Welcome! I have been driving a T25 Holdsworth Vision now for three years and we have been very happy together! not the most glam/ heavy as a brick and hates hills. Still we have had some great times together and Im sure you will be happy with yours. Margaret

Dear Ian Hope you have a great time; I was really nervous the first time I took my van over as well; Just returned yesterday from a great trip down from Calais to Les Jablines; actually its 180 miles from calais but very uncomplicated driving on the flat (good for t 25s I find!) . A1/ N3/ A104; The ...

That was a nasty reply! Its always causing me concern that I might come on a low bridge and then have to execute some hideous three point turn past some point of no return! but honestly I think it doesnt happen very often ; my holdsworth vision is 2.4 m approx and there arent that many bridges that ...

It was ! accompanied by my two favourite things my son and my van ( that order ofcourse) Away seven weeks in total / drove 4000 miles ( how thats toned my upper arms with no power steering) and used just over 400pounds worth of diesel although it was quite cheap in places.
