Description
Yep, we've all been there, you're looking for a pretty cool VW camper and you're sick of trawling the internet and ebay only to be met with either tatty builder's vans with blown engines or embarrassingly over-priced vans that you just about have to remortgage the house to afford!
Well, you can stop looking now... and before you say it, you're welcome.
Laid before your very snappers is my absolutely cool-as-a-penguin's-pink-bits VW T25 cool has hell retro V DUB camper! what makes it so cool? well, weirdly, its imperfections...
What I'm getting at is that it's an on the road, mot'd until OCT/2016 (currently taxed and insured too but new laws say that can't be carried over) camper - without the boring drab, dark interior you usually find! why? well, life can be pretty pants, most of our jobs suck, motorway traffic sucks, bills suck and being normal and following the crowd sucks, so when you pack up your old VW to head out on a road trip adventure, you need to escape life and smile a while... and let's face it, when you're parked up at the beach with a nice cold beer sat in your very own RETRO V DUB, how can you not be happy?!?

So, the outside... well, I'm an honest kinda guy, so I'll tell the truth (but don't worry, the bad bits make it good!)... the body isn't phenomenal, don't get me wrong, you can happily drive it down the motorway without having to put a paper bag over your head, it's just tired, bubbly, repaired, and a little crusty in parts (but then to be fair, so am I) but I'm kinda playing it down a bit, I've seen WAY worse at the shows! It does need work if you want a 9k bus, but I want 4.5, that's half, so please take this into consideration and don't let me weep at night whilst you ask me what's the minimum I want it, as I simply won't reply to you. The exhaust is blowing a bit at the manifold, there's a hole in the drivers step,and that's it. There are scabs round the van, but best come and check it out.
a classic fella, and isn't by any means perfect, but because of that you can happily park him absolutely anywhere without a strange paranoid look on your face whenever you walk more than 20 feet away from him, and if someone happens to open their door into his side at Tesco, you won't be found on the floor in a jibbering wreck, simply shrug your shoulders and add it to the list of stories he'll happily help you make...
Engine wise there's not a whole deal of 'race car' about it, but lets be honest, every square mile of our roads are plastered with cameras anyway so think of it as a 'points saving vehicle', and besides, while he may not like hills much, 65-70mph on the motorway is more than happily acheivable to sit at.
I have described the vehicle to the very best of my ability, but he's a classic bus that is 29 years old with 200k under his belt, and as described isn't perfect! the body has bubbly bits, repaired bits, scabs in seems, painted bits, and general bumps n grinds (but nothing to fuss R Kelly) and is being sold as seen , so if you're unsure about absolutely anything, ask me! I'm a friendly kinda guy, and better still, jump in your car and head over (I'm near RUGELEY STAFFORDSHIRE) and while you have a good look around I'll chuck the kettle on, and although he's been great for the time I've owned him, and I'm going to miss him.
Treat him right, bit of tlc and he will love you.
Enjoy, thank you for reading but PLEASE DO NOT INSULT me. Its 29years old and as classic as Dot Cottons stained teeth, please expect non perfection. 07454 949104
I've had lots of interest and I'm sorry if I havnt txt you back or called you back I simply cannot keep up with who's called me, so try and try again.
All the best
