Detailed Information
Vehicle Description

1991 Volkswagen LT31 – 2.4, 6 cylinder

Imported in 2018 to the UK with roughly 9,000 miles from new. Came from a small village fire department in southern Germany and via car dealer Martin Oberschulte in Dortmund.

Full-service history including all original German registration documents and mot certificates. Just passed the MOT and valid until 08/01/2026

Electric power steering added early this year with classic car specialists Easysteer.

Completely solid chassis, no rot at all, was dry stored most of its life. Gutters are all clean and no rot, panels are all solid. Some small patches of surface rust appearing on some lower panels. They are all solid and has only appeared in the last few months. Needs some attention but it’s nothing major.

Other than that, it’s a mint condition van that’s been really well maintained and sounds great. We had this van for a bit over a year and a full van conversion was done only 4 months ago.

Conversion Description

Our van has been converted to be lived in/ travel full time. There are tons of storage and no expenses were spared to make sure it was all good quality and made to last. We lived less than 4 months full-time in it and sadly have to sell it.
