The Appeal
The T25 represents the evolution of Volkswagen 's iconic Type 2 van lineage, offering more space and comfort than its predecessors while maintaining the charm and versatility that made these vehicles so beloved in the first place. These too were a popular basis for camper conversions, and this one from 1981 underwent a period transformation by venerable UK-based specialist, Devon.
The T25 has been thoughtfully maintained with several key mechanical upgrades that enhance reliability and performance, including a single-carb conversion and the fitment of a stainless steel exhaust system.
Having been in the current ownership since January 2021, this van (affectionately nicknamed "Hector") has been used sparingly for just a handful of adventures, spending most of its time safely stored on the vendor's driveway. Now it's time for someone new to sample the delights of this versatile, well-sorted T25 Devon campervan.
