Unimog Club UK

Hello.

I'm looking at purchasing a 1999 (T reg) 100l unimog. It is right hand drive and it used to have a cherry picker on the back. That have been removed as it was damaged; so it's now just a cab and chassis. It needs finishing/restoring, which doesn't bother me. What is bothering me is the license caterogy. The persons selling it says you can drive it on a provisional license (car) so I'm assuming it is under 'other engineering plant'. (See link below) Now, I want to buy it to transport my tractors to and from shows, put lift arms on the front and back then I can use it with my tractor implements, and maybe show it too. I have found these guidelines on the Internet. According to the person selling it, the log book says 'specialist vehicle'. I don't have a class 1 or 2. Can I drive it and with what I want to do; do I need to change the caterogy and if so, can I still drive it on a car license???

100l doesn't have a lot of power in the way of torque it was never meant to have linkage but there's no thinking to stop you fitting it but you will need to be creative with any ptos.
If you passed your car test before 1997 you can drive it as its max weight will be around 7.5 tons you may get it plated below 3.5 but that's about what it weighs empty better to get it registered as agri as that's what you want to use it for. Just bare in mind the lack in power.
