VW California Ocean 4motion For Hire

This is Buchanan, our top of the range 4 wheel drive California Ocean with DSG automatic gearbox. With the most powerful engine VW install in these campervans, Buchanan is ready to take your adventure onto rougher terrains as well as being available for intercontinental winter ski trips (but equally happy with a summer tootle down to Cornwall). This was our first van and holds a special place in our hearts.
