T25 Devon 1983 - Advice?

Post by **CAT220** » 31 Jan 2007, 17:37

Hello All,

First post! I'm looking at buying a T25 Devon, i'm new to the whole camper van scene so not sure on the exact spec is whether its water or air cooled. I'm going to view it this weekend, ive had a brief look at it and bodywork and interior looks good, not had a chance to have a look underneath. I dont think the roof is currently working, thats all I really know so far. How much should I roughly be looking at paying?

Any pointers in what to watch out for?

Cheers,
C

Hello CAT220

welcome to the forum
I'm sure the devon owners will be giving you lots of tips

the Aircooled vans have only one grill on the front.

Hi Matt,

No pics yet will be the weekend before I get to see the van again. Its yellow lower half and white upper with a black band seperating the two. Bike rack on the rear. Its looks in very good condition.

i have one, 83 body work so-so interior tidy(they do wear well) pop-top good nick 230,000 miles and still does 75-80 miles an hour. this could be dangerous, but go WATER_COOLED more power i paid £750, but it was a good bargain! pics to come when i work out how.

Christ chipster . . .£750 was cheap, I also have an 83 devon pop-top, paid the princly sum of £1250 for mine last september, and i thought i stole it for that price

. mines got 120,000 up and new VAG rebuild less than 20k ago.

only mod ive done is dropped it 60mm. LUVVIN' IT !!

Id say you did steal it at that price Gary! looks brilliant. Does the pop top operate ok?

Black mask and stripey jumper mate? That looks superb, no matter what price you paid for it

Is the interior as clean as the exterior? Very nice `van there

roof is in excellent condition, and the interior's even better than the out. here's a pic, "just to rub it in"

Large profit when you sell that m8

That is one of the cleanest `vans I`ve seen, very nice to see such a well-looked after bus.

When I was looking last year, some of the utter sh+te out there has to be seen to be believed, at between £5000 and £10,000 as well
