A rare opportunity to own 'Artemis', a beautiful and increasingly sought after classic 1986 VW T25 Holdsworth Villa campervan. Just two owners from new, comprehensive service history, and significant recent investment. 2.1 litre unleaded engine with automatic transmission, she starts, runs and drives superbly. The camper has been meticulously maintained throughout its life, including a recent full service and oil change carried out by a VW specialist garage. MOT valid until February 2027, and from April 2027 she will qualify for Historic Vehicle status, making her tax exempt. Finished in the traditional T25 off-white paintwork, the bodywork presents exceptionally well for a vehicle of this age. There are a few small spots of rust, as would be expected on a 40 year-old camper, but nothing significant and easily addressed if desired. In 2024, over £2000 was invested in professionally upgrading the interior whilst carefully preserving the original character and vintage charm. Improvements include professionally stretched internal carpeting throughout, bespoke Orla Kiely blackout curtains fitted to the original curtain rails, reupholstered rear rock and roll bed, new flooring, and refreshed cupboard coverings. The result is a stylish, comfortable interior that retains the classic VW appeal. Other features include: swivel front seats, two original tables, pop-top roof with inflatable mattress platform, original sink and gas hob, original cassette radio and fridge (neither of the latter two are currently working so would require repair or straightforward replacement if desired). Last summer the gear box was fully reconditioned by experts and fitted by a VW specialist. A new back box was also fitted to the exhaust. Current mileage is 99331.
This is a rare opportunity to own a classic T25 in fantastic condition, not to be missed. The campervan has excellent provenance and low ownership. If cared for, as she has been, she will make a great investment. This is a VERY reluctant sale, we are genuinely devastated to let her go but changing circumstances mean we simply won't be able to use her as much as she deserves. She has brought us lots a fun as a family and she remains a beautiful, reliable camper ready to be driven and enjoyed immediately. The price reflects the quality of this vehicle (a quick search will show she's actually well within the value window for such a camper) and we politely request no time wasters please, but sensible offers will be considered. Happy to send additional details and other photos.
