Detailed Information
Vehicle Description

Up for sale is our lovely Bertha, a four berth 1987 T25 campervan with an auto-sleeper conversion. I bought her back in August 2017. We have had many adventures in her across the UK but our house sale is forcing the sale of our campervan. She is a member of our family so we are keen for her to go to a good home!! She is the sought after Autosleeper Trident conversion with a really good quality interior and lots of space.

When I bought her in 2017, the garage had serviced the engine and given the body work a part restoration. They put brand new wheels arches all round, new lower side panel, front steps and structural welding followed by a full respray. Since I have owned her I have had welding done on the sills, rear suspension arm mounting plates and front chassis corner. We have also had new parts fitted including fuel lines, fuel pump, clutch, breather pipe, vacuum pipes and some ball joints and drive shaft gaitors.

So the key points:
1.9 DG watercooled petrol
Manual Transmission
Right Hand Drive
MOT until 20 January 2022
4 berth (pull out sleeping platform in roof)
Sink with electric pump tap and on board water tank
Autosleeper Trident conversion
passenger seat swivels 360 degrees
240v hook up
3 way fridge (untested)
Propex heater (untested but control panel lights up)
Gas hob with twin burners and grill
Lower half restoration in 2017 (new panels and full respray with 5 top coats after double primer)
New laminate floor
New curtains with thermal lining
New cushion foam and upholstery (very comfy bed!)
New bluetooth stereo and speakers
Leisure battery and split charge relay

We have put in new laminate flooring and painted the units to brighten up the interior. We have also bought new foam for the bed and had this upholstered so it is now super comfy. There are newly made curtains included in the sale too which have a thermal lining. Also included is a thermal wraparound windscreen and door cover for the cab for camping.

Inside you have the original fitted units from Autosleeper who always made stuff to high standards. There is a fridge which should work but we have always just used it as a coolbox with ice blocks. The other thing untested is the heater which lights up and appears to be in working order but we have never used it. There is a on board water tank and pump on the tap. The van has lots of storage cupboards plus you can fit lots above the cab area and on the upper rear bed.

Since we have owned her we have invested a fair bit in improving her and getting her running well. We have receipts for £1000’s of pounds worth of work and parts including welding, new fuel pump, new clutch, new fuel sender, new distributor cap and spark plugs, and new fuel lines.

She is a beautiful van which I will be sad to sell. She is in great condition for her age. She has some light surface rust, the worst is shown on the photo of the window close up but its not a big job. There are also only 3 hubcaps after I lost one on the motorway! These vans hold their value really well and are increasing in value like many classic vws and campervans.

I will add more photos and I am happy to answer any questions. I would prefer bidders to view the van, the van is in Loughborough just of the M1, junction 23. The van is advertised elsewhere so the listing may end early.

Conversion Description

Professional conversion by Autosleeper. Registered as a motor caravan on V5 Log Book.

Beds Description

There is a double bed made from the seat and also a bed in the high top roof, an upholstered panel slides out to create this. The space is small and we have never slept there so maybe suitable for children only or small adults.
