Hi Gareth
nice to hear that another CMP is making it back onto the road. A FORD as well to boot!
Can you answer a Question please?
Where the DVLA just making sure that you were not driving a class of truck that your licence did not cover.
I guess that you were taxing HISTORICAL class to get MOT test exempt, Road fund licence exempt. IE nil cost to you
Main weights to be aware of in UK. Refers to Goods vehicles in general but all the same handy if you get asked.
7500 KGS GVW trucks can be driven on a car licence [some exceptions/restrictions for when car licence was issued] dvla or vosa websites are full of info
Whats wrong with good old Lbs and ounces, whats all the craze with Kgs thingies.
In my day 2240 Lbs EQUALED A TON.
Not 1016 KGS being 1 ton.
Trucks OR vans under 3500 KGS do not require the operators Licence to carry goods for hire and reward [Although your Insurance might].
Another thought> you must be rich if you filled the fuel tank or is it more a case of once you filled tank you ceased to be rich
