I popped over to the local VW van centre at lunch, had a walk around their various different versions of the T6. They're surprisingly small, even the LWB ones - or they are when your bike is 6'6" long anyway. I think I'd end up taking the entire length of the load area on an SWB van, and putting the bike in behind the second row of seats in for e.g. a Kombi or Shuttle would need a) the LWB version and b) to take the front wheel out.
I had a chat with a place that customises Transporters (turns them into campers) and a slide out deck in the back for bikes would be ~£500 on top of the purchase price. That way you could run it out under the tailgate, lift the bike straight off and put the front wheel in, slide it back in and off you go.
