I was finally able to pick up a T4 worthy of what I want it to be, along with right age (03), right mileage (114,000), FSH, etc.
I have restored Beetles which then rotted due to cornish seaside living for a number of years and never quite got round to a camper due to all the usual necessary things in life like a reliable mode of transport to drive 65 miles a day to work, girlfriends, wifes, children, and mortgages
( i remember what the Beetles cost me!)
But now after 2 and a half years of planning I finally found the T4, a 2.5 Tdi (Blue i), 88bhp Diesel. Solid, well serviced, a slight layer of dirt after a few years as a builders van but it was only a site van and never undertook the daily strain as
much as it could have done over the last 5 years.
Good ply in the back, no bulkhead, no stereo (suprise, suprise),
no alloys, just a blank canvas. |
