‘FJO 94V’ is a vibrant looking example of Volkswagen T25 four berth camper van from 1980. The T25 arrived in 1979 as the follow up model to the familiar “bay window” model and, confusingly, was known as the Vanagon in the USA and the T3 in much of Europe. ‘FJO 94V’ hails from 1980, just a year into T25 production and is thought to be a UK supplied and specified model. ‘FJO 94V’ underwent a colour change in 2017 from its original blue and white to its current green and white. It is clear that the four berth interior has enjoyed a significant refitting more recently, too, as it presents very nicely. ‘FJO 94V’ benefits from being MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax, based on age and is being offered here with no reserve. ‘FJO 94V’ is reported to “start, run and move” but will require recommissioning before road use due to a period of two years or so since last being used.
That 2017 green and white livery certainly lends ‘FJO 94V’ a distinctive look and its single radiator grill marks this out as an air-cooled version of the T25 as opposed to the later water cooled version. ‘FJO 94V’ features plenty of Westfalia decals as well as some other VW appropriate ones. The bodywork and paintwork both exhibit some minor issues which are reflected in our photographic package. The cab of ‘FJO 94V’ is finished in black and features a pair of non-VW high backed seats which exhibit noticeable wear as well as some tape based repair. In the rear the high top lends this space plenty of standing head room as well as being the location for two of the four berths. The other two are courtesy of the rock and roll bed which converts from the bench seat in the rear cabin. ‘FJO 94V’ offers full camping credentials with a built in gas cooker, hob and 12/ 240V fridge. What’s more insulated window covers are present, as is a twin battery, leisure electrical system with plug in site hook up. The condition of the interior is rated as “good” with the paintwork and bodywork garnering an “average.”
‘FJO 94V’ features the well-known 1, 600cc air-cooled, flat four boxer engine located in the rear of the T25. This is mated to a four speed manual transmission. As reported a mechanical check and recommissioning will be required to the mechanical systems before use. The engine, gearbox and electrics all attract an “average” rating.
