BiTDI 180 4Motion DSG

A true rarity! This has to be one of the highest specced and fully loaded Californias you are every likely to see. Calis like this hardly ever come up, so grab yourself something special!

The extras alone on this Cali are eye-watering – the original owner seemed to tick every possible box and even more has been added over time. Complete with solar panel that means you can remain off-grid indefinitely and with four-wheel drive (with the all-important diff lock) you can get out of just about any muddy field in the UK and abroad!

It’s with a heavy heart I am selling this amazing vehicle, but with two older teens who no longer want to camp out under the stars – it’s time to pass it on to someone who can properly enjoy this incredible specimen.

It comes with a full VW Service History, including recent CamBelt/Water Pump, DSG Service, Haldex, replacement Leisure battery, new Solar Panel last year and has an MOT until March 2026. It’s been well loved and cared for and is good to go for many years to come! Next Service due April 2027.

As I mentioned, this Cali has done us incredibly well over the past five years and never even had a hiccup. I would have no hesitation in jumping in it and driving to the south of France tomorrow. There are a few, minor scratches/scrapes here and there (as you’d expect from a well-loved and often used vehicle) – but nothing that affects the functionality and enjoyment of this incredible van.

The Cali is priced to sell and seems a lot cheaper than many similar vans I’ve seen recently. Based in Bristol.
