Get ready to fall in love with the freedom and flexibility of our 2023 VW California Beach, affectionately named "Martin". With a distinctive MARTINi Racing stripe , expect a few extra waves from fellow travellers! Martin is a California Beach factory-built camper van by Volkswagen – not a conversion – so everything is thoughtfully designed and expertly engineered.
Comfort & Drive
Martin seats five passengers and includes a full-width lower bed (1.5m wide) for restful nights, plus a double bed in the elevating roof. Thanks to his automatic transmission, Martin is a breeze to drive, and the built-in adaptive cruise control makes long journeys even more relaxing.
You’ll enjoy features such as:
• Apple CarPlay / App Connect
• DAB radio, Bluetooth audio & hands-free calling
• Rear-view camera & parking sensors
• Air conditioning in the front and rear cabins
• Heated front seats for chilly mornings
• Swivelling front seats to create a sociable living space
• Privacy glass in the rear
• Self-parking capability – yes, he can park himself!
Martin comes with a VW Bike rack that can take up to 4 bikes ( total weight 60kG). The rack can be removed if you don't need it.
With under 12,000miles Martin feels almost new
Cooking & Camping
Martin includes a fold-out gas hob built into the van, perfect for quick meals. For longer trips, we can provide a separate camping stove for outdoor cooking. Inside, enjoy full LED dimmable lighting for the perfect evening atmosphere.
