*****SOLD Pending Payment*****

After several discussions, debates and trying different approaches, it seems our Van plans need to change (again) a little to accommodate our style of camping and a family.  So up for sale is our great condition, Low mileage, California Exclusive. A superb van and relatively rare in and around the UK.

We have owned the van around 9 months and even in that time it has taken us twice to the far South West Coast of France, South and West Wales, Scotland, Various Van shows and several weekend trips locally. 

For those that may be new to the Westy Exclusive, they were only ever made in LHD variants and you can find all the information and specifications on these excellent vans here:

Price is £18,750, van is located in Warwick.

I will get some inside pics up and some better externals when I get some more time and the weather permits.

SUMMARY

  • 4 Berth VW T4 California Exclusive - 2.5TDi Long Nose Model in Elegance Green (This is the updated model which ran from '96 to 2003)
  • 72,000 Miles 
  • Electric Windows & Electric Mirrors
  • Cruise Control
  • Heated Seats
  • Air Conditioning
  • Eberspacher Night Heater with Timing Capabilities
  • Separate Toilet Room with Electric Flush Thetford Toilet (This is a great addition to any van!)
  • Full Service History
  • 4 Owners Since New
  • Speedo Reads in MPH and Headlights are Changed to UK Spec
  • Sliding Window Model with Double Glazing in the Middle and Rear Windows
  • Full Original Curtain Set on all windows and including the pop in Cab Surround Curtain 
  • MOT Expires Feb 2015

ADDITIONS

The van is almost completely standard with a couple of useful additions.
  • 80W Solar Panel and Regulator Fitted to Charge Leisure Batteries
  • Laser Line Alarm Immobiliser integrated with the standard Central Locking
  • Colour Coded Fiamma Wind Out Awning
  • Adjustable Airbag Suspension in the Rear Springs
  • Retro Style Wind Deflectors to allow ventilation and open windows when raining
  • Shelving added by previous owner in Rear cupboard which can be very easily removed if desired
  • LED Light Strip in Fiamma Awning for External Light

EXTRAS
  • Fiamma Zip in Privacy Room to Connect to the Awning
  • Additional Centre Bar for the Fiamma Awning
  • Brandrup Sliding Door Mosquito Net
  • Full set of internal thermal screen to fit all Exclusive specific window sizes
  • 'Drop In' Basket for the Fridge

Work Since we bought
  • Wind Deflectors
  • Basic Service(New Oil and Filter, Fuel Filter, Cabin Filter, Air Filter)
  • Replaced Rear Washroom Tap (This is a common issue with these vans)
  • Replaced Thetford Toilet Cassette with New Item

Bad Points

With a van of this history & condition there is not much in the way of 'bad points' if I am being picky I would say:
  • Rear Reversing Camera - Present, but not working as the screen was removed prior to our purchase
  • Few Age Related Marks on the Bodywork, the worst being a small area on the rear fibreglass panel
  • Fresh Water Tank Level Sensor Does Not Work - Repair Part is 140 Eur and by all accounts difficult, so we easily managed to live without it !

Evening,

Would it be possible to pop over and have a look at it over the Christmas break? We're coventry based so any time is doable. Assuming you still have it.

Can you pm me your number or call me on

Daz has your no now so I've deleted it

Cheers

John
