- MOT to November 2025 with no structural advisories
- Great example of these very usable VeeDub campers
The Appeal
For those seeking the character of a classic VW camper, but with a more practical, usable vibe, there is the excellent T3. This bigger, boxier successor to the Splittie and T2 is strong on space and versatility and, with a wider range of petrol and diesel engines, much more drivable too.
This 78PS (78bhp) 2.0l Petrol 1989 T3 is arguably the one you want for long trips. It is smartly presented and well specified, featuring a high top roof - so you can stand while you’re using it - and an array of beds and fittings to make it virtually self sufficient for any family trip.
It is in good, usable condition with a lengthy MOT that shows no structural or mechanical advisories. In fact, perfectly ready for summer.
