Highlights

  • Recent service including new starter motor, brake lines, steering rack upgrade, and new slave cylinder

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. Recent upgrades include a new starter motor, brake lines, an upgraded steering rack, and a new slave cylinder, ensuring it runs smoothly and is ready to enjoy
