Private HGV Speed Limiter

[Yazza54]

Just wondered if anyone's been through this and has the answers.

I've bought a 65C18 (6.5T gross) Iveco ex snap on van for my racing, to transport the car and tools etc.

I understand that any goods vehicle 3.5t and over has to be limited but the grey area is that it's not a goods vehicle anymore, is privately owned with my name on the V5 and will obviously be stickered up not for hire or reward... Does this mean the speed limiter can be removed or does it need to stay?

Any advice / info much appreciated
