Wanted old campervan wanted

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Yo!!! I am looking for a campervan. Summat like a Talbot Express autosleeper kind of thing. I think I am gonna jack my job in and bugger off to Spain in it for a few months till i run out of coins, then probably jump off a cliff (joke) anyone know of owt? Budget is about £3000 +/- £500. No petrols or 1.9 NA xud's please. 2.5 sofims or turbo XUDs welcome. PM me!!!

This seems cheap, and is the "full fat" 2.8 TD job.

Ideally you want a Trafic 1.6D though.

Fitted with the Lombardini diesel, ideal* for for long continental trips.

Here's an XUD turbo:

 

 

And here's a SOFIM for a bag less, but somewhat further away:

If you really want to travel in style though, what you need is one of these:

I'm after a camper but with a budget closer to £500...

[Mr_Bo11ox]

That Renner Master posted by Lacquer Peel does look good, its actually in my watch list already!

[SambaS]

Been to test drive a couple of Express campers... Still considering something more stealthy like a converted panel van. Just cos sometimes I want to blend in and fuj the world off - dont look at me!

[Lord Sterling]

Interesting that this has Opel Monza alloys.

 

Good luck wih your find/trip Mr Bol.

That Master looks like a good deal at first glance, but there is no water system at all.....no tanks, no sink, no water heater, nowt. No fridge either and no cooker, just a wee camping stove. In fact, its just a normal van with a load of cupboards in the back and a few mains sockets.  Depends what you are looking for, but thats starting to look kinda dear for a van with no equipment.

 

The Td autsleeper is a proper camper with all the gear and the luxury* of a chemical shitter too.

 

The 2.5 is half-way between the two - has cooker and fridge and filler for a water tank but I see no vent for a water heater - might be cold water only. But I am always suspicious of the old "bought it, never used it and am now selling it" thing from anyone who is not an autoshiter. Reading between the lines it sounds like it might have problems.

I'm off to look at the XUD turbo one that Wuvz posted, later this morning. Exciting times!

[Honey Badger]

Is Moog still selling his transit conversion?

[Pillock]

Travel the country as a mobile mechanic specialising in extracting Latte Frappe Macciato from mobile kettles. Buy a big enough camper for a parts washer and a head skimmer, become self-sufficient

[smellmycheese]

Bloke round the corner from me has a real old merc motorhome for sale. Wierd ugly lookin thing diesel motor I can find out more if you like

[worldofceri]

£2700.

2.3l diesel.

[Lacquer Peel]

Is 1991 too early for an XUD 1.9TD? Is it Fiat's 1.9TD?

As long as it has enough power to pull itself and a Perkins-powered SEAT 124 on an A frame it doesn't matter.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Theres a Citroen C25 version on the bay with a 1.9D (non-turbo) XUD. That must barely crack 40mph FFS

One of these?

 

 

I had one: Pig nosed Mercedes Autotrail.

 

Absolutely brilli...  actually it was Autoshiteâ„¢ - but tremendous fun.

[Keymaster]

My mate Simon runs a business repairing Talbot Express campers. He is never short of work!!!

 

Defo worth having a look at the pics of the jobs he posts up on his website to see where they all rot out.

 

He also has a 2.5td LHD for sale but no price on it.

N/A though i reckon, but think of it this way, you get to spend longer away.

This cant be slow, it's a sport bus.

[The Moog]

Yep selling mine. Sent PM.

 

Got the 2.5di

[mat_the_cat]

£3.6k! Have LT prices gone up that much? I notice it has a split charge unit yet still somehow the fridge managed to flattern the battery...

[Cavcraft]

The garage where my son worked once spent the best parts of two-three weeks welding up one of those 1991-ish Citroen/Peugeot camper vans. It was eye wateringly rotten, it seems the front end suffers the most, especially inner/outer wings and round the windscreen.
