7.5t surely ??
couldn't see it having much of a load capacity at that though ??
my 7.5t license allows me to go to 12t gross (pre '97) from memory - used to tow with my 7.5

What is the road tax on it? I saw one similar a few months ago when driving through Alderley Edge and out of curiosity did a tax check and was cheaper than my D4 to tax!
Edit, just looked…£200

Car wise I'm sure anything after 2017 is 200 a year and the luxury vehicle tax on top for the first 5 years.What is the road tax on it? I saw one similar a few months ago when driving through Alderley Edge and out of curiosity did a tax check and was cheaper than my D4 to tax!

Been looking at discoveries and seems the d5 are all 200 ( except commercials which are £350 ISH)

Yep, it's been interesting how many changes to driving licences have evolved over the years. No doubt causing confusion and frustration for manyLOL ... I'd had a HGV for 22 years in '97
Proud to have held a licence for most categories except for buses Cat D etc - you have to be nice to yer passengers
Loved driving on challenging roads, "You can't bring that lorry down here"
