Hello,

Would anyone be interested in swapping/exchanging their T2 for a T25? I'm in no hurry I just want to see what options are out there. I bought this fella last August and been loving him ever since, but my heart is still aching for a T2.

Mine:
1991 T25 Caravelle
Gold
105000 miles
2.1 petrol automatic - new engine 13000 miles ago ( 2.5 years)
gearbox overhaul at same time as new engine
Back seats removed and converted to camper - 3/4 r'n'r bed, fridge, grill, gas hob, leisure battery, cupboard storage, table, cup holders, side pockets etc
Gold carpet, brown dash
captains seats (passenger on swivel)
Genuine 17" Porsche boxster alloys
Square grill and head lights with bad boy spoiler
Cool white fibreglass bumpers - you could colour code if you like
2 sunroofs
Sliding door replaced 2 years ago and colour matched well
Very, very little rust, gutters are like a new vehicle. some minor seam rash above nearside rear wheel and window rubber, and rear window rubber
His paint work could do with a tidy with the usual minor bumps and scratches throughout but nothing major that can't be sorted (defintitiely no welding, cutting needed anywhere he is VERY, VERY solid!). I had to repray the front panel after removing a small dent but the colour match is poor

I have tons of paper work, old V5s (im the 3rd owner), receipts, MOTs etc.
He is a genuine rust free daily runner that starts every time
He has a very interesting history - but i'll tell you about that if you're interested
i paid 5k but it's insured for 6.5k. I'd like to make the 5k back in a swap or exchange!

What i'd like:
T2 Bay
Obviously a good runner
Little or no rust or mechanical issues - i'm a novice but can cope with cosmetic work etc

If you're interested or know anyone who might be please PM me and i'll send you some pictures and more detail
