For the lovers of old crappy VWs!

I said goodbye last week to Russell the rust bus (T25 tintop) and welcomed Mo (as in Slow-Mo) to the family!

We loved the old bus but on longer trips missed the mod cons such as space to stand and a bog with privacy so you didn't have to share the experience with who ever was in the van! :eek:

Mo is a 1980 LT35 Glendale 2500GL coach built powered with an engine that makes the T25 look fast! :shock:

The good news is that this baby came fully MOT'd and LPG converted

After a few teething issues (LPG water pipe bursting, oil pouring out the flywheel seal, overfuling etc...) We seem to have a running van.

Today is our 1st propper trip out! Wish us luck!

Sounds like you'll need it.

I prefer hotels.

Shouldn't the awning be sealed to the door?

So, an awful caravan with a small part of a slightly retro VW at the front and an unreliable engine. Sounds great.

Wow... people still buy these things?

My T25 is fast....

...OK maybe not.

Looks good, enjoy

Nice to see an accurate thread title.

I've been considering an LT.

Ruddy cheap compared to a T25, but ugly as sin.

Although i'd rather have one in better condition

That would be a valid use imo, but as a "holiday" camper, no thanks.

It is heartening to see that as ever this forum is welcoming and friendly to those with slightly unusual tastes and that vehicles of all sorts are appreciated here.

oh wait

I think someone told him you can make a vehicle look better by parking it next to something with a slower 0-60 time.

What's it like inside?
