Hello and welcome to the sale of ‘Big Red’.
The photos speak for themselves it’s a lovely van, well maintained and looks stunning, write up below.
2003 VW LT – 2.5 litre TDI engine producing 95HP – 187k miles (barely run in haha)
Major recent works:
New rear brakes, including all cables and shoes, pads etc. Genuine new rear ABS sensors. – 186k
New windscreen – 187k
Inspection of drive belts, alternator belts and engine health check / fluid flush and replacement. – 186k
As can be seen on MOT history the van didn’t move very much in the last year due to issues with the rear brakes, this has now been fully rectified, and the brakes/handbrake are sharp as new. (all other advisories have also been taken care of)
Drive belts and clutch replaced by previous owner, no proof was given but clutch bites perfectly and the belts all look new. Full dealership service history up until 155k, previous owner was a mechanic and serviced himself. In my ownership has had all oils/filters including rear diff.
Converted by myself in 2022 as a means to have somewhere to live during my shifts in London. No expense spared when building the van. The van was completely stripped and insulated with a mix of 25 and 50mm Kingspan along with plastic fibre in the hard to insulate places. For reference the heater isn’t needed until the very end of September, it’s a warm living area.
The countertop and shelf are both solid oak and custom built for this van. The floor is 5mm thick oak on MDF and rubber for comfort and creaking reduction.
