Vinnie – Great value & fun - easy to collect from West London

Vinnie (Wiggins…VW) is a Short Wheel Base T26(T5).
He has been our reliable and much loved family Camper Van for 10 years. He’s taken us on tour to the South of France, around the Outer Hebrides and many places in between.

He’s now available for you to enjoy some Vinnie Time!
