Motorhomepig is delighted to offer this iconic 1991 Pilote A-Class built on the legendary Talbot Express chassis. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of motorhoming history. Pilote A-Class models from this era were the pinnacle of luxury touring, known for their panoramic front views and clever use of space. With just 49,000 miles in 35 years, this vintage gem has spent most of its life being cherished rather than overworked.
Classic A-Class Layout & Features:
The "Magic" Pull-Down Bed: Being a true A-Class, it features the signature front pull-down double bed. This allows you to have a massive permanent bed that tucks away into the ceiling during the day, leaving your lounge fully functional.
4-Berth Versatility: The central dinette area, equipped with 4 travelling seatbelts, easily converts into a second double bed, making this a practical choice for small families or couples who want extra space.
Rear Utility Zone: The end-layout houses a surprisingly spacious bathroom and kitchen. This "split" design keeps the cooking and washing areas separate from the main living lounge.
Panoramic Driving: The wrap-around front windscreen offers a driving experience (and a view) that modern coachbuilt vans simply cannot match.
Recent Maintenance & Updates:
Engine & Chassis: Powered by the dependable Talbot 2.5L diesel engine with a manual "column shift" gearbox—a setup famous for its longevity and ease of maintenance.
Recent Upgrades: The owner has recently fitted a new hot water pump, ensuring the plumbing system is refreshed and ready for your first trip.
Mileage: At just 49,000 miles, the engine is remarkably "fresh" for a vehicle of this vintage.
MOT: The current MOT is valid until September 2026 (following its most recent 2025 pass).
Essential Information:
Supplied with 2 sets of keys.
Drive: Right-Hand Drive (RHD) with the classic elevated driving position.
Ownership: Confirmed HPI clear with no outstanding finance.
Authenticity: This is an honest, classic motorhome. While it retains its 90s charm, its low mileage makes it a solid foundation for anyone looking to enjoy "retro" touring or even a light rolling restoration.
Broker's Note:
The Talbot Express Pilote is a cult classic for a reason. They are incredibly well-built and offer a sense of space and light that is hard to find in modern equivalents. Finding one with sub-50k miles in the Cheltenham area is a rare treat. It’s a nostalgic, capable tourer that is ready to create new memories.
This vehicle is currently listed up as a project vehicle as it needs some work completing on the interior, this is reflected in the exceptionally low price.
We offer part exchange of any vehicle type including cars, motorhomes, motorbikes or any asset of value. Warranty options from 3 to 36 months are available (subject to terms and conditions).
Walk-around videos are available upon request. Motorhomepig are proud to offer this as a broker, available to view in GL53, Cheltenham.
