After now over 5 years of ownership, time has come for me to move on from my 1994 South African T3 Caravelle.

As many here may know, this bus was previously owned by my brother Charlie ('Transporsche' of this parish!)

Basic details are as follows-

RHD - so perfect for the UK!!

January 1994 registered, with import to UK in 1999.
2.5i AAY engine, 5 cylinder, 10 valve.
Good overall bodywork, finished in non metallic red, with no structural rust. Original 8 seater trim, in grey velour. approximate total mileage is circa less than 150,000 miles.

Rear bench seat doubles up as rock and roll bed, middle seat can be fitted facing either forwards or backwards, similar to Multivan configuration. Vehicle also has removable table and full matching curtains.

Other notable feature is full overhead air conditioning.

good points

Full service history and bills for last 5 years, including replacement fuel tank, fuel lines, alternator, all front suspension bushes replaced, cam belt, water pump, fuel pump and relay, secondary cooling pump, brake drums, Brake discs, brake pads, brake rubber hoses, coil, ignition amplifier, new uk speedo with miles (not km), brand new Hella headlights (original square headlights and grill available) and rearlights. New windscreen.

Full stainless steel exhaust system to replicate original, with lifetime warrantee.

Five professionally refurbished 14" Carat alloys, with premium brand 205/70 hr14 XL 98 rated tyres, all with 6mm tread plus.

Central locking and all electrics workings

Professionally fitted Saab front seats with electric heating and new upholstery to match remainder of trim. (Original captains seats also available)

Less good points

Few minor rust scabs (tailgate, and front valance)
Power steering system removed and replaced with brand new genuine non pas rack (original pas rack still available)
Electric mirrors and front electric windows replaced with more reliable manual ones
Slight misfiring when very hot
Non original front door trim panels (original ones available)
Air conditioning needs re-gas

No significant rust at structural points, mot passes with no advisories for last seven years.

Open to offers around £5k.

Based in Bristol, U.K.
