Dotty needs a new home! 1989 T25 Autosleeper High Top

Meet Dotty. She’s a 1989 VW Transporter with an Autosleeper High Top Conversion. She would be a perfect project (and quick to get back on the road).

1.9 DG Petrol Engine
Not quite tax exempt but not far off!
No MOT so would need to be towed.
She’s been my adventuring partner for 14 years but it’s time to let someone else look after her. I don’t have the time to fix her up and I’d rather someone had fun with this perfect project. She’s got things that need fixing but, if you can weld, can be made roadworthy for use this summer season.

The Good:
• Engine runs beautifully
• New skylight fitted
• Mostly original interior (although will need some TLC)
• Underside has been rebuilt
• 15’’ wheels
• Recently changed fuel pump and filters
• Water & waste tanks – pump works but pipes need connecting
• Leisure battery, gas cylinder
• Cooker works perfectly
• Fridge – never been used
• 2 beds – 1 upstairs, 1 downstairs
• Plenty of storage space
• Lots of receipts for work done

The Bad:
• ‘Buzzer of Doom’ sounds constantly – electrical fault
• Slight coolant leak – suspected to be a perishing hose
• Bodywork needs attention – windows, seams – cosmetic only (& 2 pieces needed for MOT – see list)
• No MOT – failures below
o Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adversely affected (5.3.6 (a) (ii))
o Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength (5.3.6 (a) (i))
o Nearside Rear Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded and likely to fail (1.1.12 (f) (ii))

o Nearside Front Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded and likely to fail (1.1.12 (f) (ii))

She’s a lovely van to drive and go camping in. I’ll be sad to let her go but she deserves to be back on the road!
