how do I find out what sort of van I have

Post by colinthecaterpiler »

Hi - Just got my first van and looking on the web cant find one similar - am I right to assume its a home made job or does anyone recognise its type

It's a 1983 water cooled 1.9 petrol engine right hand drive one

It has 2 sun roofs one over the front seats that looks old and a newer on in the rear and a small square pop top in the middle of the van that gives you head room in the kitchen

It has a sink and 3 ring cooker and lots of cupboards with rounded corners - a 3/4 rock and roll bed and a upholstered box that used to have a chemical toilet in it

Interior cupboards look very similar to Westfalia ones.

Didn't Reimo do those little midget pop up roofs too? Y'know, the really little ones that give you a bit more headroom

Thanks for the info - I just thought I was buying a T25 to see if I liked having a camper because I can't afford a bay and wasn't sure I would get enough use out of it ......in the last month we have done a trip to Cornwall and a weekend in Norfolk and I am addicted - and of course I want to find out all about it and now wouldn't swap it for a bay.
