Not convinced about that! Think you would have to go through a procedure to notify DVLA or VOSA, it might not be straightforward!

just asking the question , i know you can down rate a wagon by taking out a leaf or changing the springs , just seems daft at times how the wording on a form can catch some folk out .

I just get my hard top MOT at a car garage. Don't see why it should be an issue, I think the all up weight is only 2650 kg or suchlike.

Interesting! Just had a look at mine, it says Revenue Weight 3499kg too.Not quite sure what they mean by that, last time I had mine on a weighbridge it was 1840 kg with me in it. I would have thought 1600 kg was a lot of payload,maybe it is ok?

as turboman has just stated his is 3499kg's revenue weight , are those who passed their test after 96 ( i think ) still entitled to drive them or are they in driving other than in accordance with their licence due to the weight class ?.

I think after 97 you had to sit a different test to drive a vehicle over 3.5tonnes

If you tow anything, even a compressor, with a Sherpa or Transit then you need a tachograph and come under the tacho rules.

i know you have to have tacho fitted and use a disc if your towing a trailer for commercial use , and if you have a vehicle fitted with a tacho and it is NOT for commercial use you don't have to use a disc but you have to have it calibrated every couple of years , just get's more and more confusing .

But so is a transit. if it's a motorhome it's a class 4. likewise if it's a mini bus its 4, 4a or 5, if it's a van it's a class 7
no different to a landy,

Bull****e.. If your carrying/towing for hire or reward it needs a tacho. if your carrying goods normally used in the excution of your business and operating within a predefined radius of the registered address (50km IIRC) then you don't.

My 90 hardtop (van) is class 4
What's the Gross vehicle weight or Max Authorised Mass on ya 90?? if it's more than 3000kg it's a class 7?? I know the 110 will be class 7 this year, even though GVW is 3050kg.
NB this doesn't include max train weight which is gvw + towing limit (3500kg for 90 or 110)

110's (and 90's) are all Class 4 (Dual Purpose vehicles).
However, some are erroneously listed on the VOSA database as Class 7 (as are some Range Rovers) and come up as that when the Tester logs them on.
If that happens to you, tell the Tester to phone VOSA and they will change the record for your vehicle.
130's are Class 7.

I know they used to be. But was under the impression that's all gone now the new regs have come out.

DFT definition of a Dual Purpose vehicle..
"
Dual-purpose vehicle"
means a vehicle constructed or adapted for the carriage both of passengers and of goods or burden of any description, being a vehicle of which the unladen weight does not exceed 2,040 kilograms, and which satisfies the following conditions as to construction, namely:
a. the vehicle must be permanently fitted with a rigid roof, with or without a sliding panel;
b. the area to the rear of the driver's seat must -
i. be permanently fitted with at least one row of transverse seats (fixed or folding) for 2 or more passengers and those seats must be properly sprung or cushioned and provided with upholstered back-rests; attached either to the
seats or to a side or the floor of the vehicle; and
ii. be lit on each side and at the rear by a window or windows of glass or other transparent material having an area or aggregate area of not less than 1,850 square centimetres on each side and not less than 770, square centimetres at the rear; and
c. the distance between the rearmost part of the steering wheel and the back-rests of the row of transverse seats satisfying the requirements specified in sub-paragraph b(i) above or, if there is more than one such row of seats, the distance between the rearmost part of the steering wheel and the back-rests of the rearmost such row
must, when the seats are ready for use, be not less than one-third of the distance between the rear most part of the steering wheel and the rear most part of the floor of the vehicle.
Not much there that relates to a 110 van???
