Just got myself a £600 t25 1900 Diesel Reimo!

Post by marcusvictoria »

After giving up owning a camper again and looking at passat estates a good mate texted me about a T25 that his friend was selling. The next day I bought it.
Its a D reg left hand drive Reimo 2 birth.
no tax or mot (booked mot for this friday)
White 54ooo miles showing on the clock.
I have no history.
1900 Diesel.
Its in quite good condition considering I only paid £600 credit crunch pounds.
I am chuffed to bits to be owning a T25 again and hope to meet some of you.

It needs a good clean inside and out and has a couple of interior bits missing
It has High back front seats.

This summer I have 8 weeks off payed and hope to drive around Devon and cornwall so any recommendations for campsites are very welcome.

Best sort the mot first but on a good look over I cant see any rust ?

I have 2 small children which are very excited as you can imagine.

Marcus.

It could have been worse though the exhaust may set you back a bit depending what needs doing. :|
