Urgent advice needed, just about to buy a T25

Hi all, I am a Late Bay window owner and a T25 has just come on the market for £1500 which appears to be very good, but of course things could be different when I actually go to view. I am about to look at it in 2 hours time and the main thing I want to know is about the camper converison type. I know all about Bay conversions (devon, westy etc) but not much about T25.

Could someone take a look at these photos and tell me if it's a homebrew, or if someone recognises the interior as an official conversion. If anyone else spots anything in the pics that looks odd, let me know. It has 12 months MOT, 1983 and I believe it has the 1.9 petrol engine. I am told the engine is absolutely spot on, and there is no body rott. It has been handpainted a while ago which could cover some bad stuff, but I am familiar with the Rustoleum roller technique so no problem as long as the body is good.

I am told that a shabby t25 goes for around the £2000 - £2500 mark which seems a bit steep to me so this particular vehicle does seem like a bargain if all is in order.

Thanks for any help you can give. Also, I could do with a list of chassis + engine numbers if someone has a link.

Also, which is the more desirable of engines for the T25? Thanks

imo.the 2.1 is the best petrol engine.that van looks well worth the asking price.not sure about what conversion it is though.

similar interior style to the Autohomes but maybe someone will recognise the pop top which has the single latching side panels with windows.
