The trouble is that these historic vehicles are MOT exempt and have reduced insurance and zero tax based on them being used for social, domestic and leasure use only. In other words 'no load is permitted'
A couple of us were discusing this issue with a man from VOSA when we took out track laying test. We asked what constitutes a load? He said " anything from your lunch box upwards" Although it would take a jobsworth cop to pull you for your lunchbox. As always, it's when an accident happens that the wotzit hits the fan! Ron

you are right, a load constitutes anything that is not fixed to and forming part of the vehicle, technically the water itself would have been a load, you are merely exchanging one type of load for another...however as the vehicle has been modified it may change things......... i think there would be a loop hole for the tax and test as you are not using the vehicle in the course of a business or for hire / reward ergo you are still using it for social domestic and pleasure. a bit of a grey area methinks, I shall make some further enquiries..... just thinking on i wonder if one of these would go into the back of a horse box ? you could make the remainder of space accomodation for shows etc...and you can get horse boxes pre 72 again tax exempt.
any road have we found out who's carrier it is that is going ?

Which models of truck were you using as if it will come in under 7.5 ton I will consider doing it. From memory your Carrier is a Mk11* as well but with the manual being so specific on weights I was not going to bother buying a 7.5 ton truck. The most older models of 7.5 truck will carry is 3.5 ton. Last edited by Neil Ashley; 20-06-10 at 12:20.
