Rare chance to buy a 'first owner for 28 years, genuine low mileage and garaged from new' VW Camper Van - I know what you are saying, "I haven't seen one like that available since Quentin and Tiff did Top Gear (before the days of the tall idiot, the short idiot and that frightfully nice James May fellow), surely there is some mistake with the price, it's worth loads more" etc., etc.
Offered to you lucky punters is a 1980, 2 litre air-cooled VW Type 25, twin slider model bus which has only done a genuine 40,000 miles (65,000 km).
This van was purchased new by the German Feuerwehr (or Trumpton, as we in Blighty would know them) as one of 106 emergency reserve vehicles kept at fire stations around Germany; to be used in the event of a Nuclear Disaster. Fortunately none of the cold war era tensions resulted in anyone dropping 'the big one' so these vans spent 30 years cosseted in nice warm fire stations, maintained to the highest standards, and ready to go at any time.
This particular van had very little use other than taking the Feuerwehr volleyball team to away matches at other fire station back-yards and occasional runs to the chip shop to buy supper for the hard working Feuerwehr Water Fairies, sorry, I mean Firemen.
The van was retired by Deutsche -Trumpton in 2008 and imported to the UK by the legendary RetroSteve at Eastfalia. It is now fully UK registered and has an MOT and Tax until December 2009. It is very reliable, starts first time, every time and is as cool as a penguin's gentlemen's regions!
It probably won't suit those of a shy and retiring disposition due to being bright orange, being lowered and having a set of lovely Porsche alloy wheels ('liberated' from a yuppie's Porsche Boxter, who was careless where he parked his pride and joy). It also still has a working blue light and siren so here's the disclaimer part of the ad. - blue lights are not legal unless you are driving an emergency services vehicle and so you should change the lens for a different colour, or cover it up, or you will get a stern talking to (or worse) by a member of the Constabulary. (It does look good though, so you could just claim ignorance of the law and just risk getting a ticket!)
Anyway, it's an 8 seater, 4 door VW T25 Camper Van, stupidly low mileage, excellent condition with absolutely zero rust, drives like new, turns heads everywhere and it's£4250.
REDUCED TO £3950
or available with standard wheels / tyres for £200 off the price
Come and buy it, you know it makes sense…………
Van is in Woking, Surrey.
Only really being sold as my old bay window bus is up for sale and I'd like to buy it back!
