Mad old man buys van!

Whilst searching for information about vw van hire I came across an article with an intriguing  photo beside it. The photo showed a white haired old man in a jumper made from a bunch of old flags. At first I thought that the man I recognised was Doc Brown from Back To The Future, but the vehicle beside him was no Delorian, it was a Volkswagen California.

Then it dawned on me, the gentleman in question was that crazy old cigar smoking fiend Jimmy Savile. It turns out that VW fixed it for Jimmy to drive the one of the comfy camper vans on his trips to the Lake District.

‘I’ve had two other Volkswagen campers over the years, I had a used caddy but this California is the all-singing, all-dancing dream vehicle for me. I’m a wanderer, and always have been, so I love motorhomes and especially sleeping in them. Sometimes I get home, check my post, shower and still sleep in the campervan outside!
