Can a classic Mini shell fit in a Transit Luton van?
Presumably not in a medium base Transit? (I'm not old enough to drive a LWB on my licence automatically)
Also, how much does a shell weight? I.e. can two people lift it easily?

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
4 people can easily lift an MGBGT shell.
What are you limited to with your licence? I thought you had upto 7.5t and towing rights back again?

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
Eddie will probably correct me but I believe it's only up to 3.5t vehicle on a 7.5t vehicle train on post 1997. Didn't get the (non commercial?) 7.5t vehicle entitlement.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
No C1 freebie. But you can skip C1/C and go straight to CE.
BE freebie is 3.5T puller + 3.5T trailer = 7.0 GTW
Get a car trailer and get it bought.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
Maybe? I thought they were over 3.5t.

Nope all lwb 3.5t gross the only bigger ones are the 460 spec ones that were special order for the police and you'll never find one of those that hasn't been downplated to avoid tacho operators license problems etc
