Don't like it.
Are you still keeping it as a promo vehicle?

looking nice fella, i had forgot about this van

good choice of colour , ive just had a read back through the posts and no your not being anal about stuff but looking at the picks which is what i do , i see the fridge panal and the front panal and wondered if you also had detail picks of these and other areas where we all know they rust prior to paint,

I have loads of pics.. i wasn't familiar with where the common points of rust on the t25 when i first purchased or would have took them specific parts only i took the camper as a whole and went over every part not just what would have been problematic areas.. i have many more pics i believe the ones above are the areas in question these pics are from when she first when in.. and he was picking at everything for me.. as u can see all the black areas are shinny metal no holes etc just solid genuine motor

i have a video of me going round the whole van but its quite large to up load? hope this helps guys!

i have also been informed now that she has only done a genuine 20,000 miles... i have history checked as far back as just over a decade ago and she has traveled less than 8k in this period leaving a very lethargic 12,000 in the first 10 years! im the 4th owner the guy previous to me had it for a short lived period.. 2 owner from new for 95% of her life.. this would explain the lack of rust etc on the front panel and Sharpe drive ability that i was very surprised with...

It all depends how and where it was stored while it wasn't doing all that driving. Sometimes, a bit of dry driving can be better than being stored outside under a tree, or in a poorly-ventilated garage. It certainly looks like you got lucky, from this distance (and from the outside).
