I was in the ambulance service as a NHS paramedic. In the early hours , back at base, if the crew room was full I would sleep on the stretcher in these 😁

Cool, but as an ex paramedic I can tell you these vans are thrashed to within an inch of their lives.

Yeah but on the flip side of that they are serviced and maintained very well.

No fucking way, imagine all the people who died in that, all the blood and stuff that you would find in cracks etc when stripping it. Not for me, no way.

Only requires a C1(7 1/2 ton ) licence, C1-E is articulated , i.e. drawing a trailer ., the E is basically " Extension " , B+E (car) up to 7 1/2 ton , c1=e, c+e (artic ) d+e bus/coach etc ., all which you need to sit a test on .

You only need a C1 licence not C1E which is a 7.5 tone plus trailer licence. However you can replate these to 3.5 tonne but obviously that reduces your weight limit

Good afternoon!! Thank you for the comment and correcting me :) unfortunately now you cannot downrate these vans to 3500kg. The DVLA require at-least 1000kg payload to downrate nowadays!
