Title: Vehicle Description on WA Lic Papers
Post by: autocat21 on February 14, 2009, 06:16:17 PM

I have a bit of a query, was just checking the Lic papers on the truck and it lists the Body type as being a P/van that can't be right can it?
I would of thought maybe Furniture truck or Removal Truck but not a Panel Van. What do they list a real Van as? ???

yep, mine too, I think that most Bedfords were listed as P/vans, my old mans furn van was a p/van too. Perth WA.I'm pretty sure it refers to the Panel type van as luton body or panels on the side of ur furn van

Hey Guys, The p/van description on your rego papers is what you want!! Light truck or anything light that will probably double your rego cost, makes it a commercial vehicle.
Thats how it works here in S.A and we've got the slackest rego rules around. My old motorhome I sold  a couple years ago had lapsed for 6 years; into motor reg, paid money and she was back on the road.
