Simon Small takes delivery of 'The Chill Mobile'

Volkswagen Van Centre Chelmsford's Sales Executive, Paul Higham, had the pleasure of handing over the keys to a fanastic 'personalised' Volkswagen California SE 180PS 4Motion model last week to our customer Simon Small.

The exterior graphics were inspired by the 'BERGHAUS' limited edition model. The vehicle looked superb and Simon was 'chuffed to bits' with his vehicle!!

Simon will be using the vehicle, christened 'The Chill Mobile' most weekends when he participates in a wide variety of endurance events, many of which are illustrated within the exterior graphics, through out the highlands and lowlands of the UK.

You can follow his exploits on his personal blog: http://doingsomethingcrazy.blogspot.com
