The Appeal

The T25 was the third evolution of the Volkswagen Type 2 concept. It retained the boxy cab-over-wheel silhouette of its predecessors but gained more powerful engines and longer-legged gearing - perfect for long-distance touring. naturally, the camper van conversions continued and here we have a great example from 1985.

This VW stands out with its well-maintained original interior and recent mechanical upgrades, ensuring it remains a reliable and enjoyable vehicle for future adventures. With a comprehensive service history and specialist care, this T25 Camper is a mightily tempting proposition.

The vendor assures us that it has been meticulously cared for, with all necessary mechanical work completed over the years as and when it was required.
