Hello to all
We have just become proud owners of a b reg T25 panel 1.9 petrol
We reallly dont wont to chop through that beautifull german steel so was hoping that someone out there can help us with a query.. :oops:

is it a early or late van. :?:

we are aiming to put a sliding door on with a window but cannot find any details on exact age of van 84/85 ? have also just snapped the sliding door handle so needs are great now. :lol:

You can get the production date from the VIN number, there's a few decoders on t'internt.
My guess would be that a B plate is an "early" type, Pre '85 rings a bell with door parts. Sorry can't be more help

Much more useful answer from Monsho :wink:

Cheers for that little link, Monsho - I now know my van was made in a factory in Hanover in August 1983!
Cool :ok

It's an early. The crossover bodywise is mid '86 (july I think).
