Sure. It's a 1979 Hymer Mobil. From what I can tell it is a 521 B, and the body is Vauxhall. The engine is by Opel. It's a 4 gear plus Reverse manual, with non-power stearing.
I'm a bit confused about the engine though. Is it a 1.8L, 2.0L or 2.3L 4 cylinder gas engine canted over at 45 degrees?
If so, that is a Vauxhall engine, not Opel. If it's a diesel, then I have no idea!
Oh, my opinion only, that is a Class A as it did not use any of the original body sheet metal other than the radiator grille.
