The VW Transporter 4Motion may have to deal with some treacherous road conditions or uneven surfaces while you use it. With the British weather throwing up heavy rain, snow and ice, it is not always straightforward to get around when you need to. Construction sites can also prove to be awkward. But, with the VW Transporter 4MOTION, you get a sure-footed van.
Traction can be maintained while you’re off-road and it provides a safer drive in bad weather. The VW Transporter 4MOTION works together with the Anti-lock Braking system, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Electronic Stabilisation Programme to ensure any slip or bump is under control. In other words, its ideal to get to places that other vehicles cannot.
Benefits of 4MOTION include:
Can take corners faster
Provide more grip
Additional traction in mud and snow
Perfect for camping and caravanning
Available in Panel van or Kombi form, depending on what you want out of your van. For optimum cargo space, choose the Panel van which can hold up to 9.3m3 in load capacity. If you need room to carry people, opt for the Kombi which can seat up to 6 passengers. If you need more capability take a look at the VW Amarok

All our vans are available as panel vans as well as Kombivans. Prices are actually very similar to Kombi Vans. There can be many reasons for wanting a panel van oppose to a Kombi van but we have just as many in stock.
Panel Van
SWB, LWB and DSG panel vans always in stock.
High roof to factory order.
Signwriting, racking, towbars, electronics, plylining we offer a complete dealer service
Cheap contract hire work vans from £199 a month with enough deposit and low enough miles however we cant do mods like splitters and spoilers etc
SWB load length is roughly 2.5 M and LWB roughly 2.9 metres. A bulkhead is standard on most of the. Payloads 700 KG to 1300 KG in panel van
VW Transporter Models Startline The VW Transporter Startline is the entry model but even so the standard stereo features App Connect to integrate with busy modern life. Like all panel vans there are three front seats as standard but it can get a little cramped on long journeys. Cruise control is a standard feature as are power electric mirrors which are heated for frosty mornings. VW do not reduce safety equipment on even base model vans. Its against their principles. A full steel bulkhead is standard and you will be pleased to hear that the headlights are much improved on the last model. The steering has also changed on the T6.1, its much lighter thanks to newerr servotronic steering. Its easily recognised by its black ABS bumpers. There is an upgrade named the “Business Pack” see below
Crosswind assist standard
Front assist with emergency city breaking
Tyre pressure monitor system
Highline The main reason people buy a Highline is toget colour coded bumpers and airconditioning. VW Have done away with the Trendline model
Currently there is no T6.1 Sportline but we have a choice of no less than 4 front splitters. We can help by customising your new 110, 150 or 199 PS Diesel Engine. The latter comes in DSG only of course. This way you can have either a Kombi or a panel van too.
At Swiss none of our vans are ready made. Instead you get some choice as to what your van will look like. Nothing sets off a van more than having a front splitter. All of these front splitters are sold ready fitted. You can mix and match

VW Transporter Genuine ABT. In stock end of March 2020. Limited numbers. Typical cost £30 a month fitted so its a little on the expensive side. Stock fluctuates on ABT quite a lot. PP Plastic. Great quality. Poor availability order early. We are teh cheapest on the Vw Transporter T6.1 ABT in the UK by far.
VW Transporter WASP2 out now. Its more similar to the ABT splitter and features a unique design that lends itself to painting two tone.

The material. There is standard Robust Leather, Nappa Leather, Mock Suede The robust is the most popular as it resists stains and scratching more. Its like your sofa at home. But you cant beat the feel and smell of Nappa
The stich pattern. Cross, Bently, Oval, list is endless. Ask your account manager for a link to build your leather.

Van Finance
7 Ways Of Van Finance
Most of our competitors tend to be leasing franchises that all sell the same “specials” that tend to be basic vans purchased at the same time by the hundred. Often the vans you are offered have sat around a while. They tend to prefer contract hire as it locks you into them for some time. We work via banks rather than by these franchises so we are not as tied in so can offer more of an array of van finance deals. This is why our vans are fresher and deals better. There is no leasing franchise taking a cut. All methods are tax deductible. All methods you should really have GAP Insurance Policy in case the vehicle is written off. Many commercial insurance policies will not pay new for old.
Hire purchase – VAT down or VAT deferred . HP is a great way to actually buy a van. If your VAT registered claim the whole VAT amount back within three months. Sometimes a pre registered van is cheaper. Click Here.
Contract Hire – This is more popular on cars than vans. Many customers think there is no credit check but there is. Its better for large fleets and doesn’t offer any advantage for less than fleets of 10. If you want to change over 10 vehicles in one go and they are basic then please get in touch. Click here for contract hire.
Lease purchase. Not always the best deal as some manufacturers offer discounts that cannot be used on lease purchase. Its just like HP but with a final payment and once it’s paid you get automatic ownership. It’s better once again for VAT registered businesses especially if you want a T6.1 for example to keep at the end and convert to a motorhome. Sometimes a pre registered van is cheaper. Click here
Finance Lease – By far the most popular method as it attracts the lowest payments . It’s gets the largest discounts from manufacturers same as contract hire. However you can fit accessories many of which you cant n contract hire
Operational Lease – Is just like finance lease however you can hand back the vehicle at the end. Some of our Mercedes vans are like this
Asset Finance – We can finance many products not just vans
Credit Limit – Pre approve your van purchases 90 days in advance. Useful for example if you have a contract tender.
GAP Insurance
If you write a vehicle off in say year one the insurance company may well pay you less than the settlement value. Thus through no fault of your own you may need to buy a older cheaper van to reach the same monthly payment. Click Here to buy a GAP Policy
