The Allports website isn't the prettiest site that Webwatch has ever encountered, but it's easy enough to find the stocklist from the homepage. Just click on the massive red button in the centre of the page. In fact, there's nowhere else to go.
Next, select one of the nine categories that are presented to you, from 'Vans to 'Stock to clear'. To return to this category page at any time, click on the 'Vehicle Finder' link at the top of the vertical navigation bar.
Product search
Once you have picked a category, the site will display a table of information on all the suitable vehicles in stock including make, model, year, GVW and body type. Unfortunately, it doesn't give any photos of the stock at this stage, not even thumbnails but if something does catch your interest, click on the corresponding 'detail' link to find out more and to view a large picture.
The information provided at this point in the process is more comprehensive, and includes mileage, registration number, spec and condition.

Elsewhere on the site you will find a map and directions to Allports' four-acre used truck centre at Fradley Park, Lichfield (click on 'How to find us') as well as more information on the company's services ('Sales'. 'Finance' and 'Aftersales).
Allports and Deker Trailers have another sister company, CV Rental, which offers hire purchase, lease, contract hire and rental options on HGVs and light CVs. Its website is laid out along the same lines as its siblings': visit www.cvrental.co.uk.
Conclusion
Don't be put off by this website's appearance: it's easy to use and especially worth a visit if you are looking for a used Renault.
