If you have read this far, I am hoping you know what you are looking for. If not, please be aware this van is over 50 years old, it is not a T4, T5, T6 or even a T25. It’s slow and quite loud in the cab, there’s no power steering or AC, but it is a joy to cruise in and gets relentless affectionate attention where ever it goes.

If you want to be the custodian of a timeless classic, and have the dedication it takes, please get in touch. This van deserves to be driven and used!
