Original twin slider pictures

Post by bumble bee »

Hi long time since I've had a t25 so I really ort to start again. We now have a 1990 twin slider but it's been around a bit so I'm after taking it back to mostly original. Does anyone know where I might get pictures of the original interior or any knowledge out there what they used to look like? I've tried searching on here and Google but no luck. Thanks in advance

It depends what spec the van was originally, there are levels of trim that started basic for the bus or lower level caravelle c or cl with basic panel trim and rubber floor mats and basic seats with vinyl covers going up to the caravelle gl model which had plush trim , captains seats with velour covers and fully carpeted with underlay.

You'll need a "birth certificate" from Hannover, but you may have a bit of a job decoding all the M-codes (options)
If your "white sticker" is still present on the front crash beam below the dash, that will list the basic ones and iirc vwt3.com has a fairly comprehensive list.
Considering how expensive any T3 was compared to uk-made vans, most were quite a low spec.
Caravelle C was the basic vinyl seats and rubber mats, CL got the "tweed" cloth, GL were velour and armrests.
Base model Transporters were also plastic/vinyl seats iirc and Bus was also a no-frills minibus.

Devon conversions also did a twin slider microbus which had bespoke interior panels.
