1990 Auto-Sleepers Flair

Auto-Sleeper Flair (Talbot Express) – 1990 (H Reg) – H180 FJB

Manual | Diesel | 4-Berth | 3 Travelling Seatbelts

Mileage: 41,000 (Ultra-Low)

Condition: Classic Character – Significant Structural Investment – Ideal Enthusiast Project

Motorhomepig is proud to offer this 1990 Auto-Sleeper Flair. The Flair is a beloved classic known for its clever use of space and robust British craftsmanship. This particular example is a rare find due to its exceptionally low mileage of just 41,000 miles.

The "Flair" Classic Layout:

• Versatile 4-Berth Sleeping: * Main Cabin: The lounge area converts into a comfortable double bed.

  • Elevating Roof: The classic pop-top roof provides a secondary sleeping area, perfect for two children, or serves as excellent additional storage when parked.

• Seating & Travel: Configured with 3 legal travelling seatbelts, offering a practical setup for a small family or a couple.

• Functional Kitchen: Features the original Auto-Sleeper galley with a gas hob, grill, and fridge, providing all the essentials for vintage touring.

• Compact Dimensions: At a gross weight of 2440kg, this vehicle is nimble, easy to drive on a standard licence, and fits into most standard parking spaces.

Recent Mechanical & Structural Investment:

The current owner has worked hard to address the common "age" hurdles of this classic model:

• Structural Integrity: The vehicle has recently undergone extensive welding, addressing structural concerns and ensuring a solid frame for years to come.

• Electrical Refresh: It benefits from a brand-new engine battery and a brand-new leisure battery, ensuring reliable starting and 12v power for off-grid stops.

• Bespoke Fixes: To overcome the scarcity of vintage parts, a custom bypass switch has been installed for the washer fluid, ensuring the vehicle remains functional and MOT-compliant.

• 2026 Readiness: The last MOT was completed following the major structural work, providing a clear path forward for the next owner.

Transparent Condition & "Enthusiast" Notes:

At Motorhomepig, we believe in total honesty to ensure the right match for our vehicles:

• Mechanical Note: The owner reports a technical challenge with a "brakes flux" component. Due to the age of the Talbot chassis, this specific part is no longer in production, so the vehicle would benefit from a specialist or enthusiast who can source a workaround or refurbished unit.

• Cosmetic Character: This is an honest, unrestored classic. There are visible bits of rust and evidence of previous filler work. It is a "clean as you go" project that would truly shine with some cosmetic TLC.

Broker's Note:

The Auto-Sleeper Flair is a charming, nostalgic way to see the country. Finding one with 41,000 miles is incredibly rare. While there are a few "classic car" quirks to manage—specifically the brake part and some cosmetic tidying—the fact that the expensive welding work is already done is a massive bonus. This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiast to take over a low-mileage classic and finish it to their own taste.
