Myrtle the Turtle! Our 'new' camper, a recent upgrade from a Mitsubishi Delica L300. Currently undergoing engine and gearbox service in readiness for a few weeks on the continent. Citroen C25 1.9D, 86k miles on the clock and a refurbished interior. Dry as a bone and sooooo cosy;)

Good for you Lenny, and I hope you "Sally forth" in her for many a year.
Happy travelling!!!!!!!!
 
looks nice and cosy miller. I was going to say Lenny will be after the go faster front spoiler, but he obviously missed it. Sally looks naked without one:eek:

Should keep going for many years to come.

Regardless of the name put on the front, That there bus is a 'Talbot'! Mine is a smaller van type with a pop up top and has the 'T' badge where yours has the Citroen stripes. They come under many names, but a 'Talbot' it is! It all started with 'Rootes Group' in Maidstone, Kent. It later became "hillman', makers of the famous 'Husky' and models such as, Minx, Imp, Horizon, Avenger and so on! It became 'Talbot' about half way through the 80s when we saw the 'Avenger' suddenly change its make and the Talbot Express van came on the scene. 'Peugeot' stepped in and the dear old 'Express' van started sprouting camper bodies being sold under different names. The Citroen being one of them, Fiat another etc.
Here endeth the lesson!

I had two Hillman wimps and two Talbot Horizons over the years. Those Horizons were famous for their tappet rattle along with the Talbot Alpines, I don't think they ever figured out how make them quiet. Anyone remember the economy gauge they used to have on the Horizons??, if you kept the needle in the green zone you were supposed to be driving it at its most economical. Front wheel drive and no power steering - them were the days!!! :rolleyes: :eek:
