OVERVIEW
This Ellesmere Port-based dealer has a simple website, but that makes it easy to navigate your way around From the homepage, click on the 'Stocklist' link to view the available used vehicles. To narrow down the list select a make and/or model, or type in a keyword of your choice. The results can be displayed by price or alphabetically by manufacturer.
Click on any vehicle that takes your fancy to see further details and contact information, as well as a larger image. Multiple photos from different angles are available for many of the vehicles, allowing you to check Out the cab as well as the exterior. As is common for dealer websites, prices are on application. At the time of writing, all the major marques were represented in the Vantruck stocklist, with the LGVs far outnumbering the light CVs. A number of trailers were also available,
COMMENTS
Apart from the stocklist, the Vantruck website contains only a contact form, an e-mail link and a zoomable Google map allowing visitors to find the Ellesmere Port site easily. Vantruck also lists its vehicles on the Trucktrader website, and includes a link to its handy 'glossary of terms' (just in case you've been confusing your LPG with your LWB).
Despite its simplicity, www.vantruck.co.uk has a few nice touches, such as the ability to view the stocklist without photos to reduce loading times — useful for those of you still using a dial-up internet connection.
CONCLUSION
It may be lacking in bells and whistles, but the Vantruck website has a good selection of trucks... and vans. Really, what more do you want?
