Volkswagen T4 camper 1.9D 187k 9 month MOT 1992

This is Matilda, a VW T4 camper conversion from 1992 with 186819 miles on the clock at the time of listing. She’s a 1.9D, meaning she is slow and steady. I’ve part restored and owned her since 2021, and now she needs a new home.

I’ll be as honest as I can here so please do accept that the asking price considers all of these things. Young for her age, I’ve done approximately 20k miles over the last 4 years to various spots north and south for climbing, cycling and fishing.

What comes with a van of this age

– The exhaust could use some extra stabilisation (an exhaust mount has been lost). It’s fine, but there is a bit of extra noise when idling.
– There is a faulty connection to the radio unit coming somewhere from the ignition. As a result the radio sometimes does, and sometimes does not power up. Nothing an auto electrician couldn’t fix.
– She previously had a crap central locking and alarm system installed, which failed in embarrassing circumstances, meaning only the back and driver done can be unlocked / locked with the key. The rest need to be opened from the inside.
