Talbot Express vehicles were first made in n1982. Ours succumbed to the old metal moth. All four rear spring hangers and a good proportion of the chassis had almost disappeared overnight! The inside was damp and it was too costly to repair. But the engine and gearbox were just perfect (for 1960/70's tech!) But if anyone is looking for chassis and body parts for these vans, there is a guy called Simon, who makes them. Did the cab on ours and made a great job of it. He no longer repairs, just supplies parts.

And just to add to the above, he may not do repairs but he does have someone local to him who he recommends and is local to him !
 
This thread may actually help a few vans stay on the road.
 
Hmm, maybe not.

I put "Talbot Express vehicles were first made in n1982. Ours succumbed to the old metal moth"

And I got nothing. I thought forum comments came up on a search.
