What about fitting windows both sides, rear windows, and a row of rear seats, then it is classed as a dual purpose vehicle?
yeah thats the thing ........ i didnt realise it needed glazed rear windows tho........ but the way i interprited it it did need to be below a certain gvw, cant remember exact think its about 2800 but definatly less than 3300 :)

but as its getting the rear seat and proberbly side windows we thought about going for the whole lot :D

No such thing as Dual purpose soon...

Will need a Class 7 MOT

What is the problem with getting a Class 7 anyway?
