1981 Volkswagen Vanagon T25 Devon Camper review from UK and Ireland
"Cornwall here I come!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New starter motor fitted.
Leaking fuel tank.
Using the pop top in high wind broke the hinges.
General comments?
In Europe the Vanagon is called the Type 25.
This is my fun car it replaced a MK1 Golf GTI Cabrio.
One of the best parts about driving a VW Camper is that most other owners will wave as you pass them. It makes driving much more fun.
There are plenty of really good specialists in the UK for parts and service.
This car is so relaxing to drive I'm head over heals in love with it.
