New owner, long-time lurker

[Crell]

Hello all,
I've been on here stalking and learning for quite a while but we picked up our new Beach last Friday and loving it so far. I'll miss the Caravelle but our spec is basically a Caravelle with a poptop.

That's right apparently. The van was registered a couple of months ago so an earlier order and it's been in the showroom / short demos & had 150 miles on it.

I've always liked the colour but it wasn't the main priority. DSG, 5 seats (or7), heater and comfort dash were... and the dealer seemed to tick most of the other options as well. I was going to order new but this was available and I couldn't be bothered with the wait... not even for the 2 tone grey paint

Looks great...don't blame you for not waiting for a factory order....it's driving me nuts!

Comfort dash looks really good.
