan

[@roaminginraymond]

You've done some great little extras to your van. It's amazing the different layouts they actually made in such a small space. A very thorough tour of your little Rambler.

Thanks guys. Cheers from old George and Jane.

My old Talbot has done rightly over the past five years of ownership too, they are hard to beat for the money. I keep the single bed up most of the time as I don't really sit down but like to sit back and kick my feet up 👍

[@LornaMcfarlane-bb5yd]

Hi. Can you tell me. Is it expensive to insure an old campervan and how much is the road tax???

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Hi Lorna. We sold the Talbot 2 years ago. I cannot tell you the exact insurance cost as we are pensioners and it depends on age and if its a second vehicle. However insurance was the same as our Fiat Doblo Car around £300. But it depends on mileage you plan to do. Ours was UK only and no more than 6k miles a year. Look up the Talbot Owners Forum TOC on Internet full of info. Cheers from old George

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Ps It's a motorhome.

[@louisesymonds9963]

Such a comfortable versatile van. Thank you for the tour.

[@mowerracing]

[@darrentaff8374]

Is your auction still running as you've not given a link . If finished could I ask what it made . I'm interested if still available . All best 👍

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Start bid is 3.5k . Its only been up 1 day 6 to go. Its the one with pullout awning in photo. Notsure how to do link

[@markappleton4926]

Very nice! Did you buy the screen and blinds. Been looking for some… sounds like Herb is about to get a new owner!

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

The insect and screens that go up and down are all original the wooden ones I made from ply wood that fit drivers, passenger and rear doors. Curtains Jane made from a metallic backed star pattern picnic blanket. Cheers from old George and Jane
