VW Transporter T7 Conversions

The SUV was the sensible buy.
When did sensible become the point?

The VH-PMV. A VW Transporter T7 hand-built in Dorset for business owners and families who want a vehicle that does the lot. Every VH-PMV is finished to a standard most converters will not attempt.

The Compromise

Your van passed the test drive.
Then life turned up with luggage.

Mass-produced conversions fix the space and butcher the finish. The polished luxury players sell you a template with a badge on it. Both ask you to trade comfort for capacity, and the whole point of a VH-PMV is refusing that trade. Each build starts blank and ends signed off against your spec.

The Van Haven Promise

Choose Once.
Choose Properly.

You know the difference between built properly and built to a price. So do we. Here is the proof.

On Record

DVSA registered converter. Official and documented, because that is what building properly looks like.

Warranty Intact

Your manufacturer warranty survives the conversion. Engineered that way from the first panel. Ask how and we will show you the work.

Finance That Fits

Personal or business, structured around your budget rather than ours. We will lay out the options and tell you which we would avoid.

Delivered Nationwide

Your VH-PMV arrives anywhere in the UK, fully prepared. Nothing halfway, nothing left for the drive home.

Handed Over By The Builder

You leave knowing the switches, systems, and settings that were walked through by the person who built the thing.

A Door That Stays Open

Aftersales carries on past handover. Questions are answered by our workshop, and servicing is sorted by people who know your build intimately.

Photos, Not Renders

Each image on this page is a genuine VH-PMV shot on the workshop floor. Stock photography never makes the cut.

Proof You Can Check

78+ five-star reviews from owners. Unedited and independently verified. Read them and judge for yourself.

What Time Does

Cheap Conversions Keep Their Secrets
For About Eighteen Months.

Then the trim lifts. The panels squeak. The finish that looked fine in the showroom feels thin under your hand, and the rattle is there for good.

A VH-PMV lasts because we work to a standard and let the price follow. VW owners feel the difference before anyone has to explain it.

Built to a Price

Off-the-shelf panels. Standard fittings. Materials that look fine until you touch them. This is building to a price, not to last.

Built to Standard

Van Haven uses the highest-grade materials, hand-finished by specialists with 40+ years of combined experience.

Built to be Felt

The standard shows on its own. Passengers clock it before you say anything.

Exterior

Sharp From the Kerb.
Sharper Up Close.

Panels aligned by hand, gaps checked by eye, signed off before it leaves the workshop. It looks right from the kerb because it is right up close.

  • Bodywork that Belongs

    Front splitters, side skirts, rear diffusers, all integrated at the build stage. Nothing to work loose, nothing that appears as an afterthought.

  • Rides Smooth. Stopped on a Sixpence.

    Air ride settles the stance and softens the miles. Our big brake kits slow down a fully loaded van without drama.

  • Colour, Protected Twice

    Choose a standout colour and keep it that way. Colour PPF guards the finish for years, so you pay for the look once, not twice.

  • Lighting With Intent

    Seen properly at dusk, lit properly inside. DRLs and rear clusters outside, ambient zones in the cabin, all wired once, right.

Halfway There

The Outside Gets the Looks. The Inside Changes Your Plans.

Interior

Step Inside and Recalibrate.

Hand-stitched hides. Quiet you can hear the moment the door shuts. Heat that outlasts a January night, all finished by hand.

01
Hide & Stitch

Your choice of leather and Alcantara, colour-matched and hand-stitched. The stitching takes the longest. It should because these are the details that matter.

02
Swivel Captain Seats*

ISOFIX compatible, heated and fully adjustable captain seats. Grandkids in on Saturday, bikes and kit loaded for the coast on Sunday. Two jobs without a trade-off.

03
Warm Cabin, High-Quality Sounds

Premium Diesel heater for winter overnights, so the cabin is warm without the engine running. Audio that earns its space, moving or parked.

04
Light You Control

Set each zone independently, from the passenger seat. The light in a room changes how you feel in it. The cabin is no different.

05
Insulation & Sound Deadening

62mm of insulation in three hand-fitted layers. Dodomat kills vibration, Thermo Liner and Fleece keep temperatures consistent.

The Workshop Floor

Nobody Rushes a VH-PMV. 120 Hours of Build Time Says So.

Fifteen pairs of specialist hands and decades of learning to do this right. Carbon fibre aero, mirror caps, headlight integration. These are the details that decide whether a build still looks this good five years in, or only on collection day.

Our team refuses to repeat itself, so no two builds are the same and each one raises the bar. That is what 120 hours buys.

The Numbers

Makes Sense, However You Run It

A Working Asset

Structured right, a VH-PMV sits inside your business as a dual-use vehicle. Your accountant can confirm the details.

Capital Allowances

Year one. Vehicle and conversion, both eligible for Annual Investment Allowance. Your accountant does the maths and finds the maths agreeable. Most do.

Seven Days, One Vehicle

The client site on Tuesday. The airport run on Thursday. The coast, the trailhead or the grandkids' sports day at the weekend.

Worth Keeping, Worth Selling

VH-PMV builds are known and sought after, so values stay strong. Ask any owner who has tried to sell theirs.

Before You Ask

The Questions Everyone Asks. Answered Without the Waffle.

A Van Haven T7 conversion takes 8 to 12 weeks depending on specification. Complex builds with custom cabinetry or specialist equipment take longer. You get a clear timeline before the build starts and updates throughout.

Pricing follows specification. Most VH-PMV conversions start from the mid-range and scale with the options you choose. Download the brochure for the pricing overview, or book a consultation for a quote against your spec.

Yes. Bring your own T7 to the Dorset workshop, or we source one for you at competitive rates through our dealer network. Either way, the conversion is built around you.

Many owners run their VH-PMV through a VAT-registered business as a dual-use vehicle. Eligibility depends on your circumstances, so speak with your accountant first. We will walk you through how it typically works.

It doesn't. Every Van Haven conversion is engineered to preserve the base vehicle's manufacturer warranty, and our own comprehensive warranty covers workmanship, electrics and fitted systems on top.

Yes, and we encourage it. Seeing the materials, the builds in progress and the standard up close tells you more than any website. Book through the consultation form and we will set a time.

Yes, through specialist providers who understand one-off conversions. We arrange hire purchase and lease purchase, with personal contract purchase available where it fits better. We will find the right structure during your consultation.

Honestly, it isn't. If you want the cheapest lined van on the market, we are the wrong workshop and we will say so on the first call. If you want a vehicle built around your life to a standard that holds its value over the next five to ten years, contact our team today.
