Comments from the seller
1987 VW T3 camper, pop-top.
Selling our beloved T3 camper. She's got everything you need for the road: shower, toilet, solar, stainless steel water tank, fridge and a fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of storage too. Fiamma awning, roof racks and tow bar.
In March 2025 a VW specialist in Nowra did the big work: reconditioned engine (same type as before), new steering rack end, new odometer, new ignition coil and a few other parts. About AUD 7,000 in total, receipts and lots of documentation available. No accident history.
One thing to know: the odometer is new, so the real km are unknown. The previous owners guessed around 240,000 km in early 2025. It's a 1987 van, so it has its quirks, but it's been looked after real well.
We’re driving her around Sydney, Canberra and Batemans Bay at the moment, so we can easily arrange a test drive. Just message us :)
