  • Introducing Erika, a left-hand drive motorhome from 1991, based on a Fiat Ducato, and coachbuilt in Germany by Tabbert.
    We are complete motorhome novices, so join us on this voyage into the unknown so that you can laugh at our mistakes and point at our stupidity.
    The FFB Classic 570: powered by the Italians, coachbuilt by the Germans and driven by an idiot from Britain.

    Ciao! Hello! I bought my FFB Tabbert Classic 560 in 2012! My family and me (5 persons and a dog) love it: it's a excellent motorhome, very old but beautiful👍😉

      Brilliant! They're such wonderful old thing - built to last. Enjoy the summer in your FFB.

    You've excelled yourself with this one, well bought!

      Thank you. It’s either going to be an inspired purchase or a total disaster.
      Either way, it will happen on TH-cam!

    A top class purchase, well found and thanks for posting. I’d be interested to see any updates. I have the FFB classic 660 based on a Talbot Express with the 2.5 TD engine (presumably the same as your Fiat). I have an issue with my control panel at the moment which I never really understood anyway so I’d be interested to see you do a video on yours if you’ve managed to suss out how it all works. I’ve seen one dude explain it here on TH-cam but sadly in Polish or similar..

    • @Petrolblog
      @Petrolblog  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Aha, a 660 owner - all that space! Further videos will be coming up, so I'll be sure to include the control panel for you. Yes, the 2.5 TD engine is the same as mine.

    motorhomes are not my thing, but that looks like a nice, useful buy, love the 90s interior! It may be a good idea to have a trailer with a car to use as a launch, a bit like yachts do: Park up and set up, and then to save you from having to pack the whole thing up when you want to explore, simply unload the extra vehicle from a trailer, and use that to explore, although it may struggle a bit if it doesn't have very much usable power, maybe an engine uprate?

    I really like these. Did you sell her recently? They seem like a really good alternative to having to pass my C1. Nice and spacious, especially the 660

    • @Petrolblog

      They're brilliant things, Chloe. Yes, we've sold ours; still missing her. Good luck with your search.

    could you inform why you sold it?
    tell little about your experience? ( pros, cons, attention points)
    also for which price did you sell it?
    thanks im advance ..

    I have the same buss, it is impossible to find out what mark and model is the windshield,mine is broken. Is it possible to find out in england? Would realy appreciate your help.

    • @Petrolblog

      I'm afraid we've sold ours, but I remember reading on a forum that windscreens are hard to find. That said, it should be able to create a custom windscreen. A classic insurer might cover the cost up to, say, £1500.

    Turbo diesel or intercooled turbo diesel?

      @Petrolblog  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No intercooler, but I believe one could be added.

      Congratulations! A fine choice of motorhome. Guessing you're based in a more civilised part of Europe? Have fun on your travels. I'd love to hear how you get on. I'd also be keen to see some photos, if you're happy to share them.

    It shouldn't be that slow - check the turbo waste gates not rusted open - I have a none turbo Autostratus and that 86 hp yours should be about 110hp

    • @Petrolblog
      @Petrolblog  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Trev. Yeah, we were going to check the turbo when she emerged from hibernation, but the lockdown has scuppered our plans. Will sort when possible and report back.
