    Hi
    I was looking at the revenue website and one of the conditions for a conversion is an adverage height person sould be able to walk around inside. The Ford 17 seat bus you do have to bend your head.. would this pass do you know

    I guess that depends on your interpretation of "average" and "comfortably"

    We got a pass on a low roof Transit, there’s no 1.8m rule anymore, and loads of low roof vans have been registered since.

    iirc it was an advisory what the taxman wants and what the insurance want are exclusive.

    I remember going to great length to have 1.8m and almost handing them the tape measure on the VRT inspection way back when and them saying that wasn't necessary.
