This seems to be latest craze. Especially with VW T25 models (1980-1990). Buying a 'GOOD' UK can sometimes be quite difficult to find as there are now numerous 'so called' dealers buying them,pinting them and selling them on for £££.
I have found that if your interested in buying a VW Camper especially the T25 version, buying one from europe will not only save you £ but you a lot more likely to get a much better van for your money. Or if you dont fancy importing one yourself (which is a lot less hassle than it seems) Buy a van that has recently imported and NOT messed with.
If you want to buy a van in europe yourself either try the relative ebay site i.e. ebay.de for germany or much better start searching google for VW Transporters for sale in Munich ETC ETC you'll be amazed at how many there are. Flights are now so cheap with companies like ryanair and easyjet it will probably only cost around £50 mark to get there. You will find most europeans will be happy to meet your at the airport.
Then have a leisurely drive back. Obviously thats a very simplistic look at it but it is very easily done. There are now 3+ businesses set up specifically doing this so if you dont fancy driving seek ones of these out and buy a readily imported one.
Have you recently imported a van from europe??? post your comments
