Purchasing an old coach
Discussion
Having wanted to buy an old coach for years i thought i'd put some thought into it
It would be late 70's early 80's so around 40 years old, i'm in the understanding it can be driven on a car licence? I passed in 1994 so have grandfather rights.
I'm not looking to convert it to a motorhome or anything but instead use for for shows and general stuff like that, can it be re-registered for private use or anything like that?
Things like MOT, is it different as it wouldn't be a working commercial vehicle?
Anyone got somewhere i can park a coach

Superb information, thanks
You're right about being over 25 years old so won't need a tacho, i believe for personal use a tacho is not required anyway regardless of age, same as renting a 7.5 tonner to move house.
I have a CPC for work so if it was needed that's not a problem.
MOT's etc i'll do a little more research
Only problem being, SWIMBO has said she'll only let me have one if she gets an engagement ring
Just got to wait for the one i want to come up for sale, it's apparently still on the road along with her sister coach, one in the Stafford area, the other whereabouts unknown however.
