1987 VW Caravelle T25 high‑top camper in blue, great project for someone who loves these vans and is happy to take on an engine swap. Head gasket has gone, so assume it will need a replacement engine or full rebuild and will need to be trailered away.
MOT runs until February 2026, with an advisory for corrosion on both rear outer sills (MOT sheet in photos). Showing around 70,000 miles.
Original camper interior is mid‑refresh: usable as it is but would benefit from more TLC. Gas/electric Electrolux fridge, twin‑burner hob, sink and water pump all working on last use. 12v control panel works and there’s a rock‑and‑roll bed, table and plenty of storage space. Heater currently blows a fuse, so will need diagnosing/repair.
Electrics include a lithium leisure battery with split‑charge relay (charges while driving) and 240v electric hook‑up which is working. Up front there’s a modern head unit with Bluetooth/CarPlay‑style screen and reversing camera.
We’ve had loads of adventures in this van and it’s been a brilliant little home on wheels, but I don’t have the time or space to take on the engine and interior project it now needs. Ideal base for a T25 enthusiast or anyone looking for a winter restoration with most of the camper kit already in place. Located in Twickenham (TW area).
£3,500 ono.
