FOR SALE: Vilma Our Beloved 1985 VW T25 Adventure Machine!
Meet Vilma, our 40-year-old legend, a VW T25 that has taken us on unforgettable journeys across the UK, Outer Hebrides, Germany, France, and Belgium. She’s been our home on wheels, our off-grid haven, and a true adventure companion. From remote wild camping spots to buzzing music festivals across the UK and Germany, Vilma has done it all!
She’s mechanically sound, well-loved, and kitted out for full off-grid adventures—we’ve never once had to rely on electric hook-ups! Every upgrade has been carefully chosen and installed by the specialist team at Slaughter House Customs UK in Sussex, who know her inside out. We’ve spent over £8, 300 (excluding fitting) on premium upgrades.
This month she had her final MOT and passed with flying colours! Her MOT is valid until 13/ 03/ 2026.
Now that she’s turning 40 years old, she will soon be MOT, ULEZ and tax-exempt under classic vehicle status. She’s solid, ready, and raring to go.
