Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1989 Volkswagen Caravelle campervan, nicknamed 'Phylis', has undergone significant mechanical and interior refurbishment, including brake overhaul, new fuel/brake lines, and reupholstered rear seats. It's equipped with a fridge, solar panel, and onboard water system, making it ready for new adventures, though the front seats show some wear.
Condition
7
The interior is described as 'very good' with a newly reupholstered rear seat. However, the front seats are 'a bit worn' despite having new covers. The mechanical work done (brakes overhauled, fuel lines changed, radiator replaced, welding done, tie rods replaced) suggests some issues were addressed, moving it beyond 'Excellent' but still within 'Very Good' given the overall positive description of the campervan's readiness for adventure.
