With a heavy heart I am now offering my beloved T5 Camper for sale. It has been my pride and joy for more than 10 years and enabled many adventures and great trips. However due to the new Low Emission Zone created in Edinburgh I have to let it go.
It is possibly one of the quickest and most fun to drive van you will find due to the professionally increased engine power.

The Van:
*2006, T30, TDI, SWB,188k miles, MOT April 25 - in great working order!
* Rare 4MOTION with Rear-Differential Lock
* Twin slider Kombi in desirable Off-Road Grey metallic
* Air-conditioning
* Electric-windows
* Electric adjustable and heated mirrors
* Rear-camera (auto-switches to reversing mode) and front dashcam built into touch-screen rear-mirror
* Cruise Control
* Bodywork in very good condition with a few cosmetic imperfections
* Tailgate
* Original VW 4x bike rack
* Fiamma Wind-Out awning with rain-guard
* Towing hook
* 6-Speed manual gearbox
* 2.5l TDI professionally tuned (by Pendle Performance - best reputation in the business!) to 220BHp
Part of the tune: Forge Intercooler, cast-iron exhaust manifold, custom exhaust (full stainless steel - never any worry to rust!), EGR disable, performance air filter. I have driven the van with this performance enhancement for 8+ years and it worked flawlessly!
* No Diesel Particulars Filter (Pre-DPF version) - never any worry about expensive repair/replacement
* Registered March 2006 - just in time before the cut-off, so far lower road taxes than other 2.5l diesel vans
* Recently extensively serviced: new clutch with new dual mass flywheel, new turbo, all wheel-bearings, breaks, new springs, poly-bushes. It even just got a Haldex oil service including filter.
* Original VW alloy wheels (newly refurbished to as new condition) with 80% threads on all season tires
The van has enjoyed continuous dedicated TLC with regular servicing and needless to say that everything works exactly as it is supposed to.
The Camping Gear:
* 120cm wide RIB Altair seat/bed (still the best!)
* 2x original VW swivel captain seats with arm rests
* Skyline Aurora pop-top with Scenic canvas - low profile with hidden lock (small repair patch - see video)
* Carpeted sliding hatch (hiding the canvas when roof is closed)
* Bi-fold bed
* Leisure battery with Y-charger
* Webasto diesel-heater with thermostat and programmable controller
* Dometic CRX50 compressor fridge 50l with removable freezer compartment
* Smev 922 2 burner gas hob + sink
* Evo-Design kitchen and cupboard unit with tambour doors and soft-closing drawers (see video)
* Over-bed locker
* 2x dimmable LED light strips (over kitchen and bed - see video)
* Easy to remove and fill 18l fresh-water tank
* Lots of storage throughout (see video walkthrough)
The campervan is in excellent condition and ready to take you on your own adventures. At the same time it is a great vehicle for a daily driver or even as a sole vehicle (it was for me).
Viewing and test drives are more than welcome - I'm sure you will love how much fun it is to drive this smooth and quick van and how all the camping
Looking for £18,500,- Open to sensible offers.
Cheers
Ralf
