Caddies104 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi May be of help, but my autosleeper 2.0 ltr petrol, year 2000, on a boxer, does around 25mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I have had a couple of these years ago and if you want to press on a bit and keep up with traffic around about 21 - 24 mpg is more like it from my experience of some 50,000 miles in total in Talbot Talisman / Executives. If you ease up when touring, go gently and keep it around 40 mph or so you may reach or better 25 on levelish terrain but not if you are touring a hilly area with lots of narrow roads, junctions, passing places and continual slow downs and stops and starts! It's a much quieter motor than the diesels of the era and a much more pleasant environment to be in on a long haul and Auto Sleepers construction and durability of that era are second to none so IF (and it is a BIG IF) it is in good order with a rust free cab and chassis it should serve you well and long. RUST is the killer of the Talbot Express - buyer beware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
