    many thanks to everyone who have given input on this the issue may have resolved itself i think it may have been sold verbally so then if it did become available the best thing is change tax to plg a lifting inspection certification should not be needed as its a factory built truck so will have an info plate somewhere licence class 1 ?? for under 7.5 tone i have normal trailer allowance due to my age despite my stunning youthful looks
  25. c101 comando
    so the taxation class is the main problem ? does anyone know for sure if it was taxed plg would it lose its mot free status it would still be purpose built recovery vehicle but basically there is nothing wrong with owning and using it
