Ideal for use as a minibus in real life, the versatile VW T25 makes its latest Oxford entrance as such in another signature VW colour scheme of orange and ivory. It comes as registered OKV 465W from 1980. The model incorporates wide front and rear windows and three windows down each side, including a quarterlight on the driver's and front passenger sides, just like the real thing. The themed colour scheme sees the interior finished in beige. Further detailing includes black louvred vents behind the side rear passenger window and black bumpers.
In its day, the VW T25 Bus was a great vehicle for ferrying a wide range of small groups from parties of school-children, workers, right down to evening revelers and its use extended right into the early 1990s.
