Hope you can help me.

Which do you feel is the preferred option assuming that the AutoSleeper Harmony/Duetto bodies are identical in quality..

1994 Talbot Express 2.0 Petrol 42k miles or 1998 For Transit 2.0 Petrol 64k miles (the latter is £1000 more expensive). Both have FSH. We intend doing circa £5k miles a year.

Thanks in anticipation

Not much in it really, you are paying an extra £1,000 for a younger model. OK it has a little more mileage on it but both are still low for their age.
Personally, I would try to find a turbo diesel instead if that is possible within your budget.

Thanks for the feedback Trevor. Only turbo diesels I can find in my price bracket £8/10k have mileages 100k +, so thought a low mileage petrol might be a better option. Mrs Buzz is sold on Autosleeper Harmony.

Will keep your details on file as you are close to us

Cheers

If you are only planning to do 5000 a year the lower mpg is less of a concern
Pick the one you like best
A petrol van will be harder to shift though if you decided to change later
Before we bought our van (a diesel) i was worried about the cost of fuel but it is not that big a concern if you are not going vast distances every week

point taken re mileage, however is Ford more thought of than a Talbot?

May be easier to get bits for the Ford as some Talbot spares are getting hard to find
Head lights etc
But I would go for general condition and lack of rust
