Tony, I have already found out from my communication with the DVLA UK that my Australian Driving Licence C class (a vehicle up to 4.5 Ton) won't transfer over to a UK C1 licence (vehicle 3.5 ton to 7.5 ton)
This Ford Transit being a small bus is border line 3.5 ton So it should be classed as a B class licence. I hope.
I am told that it is under 3.5 t.
I really don't need to get stopped for having the wrong type of licence catagory.
anyway I can't just keep talking about it here I will just have to see what I can get and what it will cost $$$ for the insurance MOT and tax etc
Thank you all
