United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Santorini Black

I thought if it was registered as a Commercial Vehicle(to save income tax) with a gross weight of 2 tonnes + (which it is) then 60mph limit applies.
If it is registered as dual use then no speed limit but no tax saved,might be wrong of course.

Edited,
Just found the above which clarifies that modified cars are only exempt IF they are under 2 tonnes so the RRS van would be speed limit to 60 mph on dual carriageways. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

That isnt a van! Its an RRS with the seats folded down! I asked about this when I bought mine as a company car as I knew in the past all you had to do was stick a tow bar on and claim it as an agricultural vehicle.
My brother had his Subaru WRX STi type UK registered as an Agricultural Vehicle. I found it to be a little high geared for pulling the plough Whistle Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh
