The seller offers for sale this Vixen 21TD from 1986, a camper equipped with a 2.4 litre 6-cylinder diesel engine and 5-speed manual gearbox. This example has undergone an earlier thorough restoration, including a revised engine, with invoices available. Since restoration, it has been stored indoors except for occasional use. The diesel engine starts well and runs smoothly, with no unusual noises or smoke reported, and the gearbox shifts as intended. The body was repainted several years ago and presents in good condition with light signs of use. The interior is described as complete and well maintained, with renewed upholstery and all facilities functioning. This Vixen is offered with a USA title and has not yet been registered in Europe.
The Vixen 21TD is considered one of the most innovative and efficient campers of its era. Designed with aerodynamics and fuel efficiency in mind, it gained recognition for combining performance with practicality, often achieving favourable fuel consumption figures. The 21TD variant is powered by the reliable BMW M21 2.4 turbo diesel engine, which earned the model the nickname “BMW camper.” With only 587 Vixens built in total and around 300 in the desirable 21TD specification, surviving examples are rare. Its low overall height when closed, combined with a clever pop-up roof for standing space, makes it both practical and distinctive. Today, the Vixen 21TD is appreciated by enthusiasts for its rarity, engineering concept and unique presence on the road.
