1990 VW T25 T3 2.1 DJ Syncro GL Westfalia Interior For Sale

1990 VW T25 T3 2. 1 DJ Syncro GL Pop Top with Genuine Westfalia interior

14" Syncro with 16" wheels & original 2. 1cc DJ engine

Originally used by the Swedish air force until decommissioned and brought over to the UK in August 2006 & sold by FBI Volkswagen Services in Swansea to the previous owner in April 2007, after which I purchased it in December 2013.

Initially it was used by the previous owner in its original 2 tone blue and seven seat state for a couple of years before being fitted with a genuine Westfalia interior and elevating roof from O’Connors Campers. It was then subsequently re-sprayed (poorly) by the previous owner in the lighter of the original 2 tone colour of Capri blue around 2009.

When I originally purchased this Syncro I regularly drove it once a week or so for my 50 mile round trip commute to work all year round with the occasional 400+ mile round trips a couple of times a year. My circumstances, not unsurprisingly have changed over the years and this is the vehicle I use the least so I cannot justify keeping it. I have kept it in very good mechanical condition with parts & garage receipts to prove. The bodywork would benefit from some work as it isn’t perfect by any means, however it is in a perfectly usable state.

MOT with no advisories until July 2020.
Approximately 245, 000 kilometers.
Correctly registered as a Motor Caravan on V5.

Fitted with the original 2. 1cc DJ petrol injection and runs without fault with gearbox VC & rear diff lock in full working order. It has recently been serviced & MOT’d in June 2019 by a VW classic specialist.

Summary of work since owned:

Exhaust 1-3 manifold & knuckle joint replaced with stainless steel items (system is now all stainless with the exception of 2-4 manifold) (June 2018).
Coolant system flushed & refilled with VW G13 at same time as above exhaust work done because the intermediate pipe water pump to thermostat housing was replaced as a cautionary measure due to corrosion (June 2018).
Oil pressure switch at rear of engine replaced whilst exhaust was off to cure a minor oil leak (June 2018).
Power steering system drained, flushed & refilled with correct vw spec power steering fluid (June 2018). There is no issue with the power steering, this was changed because I had no record of it ever being done.
Gearbox oil drained, differential and pinion head inspected with borescope showing no damage to pinion head or crown wheel. Minimal metal fluff build up on magnetic pick up & gearbox refilled with GL4 spec oil (June 2018). Again no issue with gearbox, however I had no record of it ever being done.
Front & rear brakes cleaned & serviced (June 2018).
New starter battery with 5yr warranty (July 2017).
Full service (oil, oil & air filters, spark plugs, distributor rotor arm & cap, both v belts (Sept 2015).
Front wheel bearings replaced (Sept 2015).
Fuel hoses replaced (Sept 2015).
Coolant system was flushed & refilled with VW G13 (Sept 2015). Replaced due to no record of being done previously.
Handbrake cables replaced (Sept 2015).
Water pump replaced (due to failure whilst on holiday), oil change & fan belt (Oct 2014)
Oil & filter service (June 2014).
Front suspension Powerflex poly bush kit installed (June 2014). Purchased via a ‘Club 80-90’ Forum group buy offer.
Rear gear change bush, joint & cup replaced (June 2014).
Fan blower motor replaced (Jan 2014).


The following has been fitted (from new, previous owner or myself):

Longer studs to front and back hubs to cater for 20mm spacers.

Very rare buddy seat behind front passenger seat which folds and unclips in seconds
2 swivel tables (not Westfalia).

Bosch driving lights.
Steel light grills over front & rear indicators/ lights
Sliding side windows.
