Description 25,000 miles on Vege reconditioned engine; loads of bills; original Viking interior; driven to the sale; tax and MOT exempt; lots of potential; recent welding and new sill panels; needs painting and general TLC; budget camper with potential Although not pretty to look at, there is plenty good about this old Viking.

The interior remains commendably original bar the later (more comfy) front seats and although the paintwork is a bit multi-colour, there has been plenty spent over the years on servicing and maintenance.

Acquired by the vendor in 2009, it was enjoyed for a few years before ill health saw the van put away during Covid times.

It has been resting since, starting quickly and driving some 30 miles to the sale.

The engine was replaced with a Vege unit in 2002, the van having covered some 25,000 miles since according to the multiple MOTs on file.

A two-litre air-cooled classic, it has been starting quickly and running around onsite as one would expect.
