Beloved by generations of surf-dudes and independent travellers, the iconic VW Transporter was launched way back in 1950 and remains in production to this day, as classless and ageless as ever.

This Masalla Red T25 four berth camper was delivered new in 1990 as a German home market model in LHD and is powered by the 2.1 litre ‘Wasserboxer’ engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox. These T25 models are the most civilised and easy to drive of the rear engine classic campers. Reasonable fuel economy and plenty of power makes them the default choice for world travellers and camper fanatics alike.

The Westfalia California conversion on this one means that you have four berths, a double ‘rock n roll’ bed plus an upstairs double. A multi fuel fridge keeps your beers cool, while a two burner hob and grill take care of the cooking duties. Other comforts include: two swivelling Captain’s chairs with armrests up front; electric front windows; a DAB radio; a multi positional table; a removable buddy seat; a stainless steel sink that pumps water from an onboard water tank; a ‘pop top’ roof; an Eberspacher plumbed in heating system; and huge amounts of wardrobe space to make the T25 the ultimate holiday home on wheels.

Thoughtful Westfalia details such as the plug in driver’s map reading light are included, as well as a complete set of fine mesh curtains which are stowed away in the rear locker. For night time use, the original curtains are still hanging and draw smoothly. It even has a tow bar if you need extra carrying capacity.

Imported to the UK in 2006, it has had just one owner since. It has covered just under 219,000km (136,000 miles) and comes with a good service history including many VW stamps in the book during its time in Germany and regular specialist maintenance since arriving here. Recently fitted with a new carburettor, it is MOTd until January 2016 and is on the button and ready for its next adventures.

You are advised to view several camper vans before coming to inspect this one, just so you can appreciate the variations in quality. If you are already familiar with these vehicles you will be taking in the nice details and original features of this one and you will be appreciating that it has been cherished by enthusiasts who can afford to care for it. It has never had a surf bum or alternative lifestyle traveller within its pristine accommodation!
