On the Surface:

This 1986 Volkswagen Transporter T25 Camper Conversion, finished in a retro Orange and White colour scheme, offers classic camper styling and great potential. Fitted with a ‘Pop-up’ roof conversion completed in 2010, the van is described as being in need of some TLC, making it an ideal opportunity for a hands-on enthusiast looking to personalise and refresh a solid base. Inside, it’s well-equipped for getaways, featuring a rock and roll bed, gas fridge, double hob and grill, sink with electric water pump, storage cupboards, and an additional sleeping platform in the roof space.

Maintenance & History:

The camper has been in The Vendor’s ownership for the past 15 years, during which it has served as a much-enjoyed leisure vehicle. Originally a high-top panel van, it was converted in 2010 to a pop-top camper, significantly enhancing its usability and appeal. The long-term ownership and consistent upkeep reflect a commitment to keeping the van functional, if now a little in need of cosmetic attention. Mechanically, this T25 has seen consistent investment to keep it roadworthy and functional. In 2021, it received a reconditioned engine, along with a new distributor and water pump. A new clutch was fitted in 2022, and in March 2025, the vehicle underwent extensive remedial chassis welding, addressing structural needs. A fresh MOT is valid until April 2026 and the van is offered with a detailed file of maintenance paperwork and receipts dating back to 2010, documenting the work carried out over the years.

The Model:

The T25, also known as the Type 25 or T3, was Volkswagen’s third-generation Transporter and the last of the rear-engine models. This example is powered by a 1.9-litre water-cooled petrol engine, mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox.

Sale Insight:

This VW T25 Camper Conversion presents a great opportunity for a classic camper enthusiast. With much of the major mechanical work already completed and a recent MOT, it’s a solid foundation for someone looking to restore and enjoy a usable classic camper.
