Motorhomepig is pleased to present this 1994 Compass Drifter. For those looking for an affordable entry into the motorhome world, the Compass Drifter is a classic choice, known for its solid build and clever use of space. Built on the reliable Talbot Express chassis, this vehicle has covered just over 73,000 miles in its 30-year life—averaging only 2,400 miles a year. It’s an honest, well-loved example that has been modernized with essential heating for year-round use.
Fresh MOT for Total Confidence: To ensure the vehicle is 100% road-ready for its next adventure, the current owner has committed to providing a brand-new MOT for the successful buyer upon agreement of sale.

The "Drifter" Classic Layout:

• The Living Hub: Features a spacious central lounge with long parallel settees. This area is the heart of the van, offering plenty of room for dining or relaxing, and effortlessly converts into a large, comfortable double bed.

• Over-Cab Bunk: A signature feature of the Drifter is the large Over-Cab Double Bed. This provides a permanent sleeping area (perfect for kids or as an extra bedroom) without taking up any floor space during the day.

• Rear Utility Zone: Designed with a practical End Bathroom and End Wardrobe layout. This keeps the "noisy" areas of the van separate from the main living zone and provides excellent storage for longer trips.

• 4-Berth Flexibility: While it sleeps four people, it is equipped with 2 legal travelling seatbelts (Driver & Passenger), making it an ideal choice for a couple who wants the luxury of permanent bed options and extra space for guests.

Key Features & Modern Upgrades:

• Winter-Ready Heating: The owner has professionally installed a Chinese Night Diesel Heater. This is a fantastic upgrade that provides efficient, dry heat quickly, allowing you to enjoy the van even on the coldest winter nights without relying solely on gas.

• Classic Kitchen: Features a full cooker with oven, grill, and hob, a fridge with a small freezer compartment, and a sink with a draining board—everything you need for a weekend away or a longer tour.

• Storage Galore: Between the large rear wardrobe, overhead lockers, and the space under the settees, you’ll never struggle for room for your holiday essentials.

Maintenance & Technical Specs:

• Mechanical Status: The most recent MOT and Service were completed in 2025, ensuring the van is roadworthy and ready for the season.

• Drivetrain: Features the reliable 5-speed Manual gearbox and right-hand drive (RHD) configuration.

• Integrity: Supplied with 2 sets of keys and confirmed HPI clear with no outstanding finance.

• Licence Friendly: Typically rated well under 3,500kg, this motorhome can be driven by anyone with a standard Category B (car) driving licence.

Broker's Note:

There is something incredibly charming about a 90s Compass Drifter. They were built with thick, quality wood veneers that newer vans often lack. This particular M-reg example stands out because of the Diesel Heater upgrade—it's a massive bonus that makes "wild camping" or early-season touring much more comfortable. At 73k miles, this Talbot engine has plenty of life left for its next owner to make memories in.
