Volkswagen T25 1915cc 4 Speed 4 Berth 1984 - This lovely classic VW camper benefits from a lot of hard work being recently carried out by the current owner. Now, unfortunately for him but not for someone else, with a loss of storage space it has to go so he will not get to use it himself!The exterior is very presentable in the white with colour coded exterior trim, giving it a nice fresh look especially with the 16” Alloy wheels he has fitted.Interior wise he has fitted the floor with a non-slip covering, the cooking side of things is now taken care of by a twin ring gas hob with an electrically pumper cold water supply to the sink (or Kettle ) The whole interior has been treated to a custom refit and now looks very nice.Mechanics are all described as very good, with the 1915cc engine actually allowing you to get somewhere at the legal limit, unlike the earlier VW Campers. The 4 speed gearbox gives a good blend of low down pulling power but sensible revs when cruising.Current MOT is through to August so plenty of time left to enjoy before the next test. Currently the Van is showing 99029 miles, not a lot of history to speak of but the MOT History shows that in June 2005 it had covered 94549 miles so a mere 4500 miles in the last 12 years!Offered at a realistic reserve, this could make a Camper Van enthusiast or A V- Dub person, very happy.

Attorney George Saunders was among the crew of four, his job being to attend to the stubborn inboard engine, and he kept a number of relics from the vessel. Included in this lot are seven items tied to the brave vessel's service: the Polly's British ensign, 35" x 18", inscribed along the hoist: "Dunkirk May-June 1940 'Polly'"; the Polly's masthead oil lamp, 11 3/4" tall with fresnel lens, the fuel well painted: "P" (Port), "S" (Starboard), and "P[OL]LY"; the vessel's 1940 compass: "Lionel Corporation 1940 N.Y.
