http://assets.swiftgroup.co.uk/uploads/HandBooks/m... lists the maximum weight as 3400 kg, so should be ok on a standard licence

Going by "Model: Boxer 320 MWB", I'd say yes. The 320 usually refers to the maximum vehicle weight, which should equate to 3200kgs.

I don't get it either. A neighbour of my mother-in-laws has just sold what was basically a "K" reg Ford Transit with a st caravan bolted to it for £5k.

My wife spend three hours yesterday talking her mother out of spending £11k on a 2002 Citroen C15 camper. Its a 30 year old design and a 13 year old van. She just kept on saying "It's only done 40k and it has been stored in a garage". Yes, but it is £11k, French and 13 years old. Every single bit of rubber and electrical component will be on its way out.

In the end we found a company that will convert an MPV for her for £3k, and £8k buys a lot of vans leased on motobility with wheelchair access conversions, so have already been striped and no one wants to buy as a car.

As the specs state a max permissible mass of not more than 3400 for any model then it legal to drive on a basic B licence which has a 3500 GVW vehicle limit

You can also tow a max trailer plated at 750 kg behind it on a B licence if the vehicle specs allow for that
