1981 VW Transporter T3 (T25) Hi-Top Campervan (Air-Cooled)

£11,000 OVNO

Listed 26/03/2026

I am selling my 1981 Hi-Top Camper which I’ve owned and maintained since April 2021. It is a clean, well-maintained, air-cooled classic camper with extensive history and significant recent work. The van is roadworthy, has undergone a recent (non-registered) MOT check, and is ready to drive away.

Key Details:

  • 1981 VW Transporter T3 (T25) Hi-Top Camper (Air-Cooled)
  • Located in Keynsham, Bristol
  • Odometer reads '05349.8' with van covering 105,349 miles total
  • Tax & MOT exempt (classed as Historic Vehicle on V5C)
  • Large history file of paperwork and receipts.

Mechanical Condition:

  • Replacement engine fitted in 2010 (approx. 18k miles ago)
  • Gearbox replaced in 2018 (approx. 6k miles ago)
  • New brake calipers fitted in 2025
  • Fuel tank removed, inspected, cleaned and resprayed with new sender unit and pipes in 2025
  • Two new rear tyres fitted in October 2025

Interior:

  • Front seats and door cards professionally retrimmed in 2025
  • All interior appliances, including hob (with grille), and refrigerator both fully functional
  • Pillows, curtains, and interior lighting included
  • Clean and tidy interior throughout

Exterior:

  • Chassis is solid and in very good condition
  • Inner panels treated with wax oil preservative
  • No black underseal – easy to inspect condition of underneath as required

Additional Info:

  • Outwell awning included
  • Portable toilet included
  • Portable gas bottle hob for outdoor use included

Overall:
Overall it’s a good, honest and clean campervan that’s been cared for with plenty of time and effort invested . The van starts, runs, and drives well, with regular trips out to keep everything moving and lubricated.

I’m asking for £11,000 or very near offer, and would encourage viewings to fully appreciate.

Thanks, Gary
