Tayne Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 would now be a good time to mention this is still on the amby class and as such is tax and MOT exempt?How can you tell?Was it this sentence on the dvla website"This vehicle can be licensed at a DVLA Local Office without the V5C Registration Certificate" ?And do you think it will be de-ambulancified prior to collection?

Milford Cubicle Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Does the classification still apply when it falls in to private hands? Crazy if it does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Any ambulance remains on the ambulance tax bracket until the DVLA is told otherwise, just the same as any other tax class. The last taxation class change I did was from Disabled to PLG, and I did that at the DVLA itself, as I was giving them money as opposed to getting tax for free I suppose they were happy to make the change, so it's probably the same with ambulance to PLG. Why would you want to though? :lol:You can tell it's still tax exempt (free) as there is no fee given for the road tax when you look up the reg on the DVLA website.

155V6 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Oooh, liking that. A lot. Though personally, I'd get some less ridiculous wheels and paint it beige.Liking it too,I'd fit some 15 inch steels & paint it matt black.I'd also fit the leopard print seat covers I had in my last matt black Cortina(Mk 5 2.3 2-door ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 How hard is it to get a vehicle onto Ambulance class? If I went out, bought a ratty old Freight Rover, painted "PARALETIC" on the side and stuck a blue lampshade on top with a 20W bulb in it, would the DVLA be happy just to give me a free taxdisc? Or do you need to do all that tedious medical training and wear the OMG ANNEKA RICE jumpsuit? As for the unscrapping of cars, the DVLA state that it should need a VIC, but as usual they're too busy* to do their job properly so often just skip that bit. I've heard of a few Cat Cs being returned to the road without a VIC too, again on the doovla website it says that it's a requirement. I think they only do it if they think something is suss - if you're returning a written off tax exempt Mk2 Mexico to the road they might want to check it out for the number that go 'missing', but for something more normal - meh.

Or do you need to do all that tedious medical training and wear the OMG ANNEKA RICE jumpsuit? I was told recently (by a private paramedic) it's ridiculously easy to get the ambulance class, or at least it was when he tried it (in Lincolnshire) on a Laguna and a berlingo van. He applied, took the vehicle to the DVLA, they checked the VIN number and the vehicle in front of them against their records, and he got his classification and tax disc. I have to point out (and even he was surprised by this) that although he is qualified to drive and ambulance (medically and advanced driving) he did not need to show any qualifications, even though he had them with him. All he did to the vehicles is fit blue lights and signage, and the van wasn't even finished at the time, inside it didn't even have a stretcher just some extra storage. Both vehicles were PLG taxed and tested at the time of re classification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
