Volkswagen Fixed It For Jim!

The latest celebrity to buy a Volkswagen campervan is none other than
the British entertainment legend Sir Jimmy Savile.  He bought his new
Volkswagen California van from the Volkswagen Van Centre
<http://www.vwvancentres.co.uk/>  (West Yorkshire) at Cleckheaton near
Leeds, who fixed it for Jim to take delivery of his new pride and joy
just before Christmas.

'I've had two other Volkswagen campers over the years, but this
California <http://www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/california/>  is the
all-singing, all-dancing dream vehicle for me,' said Sir Jimmy Savile.
'I'm a wanderer, and always have been, so I love motorhomes and
especially sleeping in them.  Sometimes I get home, check my post,
shower and still sleep in the campervan outside!' he continued. 

The Volkswagen California is the latest in a long line of campervans
based on the Volkswagen Transporter
<http://www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/transporter/> .  The latest model is
unique as it's now produced by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles
(www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk) to ensure the highest quality and is sold
with a full three-year warranty.

The beauty of the California van's versatile design is that it's a real
go-anywhere multi-activity vehicle.  It can just as easily be used for
daily transport to work or shopping trips, or as a living space for
hobbies, days out or touring holidays.  

The van quickly converts to a real home from home complete with an
electric pop-up roof, two double beds, fridge, cooker and sink, with an
outdoor table and chairs neatly tucked away in the side door and
tailgate.  Both front seats swivel to create a sociable indoor lounge
area with an adjustable free-standing table; plus there are fresh
onboard water and waste tanks and an AC converter to enable the brief
use of 230V electrical equipment, when it's not possible to connect to
an external 230V electrical hook-up.

Of all the vans for sale in the award-winning range, Sir Jimmy chose the
top-of-the-range California camper with a five-cylinder, 2.5-litre TDI
PD, 174 PS turbodiesel engine, complete with Volkswagen's 4MOTION
all-wheel drive system, and an optional bike rack on the tailgate.

Never one to sit still for long, Sir Jimmy has already taken his first
trip in the California campervan, heading off to the Lake District.

Full details of the Volkswagen California campervan are available from
www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/california or by calling 0800 717131.
