Good on you. You're lucky to get a vehicle of that age licenced. Some areas have stupidly low ages for "new" vehicles to their system. Wishing you well .

our LA allows 1st plate on a 10 year old "purpose built" vehicle

not sure what a "purpose built" is and they dont answer emails if they can help it

I hope you've told the Taxman you've paid £50K for a car and something that doesn't belong to you, he'll piss himself laughing.

Yh took it there as wanted to give it in P/X for a newer maybe 2010-2011 Tx4 but there rates are not good and they dont offer much for your cab.
Before i bought i heard it was a 05 as its hardly came on road as he didnt drive much but then when went to see it it was a 06 but i still prefer the tx4.
My day was ok 5am-5pm 1Hour break in between was a good day, Now the night driver gone untill about 2am.

Was it £50,000 or £15.500? Is that the same Car as Shown or a Different one?

I'm confused
