I may know of a 19.L T3 factory camper for sale in the Ryde (Sydney) area
My fathers neighbour told me he was selling his when i saw him last weekend
Dont know if it has gone yet

vw54, Yes it is the rear engine t3's that i am looking for.
Bizarre, don't know how much the factory campers sell for, i'm looking for and empty one beacuse of the price as i am a poor uni student.. But i you find out if he's still sellling it or how much that would be great.
Cheers,
Jake

Hey Jake123, make sure when you find one to get it checked out by a good VW mechanic. I didnt, and was very sorry after what I was told after the first service. The engine was on its last legs even thought it went well when I bought it. The engine blew 2 weeks later. Got quoted for a reco engine for around the $5000 mark. Not good considering the car cost $5000 and was told the engine only had 30,000km on it. Keep checking ebay, I have seen since buying mine many great T3's for around the $5000 mark, even some that have had Subaru conversion done. I ended up doing a suby conversion in mine and highly recommend it if you can find one done already. Just get to be patient......
