'Doris' - Cali SE 140

John Wheaton · Mar 31, 2015

We only planned on taking a test drive at SMG, Tonbridge but once we had we were smitten. The sales staff at SMG were extremely helpful and being Cali owners answered all our questions, put our minds at rest about everything and assured us the children would understand about spending their inheritance.
We plumped for an SE 140PS BMT, Sand Beige with a few extras. She's ex-demo and will become ours in a fortnight.
'Doris' is due to be handed over in a fortnight and we are already planning our first trip, which will no doubt come as a big surprise to our dog! Looking forward to meeting some of you on the road.

A nice choice John and Julie, A cali is not so much "wheel it out and drive it", more a "wheel it out and experiment with it lifetime occupation" vehicle.

It never stops, that is the joy. Every day is a new day of finding new ways to use and enjoy.

Welcome John, Julie and of course Doris. Your purchase story resonates strongly with our own. Quite difficult to say no once you agree to take that 'Test Drive'

Enjoy your Cali, and your forthcoming adventures!
