aww this was my van before it was Ollie and Sophies ! we called her Betsy and had her 10 years and did a full resto - including changing the colour to Hello Yellow ! and the seats were recovered by Bromsgrove autotrimmers with the front seat fabric specially purchased from America So glad you are looking after her 😃 We did some great trips in her to Germany ,France and the rest of Europe - and the pies sticker is because I am a Wigan girl and support Wigan Warriors rugby

I’ve got a green T25 called Veronica from 1982 which like Betty needs some loving. A good lot more loving. But. Every time I get in and start that engine (which has been changed to a VR6) it’s just instant smiles. If you’ve not owned a classic I’d highly recommend it just for the attention and interaction from people around and when you buy the right one you do just get excited (When it’s working) this video has boosted my appreciation for my van and how beautiful these campers are. Keep up the great work guys. Enjoy Alex

VW T3 are lovely. But change the rubber fuel lines immediately. They get very brittle and leak fuel onto the hot exhaust and burn the car up. There is also a plastic firewall fuel adapter which often breaks and it is recommended to change it to a metal one, like yesterday.

This one is close to home and brought back some fond memories! Me and the Mrs bought ourselves a lovely t3 as a 3rd vehicle 5 years ago for day trips and holidays. It will always hold a special place in my heart and I wish I could have kept it forever, but they require bottomless pits of money and time to keep on top of them. 4 weeks of welding in every bit of my spare time, plus paying my bodyshop to do some structural welding & paint was the final decision maker for me. Sold it whilst it was at its peak of condition and value. They are unbelievably endearing, Enjoy!

Hey Alex so happy you’ve seen the light and joined the T25 gang. I bought one 13 years ago (divorce+red wine+ebay=T25!) and still have it. Done loads of mods, including cutting the roof off to fit a pop top. But… I warn you… it’s an addiction! Always got a van related project on the go (with varying degrees of success) and have acquired 2 more vans (a T1 and a T2) along the way! Bet you never sell the yellow peril and happy to advise if you have plans!

I currently own all three of these sort of, i have a gt6, not a spitfire but basically the same. That mini has been reshelled using a later car at some point. The body number will be stamped on the drip rail at the front of the scuttle where the bonnet sits if it's a later shell. If it is the original, it'll be stamped at the top of the boot apeture. Bit of a bodge but you can buy oversized outer sills which are designed to be welded over the the top of what you have. They would get you on the road again and take care of a lot of the rust. The spitfire has had a lot of suspect work as you have noted, I can see it's missing the drip rails along the a pillars next to the windscreen but will probably be fine. The VW bus. The rust along the sliding door rail is concerning, as is the rust around the guttering. The doorstep rust and behind the rear wheels is pretty normal. What kills these and is dangerous is rust hidden above the rear jacking points inside the sill and also rust at the front edge of the rear trailing arms where they bolt to the rear jacking point. Also people tend to add aftermarket plastic fuel filters between the mechanical fuel pump and the carb which are a cause of a lot of fires on these. If it has one please throw it in the bin and fit one nearer the fuel tank instead. 3k doesn't get you much anymore. Looking forward to the inevitable chaos that follows 👍😂

Cant lie. Im getting more n more upset that all these cars that have been purchased have no endured the Taylor test 😂😂 The taylor test is the ultimate test of car build and quality. But mainly it’s hilarious 🤣 and when something actually happens it makes it all much funnier 😂😂

PD conversion! With Alex’s love of a PD diesel it’s got to be a PD conversion and a thoroughly documented rebuild for a more in depth coverage of this mighty vehicle I’ll buy any Betty merch that drops 💰good luck 🍀

Would love to see Rory spending the night in the Triumph lol. I dailied an MG Midget for my first two years of driving (including going to Mattwood) and had to spend a night in it once. I now daily a 1976 Triumph Toledo, but I've still got the Midget for putting a smile on my face at weekends

I totally LOVE Betty, here's an idea. Resto-mod. Shiny up the engine, do your stainless exhaust, wheels, bodywork etc - keep the paint style kinda classic. Then hit up the interior. All the modern creature comforts BUT it's all in a retro 80's woodgrain style :D

Coming from someone who bought a 1965 rover 2200 for 3k I 100% agree with Taylor that the joy you get from these cars is incomparable

Ive had a 1972 beetle, mk2 golf, air cooled t25 day van, Hijet, and mk3 fiesta. Classic cars always just make you smile. The stupider the better lol. I loved my t25 the most and miss it loads. Same reason as Ollie in the end, got too expensive to keep at that point in my life. I wish I could get it back! 😊

Hey I absolutely agree what Alex just said about camping in their classic vehicles Taylor with a roof tent on his classic car and Rory sleeping in his classic car but Alex is going too be more comfortable warm and dry with classic camper van.

I used to drive a watercooled pick up for a builders company I worked for back in the eighties, that thing was a blast, and it handled pretty well, allowing a bit of controllable oversteer when required. You'll have fun with this I don't doubt

I considered myself a car guy from when I was a child always drawing or playing with cars. When growing up I studied car mechanics and worked as one for 5 years. The first car I bought was a suzuki samurai wich I lifted and did all the stupid things with it one would want to do. When it needed alot of welding I restored the whole thing and bought a jimny as a daily but it soon also got the big wheels treatment. after it was on it's second engine I swapped it in for a new van because I wanted to travel and in the last 10 years I've converted 4 smaller and bigger vans to campers and I never found a better way to enjoy a vehicle. It's the ultimate freedom and truly is my happy place, wherever I park it, unless it's somewhere dodgy but I can always just go somewhere else. Currently I'm converting a renault master from 2011 with over 160 000 miles after a drunk driver crashed into my citroen dispatch/jumpy. It's a real budget build as I didn't plan for this and I spend all my savings on traveling. Congrats on buying betty and I hope you and your growing family can have as much joy with it as I've known to have had.
