If you buy an Iveco get the metal armed mirror ones
Up to 2006 as the later plastic arms will smash the door window if they get hit and come round
P/s don’t forget that most 7.5t are down rated
Also if you buy a pre mid 2001 it will not be limited
Don’t get an Ateco you’ll put yer shoulder out putting it in reverse
Get a Iveco DAF LF , MAN or if you can find a late one a Volvo

I am entitled to drive a 7.5t lorry on my licence as I acquired it in 1995.
I know I can't drive it for work as I'd need cpc, tacho, 6 weeks check, 'O' licence blah blah blah.
However, if I wanted to use 1 under 100km to go and collect my own materials and not for work or profit.
Would that be allowed?
From experience what would I need on top of insurance, mot, tax, valid driving licence.?
I'm still looking and no I'm not being a lazy Cnut but the question is there.
Ps, not transit specific but I could use a 4.6t or eurocargo whatever.

I'm working up things.
Basically it would be to collect the wood I purchase to make the product.
I would be using a 3.5t curtainsider to deliver product.
So 7.5 goes to the supplier as it would mean less trips, and the daily whip would be the little van.

In that case you would need a O Licence and a drivers CPC because it's for financial gain.

Ah ok. Indirectly but still a gain.
