after many yrs missing our t25 1970 devon; we finally might have enough for a T6.1

before we upgrade our membership to post in wanted (which we will; not trying to sneakily save a few quid when we are spending 0000s!

Would really appreciate thoughts on what to set out in the wanted ad? we have 3 months or so to find it.

We want a VW: T6.1 2.0 TDI 150 in LWB, aircon . DSG if possible - i have two frozen shoulders & some arthritis. in an ideal world we'd like a caravelle, but not ncessarily a deal braker.

For our own use we will want 5 seats 4 berth pop top with full width rib seats and do NOT want an internal side kitchen, eventually will have a rear pull out kitchen and decent lesiure battery, diesel heater but those can wait.

We have a total budget in mind which is tight. but have spoken to a few converters and know it is possible. Obviously it depends on whether we need to change the seats, lining, or pop-up.

We are not going full on as you are, no judgement. But having driven lots of vans going 150bhp is one thing I wholeheartedly recommend. And when we were looking there seemed to be more LWB available, usually in a nicer highline spec than SWB. Not much advice but hope it helps.

it does thank you Macp. Obvsin the general wanted ads its easier to find SWBs. but with 2 kids & wanting to use year round, the 30cm will save our sanity a bit.
