The bus in the OP is surely a 220cu, not 440cu. Our bedford has the 330cu and wouldn't dream of 25mpg, sounds like it's got the four pot. You need the correct license even if it's a motorhome, in my case I needed to get my Cat C as I passed my car test in 2001. Pre 1960 vehicles can be driven on a car license if unladen and unmodified from what I've read. I want this beast. 4x4, mollycroft roof, woodstove, beds etc:  |

Vehicle age don't matter. It is what it is and u need the right licence for it. Its like saying u can drive a Ford Anglia on a motorbike licence because it's over XX years old lol

PSV over 30 years old & with less than 8 (IIRC) persons on board you can drive on a car license, 'tho you may need the 7.5t car license, I can't remember off hand. Pre 1960 commercials can definitely be driven on any full car license but I think you need to be 18. The vehicle must be unladen. I'm certain of this because I've had to check that I can legally drive my friend's WW2 tank transporter despite only having a baby license, which I can. I've a feeling this applies to anything pre 1960 with the exception of motorcycles but I've only looked into it regarding heavy commercials. |

The first ebay link reminds me of my old bus. Think he's a tad optimistic with the MPG, best I ever got with my 330 diesel and 5 speed was about 18mpg when it was empty. Not to mention cruising at 40 mph you become a mobile chicane on the motorway. At least mine would sit at 60, struggled on hills though.  |

I'm pretty sure that's true- however, I think that I'm still stuffed 'cos of my 3.5t license, I've a feeling you still need a 7.5t one for something like this. yeh your stuffed.. you need to have had your liscence since before they capped it off below 7.5t i always planned on touring in one, but id miss having car to blip around roads in. also the actual costs of running one of these.. not just fuel/tax/mot but the actual parts and labour is alot more than your average car. |

Still, £3,800 is very cheap for a home.
In these times of economic crisis, why are we still living in insanely expensive bricks and mortar?
