Vehicle Highlights
There are a bewildering number of Land Rover Defender Models
The Land Rover Defender is a bit of a niche product and supply is fantastically hard to obtain. We tend to work with dealers to offer a small number of high spec models each year. Either for sale or on 3- 12 month rental. Also we sell them 12 months old. The majority we sell already have our own upgrades on them such as the WASP or
90 110 or 130?
The first choice is the wheelbase. Rather than name them SWB MWB and LWB they are attributed 90 110 and 130. All have a sold roof despite the rather confusing name “Hard Top” which simply means its a commercial version with 2 or 3 front seats.
The Hard Top is only available as a 90 or 110 so this choice is made for you already. and for many the 90 only having tw doors is juts too inconvenient.
In an ideal world most commercial customers would choose a 2 door 130
Hardtop or Car ?
This is your first decision. The New Land Rover Defender mimic each other in terms of spec whether its the hard top or the car version. There is no soft top ! We don’t transverse the Libyan Deserts in Defenders any more !
The Land Rover Hardtop once was a car that was sent away and had the rear seats removed. In fact its been backward engineered as most car derived vans have been at some stage. This is to stop you claiming back the VAT on cars
I needed a commercial vehicle for private use as I'm not self employed and therefore paying the VAT upfront is quite a chunk of money to loose so needed it to be wrapped up in the monthly repayment. I'd already tried several other companies before Swiss Vans and non of them were interested. I'd pretty much given up and was looking at 2nd Hand vans until I came across Swiss Vans advert on Facebook. I sent a message (with very low expectation) and the next day I was contacted by Tom Jones (yes, a Welshman called Tom Jones who sells vans...!!!). Tom is the first person that actually took the time to listen to what I needed and how I needed it work. He went away and came back a couple of hours later and explained that initially this wasn't going to be easy to achieve but to leave it with him and that he'd call me the next day. To be honest, I didn't think I'd hear from him again but true to his word he called me the next day and said that he had it all worked out, all agreed and all in place ready to go. Tom fired over the paperwork, I paid the small holding deposit and a few weeks later the vans been delivered and completely exceeded my expectations.
I'm a great believer that 'People buy People', yes Swiss Vans are truly excellent and I'd go as far as to say that in my experience, they're better than the rest but like all other companies they're only as good as the people they have working for them. Tom - I can't thank you enough, you're a credit to Swiss Vans, and Swiss Vans - you're outstanding.
