Italian motorhome brand Roller Team looks all set for further conquests in the UK, thanks to an extended portfolio of products for the 2019 season, Caravan Times can reveal exclusively.
Already one of the leading imported marques, it’s set to unveil two high-top van conversions – two-berth Taleno L and four-berth Taleno R – with a sub- £40,000 starting price for the former. Both are based on Fiat’s ever-popular Ducato, using the 5.99m-long model, with the two-liter, 115bhp engine as standard but also with upgrades to any version of the 2.3-liter unit, plus
Comfort-matic transmission for those who prefer auto’.
Taleno L comes with a twin rear settee floorplan, while the R features two double beds at the back.
The Talenos will actually be built in the UK, at the Auto-Trail factory. Auto-Trail is a sister brand to Roller Team in the Trigano Group. Indeed, we can reveal the UK plant will also be making new UK-specification van conversion models for distant Trigano cousins Benimar and Chausson, again for the season ahead.
Roller Team’s coachbuilt ranges – T-Line, Auto-Roller, Zefiro and A-class Pegaso – continue to be made in Italy. All Zefiro models will be available on Fiat Ducato bass as well as their original Ford Transits.
There’s an exciting new addition to the Pegaso line-up, too. The 6m-long Pegaso 590 might just be the most competitively priced A-class in the UK. As we write, Roller Team is looking to offer it on-the-road from £59,900, including a comprehensive standard specification.
