Poplar Motors - We are a long established company, founded in 1966. We import Toyota Hiace vans from Japan and convert them into camper vans. We are a small business with low overheads, no fancy showroom or high-pressure sales people; therefore we can sell you quality, reliable campervans at lower prices than our competitors.
All campers are prepared to a very high standard and we have a fully equipped workshop and carry out all our own repairs.
Why do we use Japanese Toyota's as the base vehicle? Japan has snow and ice but instead of salt, chemicals are used on the roads! Salt is the main cause of rust on UK vehicles - The condition of Japanese imports is unbelievable, 10 year old cars look brand new underneath. Plus they are high spec with power steering, automatic transmission, twin air bags, have air conditioning, with electric windows, central locking . The Toyota's are a superb vehicle being responsive, quiet, comfortable and reliable.
Japan is relatively small and highly populated, cars there tend to do fewer miles than in the UK plus, in general, the Japanese look after their cars far more meticulously. Also in Japan, they have a 'Shaken test', similar to our MOT test, but stricter; therefore it is costly to keep older cars on the road.
