[For Sale: Car] Need help in selling a 1981 T25 imported from Arizona

I have a yellow T25 I need to sell, but need some good clean honest recommendations on what I should be asking for her.

I brought her over from Arizona three years ago and rebuilt the engine. Comes with a second engine, good for parts. Plus lots of bits as any hands on owner here will have handy.

It has a bit of front end damage where i hit a deer in the US driving it to the container :( but otherwise fairly straight.

She comes from the driest part of the US, and is thus almost rust free. The only rust that has shown came up here, of course. She's getting spot rust blemishes in through what is the original paint.

She's a Westfalia through and through, with new canvas in the pop top from when I got her.

The engine needs tweaking, but is newly rebuilt with less than 300 miles. I'd recommend a TDI conversion myself, as this is a 2.0L and she's thirsty. The interior is decent, but is worth spending some time on improving for sure.

Here are some pics:

I'd like to get £3500... but am open to suggestions, realities, ideas...

thanks!

it's got to be worth that at least... cool looking example, little ding on front wouldn't put me off. best roof and interior too, I have one but if I was on lookout I'd be round straight away

The best thing you could do for that van to get it sold quicker would be to VRT and DOE it.
Most potential buyers don't want to have to go through this themselves
