[QUOTE 4725947, member: 9609"]If its GVW is 5 tonne as per @Richard A Thackeray suggests then I would guess you would need an operators licence and a tacho fitted, which thankfully means that no one in their right mid would go through all the hassle (trouble is anyone wanting one is not in their right mind)
(it may be classed as 'dual purpose' with having two rows of seats and that may relax some of the rules)[/QUOTE]
The weight is a guess, from seeing the one in 'Sin City Motors' that was involved in that 6x6 build in my YouTube link
It'll be a different pot of piranahs in the States, but as you say, if it was legal to drive one here, Constructions & Uses may have exemptions for dual-purpose useage??, ie; non-commercial
I used to have a Defender 110Td5 CSW, that was 12 seats, & I had to write a letter to my insurance company stating I would not use it for 'hire & reward'
I managed to confuse them for a while, with my argument that it wasn't a mini-bus, as it had sideways facing seats too, & it wasn't a 'crew-bus', as it had forward facing seats.........................
By the way, 'Sin City' is a cracking series, & appears to be back on Dave channel again (look out for the 'Apprentice')
