hhmm, it might work while overseas, but you will be picked up by an ANPR camera as soon as you try to drive it in the UK, cos they will be on the lookout for you & there are a LOT of ANPR cameras in & around the South East.

My thinking is as soon touching UK soil have an mot booked with a Dover garage beforehand!
 
mine as nothing to do with showman . they only have the same rights as you and me . all the same rules for all.
i,m suprised n brown asn,t built an exibition truck . thats a good one . few pics stuck to a roll up blind cat.14 on the exemptions .
 
My bad, I thought I remembered you telling me mini artics are classed as showmans.
 
So is it the vehicle or the person that has to leave after 6 months?
 
both really .you need a residency permit . supposedly . the car needs registering .
for work you dont need a work permit but require a residency permit . if you are eu passported .
you really do need one of those books . living and working in spain ..

Yup my mate was only an hour or so off the ferry when he was pulled over. They were actually quite reasonable considering.
 
Interesting !

But then of course I guess you need the license to drive it too , or can I do it on my pre 97 license ?

In Portugal you need residency to work, your tax number shows that you make tax returns and this is needed for official employment. There may be some casual work about but these days most of that goes to locals. You can also get a non-resident tax number which allows you to own cars and property, get a bank account, phone contracts etc, without making a tax return. I had one of these and Mrs Maxi still has one because we have a car there still. Need to go back in the autumn to MOT and tax it, they don't have a SORN system and the fines for not paying the 16 euro road tax can get nasty.

When buying a vehicle do you have to pay a large tax on top too?
Thanks.

Sounds like a plan lol!
 
iveco... you can drive mine on a pre 97 license.
the tow unit as to be over 3,500kg gvw to be hgv plated and testing exempt . mines 6.300kg gvw . train been lowered to 8.250kg .
if the tow unit was dropped to 3,500kg gvw . you could then use the full trainweight of the original truck . thats 9.8 ton with mine and drive on a pre 97 car licence
b+e pre97 allows you to pull any weight trailer as long as the trainweight of the tow unit isnt broken .
its possible to lower some 7.5ton trucks to 3.5ton and have a train of 11-12 ton . driven on a b+e.
but then they must both be mot,ed trailer and truck .

There is a pretty heavy 'matriculation' tax which is considered to be advance road tax, hence the 16 euros for our little Matiz. So yes even second-hand cars cost more. If you are becoming a resident you can import one car with no matriculation tax but the rules are difficult and most people employ experts, even more cost. Mind you it is all a small cost to enjoy the life out there.
 
like everything change just keeps happening . other than the 1960 bit i cant realy think of the v112 being much use to me .
the v112g is very usefull . and interesting . did you look at those links?
