Here we have my 1993 Talbot Express 1500 D camper. This is an honest, mechanically refreshed project that, in the right hands, could quickly be turned into a beautiful classic camper. It now comes with a fresh, long MOT with all necessary mechanical and structural defects fully rectified, saving you the hardest part of the work! Unfortunately, I simply do not have the time to take the cosmetic refurbishment any further.

π The Good Bits
- Freshly MOT’d: Peace of mind that the structural and mechanical essentials are legally sorted and road-ready.
- Mechanically Sound: The durable 2.5L Peugeot-derived diesel engine runs beautifully, is known for its incredible longevity, starts instantly on the key, and offers great fuel economy.
- Solid Chassis: No structural welding required.
- 100% Dry: The entire living/habitation area is completely dry with absolutely no leaks, water ingress, or damp.
- Excellent Foundation: A brilliant, solid base for anyone wanting to do a light cosmetic restoration without worrying about mechanical failure.
π§ What Content/Cosmetics Need Doing (The Project Part)
- The rubber seals around the side door need replacing.
- The entire vehicle requires a thorough, deep valet/clean.
- Minor cosmetic areas around the exterior and interior habitation would benefit from some TLC.
π Overall
This is a 33-year-old classic camper, not a brand-new showroom vehicle. However, because the MOT is sorted and all defects are rectified, the major mechanical hurdles are already cleared. It is a very solid, safe, and dry base with huge potential to become a fantastic retro head-turner.
- Serious buyers only.
- Viewing is highly welcome and recommended.
- Part Exchange (PX) Welcome: Specifically looking for a Mercedes Sprinter LWB or XLWB.
