TALLULAH - the 1978 Hymer Motorhome

Our wonderful motorhome adventure began when we answered an advertisement for an old Hymer. It needed a bit of work, but undaunted, we went ahead with its purchase. 

It's true to say that, despite loving it immensely, we only managed to find the time for a few trips away on her - the old girl that we endearingly named 'Tallulah' (Tallulah The T-Reg).

Nothing lasts forever, and in the first half of 2018 we reluctantly decided to part company with Tallulah, and make way for someone else to cherish her as much as we did. 

I'm sure that Steve, the new owner, will help Tallulah through her old age, giving medicine when she needs it, plenty of tender loving care, and heaps of affection - just like we did.

I'll still leave the old pictures up on my blog - I've come to realise there are many many fans of the old Hymers out there. So, these pictures are for you.

Here is our Hymer Mobil, bought by us in March 2013. I found it on the 'Preloved' website, and it was being sold by the widow of the owner who had owned and kept it garaged in South London for the previous 28 years. Before that it had one previous owner in Germany since its manufacture in 1978. It cost us the princely sum of £3,200, which is no secret as that fact was disclosed to viewers when it was featured by Andy Harris on The Motorhome Channel in April 2014.
