Volkswagen T25 Devon Moonraker Poptop
*OPEN TO OFFERS*
Very sad to be selling my 1979 T25 Devon Moonraker Campervan, but it’s time for it to move on to a new home!
Engine: CUSTOM 1600 CC air cooled. Engine custom built, twin carb, based on 1.6 CT engine, by Beetlelink, Farnham, Surrey. Full receipts and list of component parts.
Fuel type: Unleaded petrol (works on E10)
Number of gears: 4
Engine condition: Very good, pretty much brand new and packs more of a punch with the twin carbs, also improved MPG.
Bodywork: Good but patchy. Spot rusting around the outside, underside sealed and in very good condition. One of the rear driver side panels needs spraying.
Historic status. Tax and MOT Exempt. Last MOT expired in Jan 21, however it has not done many miles since and has been in to the garage a few times to fix small things with no other advisories popping up.
Purchased vehicle 06/2017. Since then it has toured northern europe and been all around the UK on shorter trips. Rough timeline:
2017: Purchased
2018: Engine refurbished
2019: Interior redesign
2020: Finished interior refurbishment
Completely rebuilt interior by myself over several years. Includes gas hobs, electric coolbox, leisure battery system and more.
I have all paperwork and details from the engine rebuild and a timeline of the interior plus all the receipts, complete with pictures, should you want to see them.
Also have some original docs like the service history dating back to production.
(Note bedding and personal items not included in sale, however it will include the cushions and everything you’d expect to get you on the road, plus a bike rack)
Also open to swaps, looking for a Jeep!
