The Appeal

This well-presented 2013 deep black pearl (LC9X) facelift T30 version of the SWB in Highline trim is powered by the revised high-efficiency 140bhp TDI common rail diesel engine. Kitted with 5 seats, a Fiamma canopy awning and tent, it has excellent documentation of service history and a recent bill for £4,000 which covered a new crankshaft sensor, belt/tensioner and front disc/pads. It also boasts a mileage of just 66,866, two keys and an MOT to November 2023.
