The Appeal
With the weather beginning to close in, surely now is a perfect time to head to warmer climes? And what better way in which to do it than this high specification, very spacious Ducato camper.
Built on a well regarded 2.5TD Ducato chassis, it is a ‘Chamois SE’ Autohome and, despite being a 1997 model, is in highly preserved condition. That is because it has covered a mere 38,000 miles from new with only a handful of keepers.
The interior is a feast of features that provide everything you need for a long trip - and the space in which to do it.
The durable 2.5TD Fiat engine was serviced recently and the cambelt changed at the same time. Further reassurance is provided by the MOT, which runs to June 2025 with no advisories. This is a well-kept example of a well-regarded camper in very good condition.
