VW t25/ T3 1.9 Petrol Auto-Sleeper 5 Speed Manual. Currently Not Running.
116000 miles.
Outskirts of Edinburgh.
Reluctantly selling my 1992 VW T25 camper project due to returning to university and simply not having the time or money to finish it.
I bought the van as a project and have had some great trips in it. It was reliable and great fun to own, but it has recently developed an engine issue and is currently a poor/non-runner due to no compression on cylinders 1 and 2. Apart from this, the van is mechanically sound and has had a considerable amount of work completed during my ownership.
Ideal project for someone mechanically minded looking for a classic camper with plenty of potential.

Sold as a project vehicle
A genuine sale of a much-loved project. Unfortunately, I no longer have the time to continue with it due to returning to university. It comes with a substantial amount of paperwork and evidence of work completed, and with the engine issue resolved it has the potential to make a fantastic camper once again. It is by no means perfect, and Iv tried to be as honest as possible.
£3,800 ono – sensible offers considered.
Worth aprox £9k when running.
Please note this is a project vehicle and is priced accordingly. Viewings are welcome and encouraged. Happy to discuss the work completed and provide additional photos, videos and paperwork. The van will need transported away.
