    love the van, they were well made and thought out with a few modern mods should make a great van ,what should you look for in purchasing one and how many mpg ,is it swb mwb which makes parking ideal you got one thing id like power steering which aint a common thing on the petrol ones think all the diesel have power steering just subscribed be interesting to see what you do with the van upgrade wise not too much so not great expense you sure get your moneys worth with the talbots ,not stupid money like most and not built like that a tidy little van cheers sam

    • @VanOnTour
      @VanOnTour Před měsícem

      Thanks Sam. They are more like a medium wheelbase but they fit in normal car spaces just. Yes the power steering is a great difference compared to not having it in these vans. I've only got 2 more mods to do, diesel heater and a Lifepo4 battery going in this week. You need to look out for rust on these vans, normally the inner wings and the shuttle panel but these are available new. After some servicing and tweaking I can get 30mpg on a run on the petrol vans.

    Nice Campervan, great order for it's age. My Talbot Express (93) is similar but different layout, I'm around 5 ft 10 and have to lye down from corner to corner (partially unto the front seat) to sleep with the bed set up like that. I've always wondered if my van was narrower. I'd have preferred a petrol engine tbh, I've a big bill coming, new head, glow plugs, water pump and Timing belt being fitted; the old head did the gasket in because it had a crack in it apparently. New sills and other work cost me a small fortune three years ago. I've had it almost six years and have so much invested in it that I will probably keep it until it craps out...at least it's still on the road I guess and still much cheaper than anything newer. Good to see you two uploading again :)
