Cambridge Motors are delighted to offer this exceptionally well cared-for 2013 Volkswagen California SE 2.0 BiTDI 180PS, a genuine factory-built VW California campervan and not an aftermarket Transporter conversion.
Powered by the sought-after 180PS 2.0 BiTDI diesel engine with 6-speed manual gearbox, this California has covered 122,000 miles and benefits from a comprehensive full service history, including the important recent replacement of the timing belt and water pump.
What makes this particular California stand out is its condition and the extraordinary amount of equipment supplied with it. The camper interior has clearly been looked after extremely carefully and it comes with virtually everything required for immediate UK or European touring.
EXCEPTIONALLY WELL-PRESERVED INTERIOR
Don't let the mileage tell the whole story.
The condition of the interior is particularly impressive for a 2013 campervan. The original California upholstery has been protected by a complete set of dark-grey waterproof seat covers from new, helping to preserve the seats exceptionally well. The covers themselves are also included with the vehicle.
The kitchen, cabinetry, flooring, dining table, fridge and camper equipment have similarly been very well maintained.
This is a California that deserves to be viewed in person.
GENUINE FACTORY VOLKSWAGEN CALIFORNIA SE
Unlike the many aftermarket VW Transporter camper conversions available, this is a genuine Volkswagen California SE, designed and built as an integrated campervan.
Its factory camper equipment includes:
Electro-hydraulically operated elevating pop-top roof
Upper double sleeping area
Rear bench converting into a second double bed: Rock 'n' Roll
Four-seat travelling configuration
Swivelling front captain's seats
Heated front seats
Climatronic automatic climate control
Separate rear passenger climate/airflow controls
Auxiliary/parking heater
Integrated two-burner gas hob
Integrated stainless-steel sink and tap
Glass kitchen covers/work surfaces
Integrated compressor fridge with basket
Fresh-water system
Kitchen cupboards
Wardrobe and extensive storage
Rear storage compartment
Internal dining table
Integrated privacy blinds
Privacy glass
Leisure/auxiliary battery system
Factory external electrical hook-up
Factory wind-out side awning
Bluetooth telephone connectivity
Alloy wheels
The leisure batteries are in good condition, making this a genuinely usable camper rather than one requiring immediate expenditure before its first trip.
VANGO KELA II AIRBEAM DRIVE-AWAY AWNING
A major addition to this California is the Vango AirAway Kela II Standard AirBeam drive-away awning.
This substantial inflatable awning provides a large additional living/storage area alongside the California and, because it is a genuine drive-away design, can be disconnected from the vehicle and left standing on the campsite while the California is driven away.
It features Vango's inflatable AirBeam technology, avoiding the inconvenience of conventional tent poles.
Also supplied are the:
Matching Vango Kela II / Idris fitted carpet
Vango inflation pump
An excellent addition for families or anyone planning longer touring holidays.
SECOND SET OF 5 VW ALLOY WHEELS & WINTER TYRES
Also included is an unusually useful complete second set of FIVE genuine Volkswagen alloy wheels, fitted with good winter tyres.
This gives the next owner a dedicated winter wheel and tyre set as well as the California's normal wheels, with the additional fifth wheel providing a full-size spare/extra.
Ideal for winter touring, skiing trips and European travel.
EXTENSIVE TOURING ACCESSORIES INCLUDED
This really is a ready-to-tour California package.
In addition to the vehicle's extensive factory equipment, the sale includes:
Vango Kela II AirBeam drive-away awning
Matching Vango Kela II / Idris fitted carpet
Vango inflation pump
5 additional genuine VW alloy wheels with good winter tyres
Chrome rear-mounted bicycle rack
Full set of dark-grey waterproof seat covers
Pair of levelling wedges
Two folding camping chairs
Electric campsite hook-up cables
Factory wind-out side awning
Protective mats
Additional camping equipment
The combined package represents a considerable saving compared with purchasing and equipping a California from scratch.
2.0 BiTDI 180PS – 6-SPEED MANUAL
The powerful 2.0-litre BiTDI 180PS diesel engine makes this California equally suited to everyday driving and long-distance touring.
The 6-speed manual gearbox is particularly attractive to buyers who prefer the simplicity and control of a manual California and avoids the DSG premium found on comparable vehicles.
FULL SERVICE HISTORY
The California has covered 122,000 miles and comes with a full service history.
Importantly, recent maintenance includes:
TIMING BELT REPLACED
WATER PUMP REPLACED
The extensive history, maintenance and remarkably well-preserved camper interior are important considerations when assessing the mileage of a vehicle of this age.
A COMPLETE VW CALIFORNIA READY FOR ITS NEXT ADVENTURE
Finding a genuine California is one thing. Finding one supplied with this amount of useful equipment is considerably more difficult.
With its electro-hydraulic roof, four-berth sleeping accommodation, full kitchen, fridge, auxiliary heating, Climatronic, excellent leisure batteries, factory awning, Vango drive-away awning, five additional winter wheels, bicycle rack and extensive camping equipment, there should be very little for its next owner to purchase before setting off.
Ideal for:
UK and European touring
Family camping holidays
Weekend breaks
Festivals
Cycling holidays
Winter and skiing trips
Day trips
Everyday use combined with campervan ownership
The great attraction of the Volkswagen California is its ability to provide genuine motorhome-style accommodation while remaining compact and practical enough to use as a normal vehicle.
