    Hi Guys,

    Can a carvan be turned into a car legally?

    Obviously puting back in seats etc is no problem but just wondering about registering it and paying VRT etc, has anyone done this?

    Have a carvan that I no longer need and think turning the van into a car might be cheaper than trading it in.

    cheers

    Can be done but would probably cost €2,000 to do it properly, new windows needed, seats, seat belts, seat belt anchor points, pay VRT on reclassification. Unless it's worth a good €10k at the moment I wouldn't bother.

    Price the Vrt, because you'll have to pay that.

    Then price seats, putting in new windows and seatbelts, and work from there.

    The answer to your question is yes.
