Description:
For sale is our beloved, high-specification 1987 Volkswagen T25 high-top camper. This is the highly desirable 2.1L petrol water-cooled variant paired with a rare factory automatic gearbox, making it an incredibly smooth, powerful, and easy classic cruiser.
While the chassis shows an honest 190k miles, it benefits from a brand-new replacement engine fitted in 2017. It also had a complete respray at the same time.

>4-Berth Sleeping: Equipped with a classic lower Rock-and-Roller bed and a upper high-top bunk space—perfect for a or small adult.

Complete Turn-Key Accessories Included (£600+ value):
This van is being sold as a complete package with everything you need to drive straight to a campsite this weekend:

Honest Assessment / Condition:
This is an original classic which needs ongoing care and some minor improvements:
There is typical, seam rust along the exterior panel seams.
There is a slight crack/hole in the fiberglass roof that will need basic sealing to remain perfectly weather-tight.
The interior ceiling liner needs to be recovered.
Contact & Viewings:
The van starts, runs, and drives well.
