MattW Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 This seems like an interesting idea for a 'self build' project. I could live in that full time. Just need to obtain a PSV driving licence (or whatever it is for buses) and have access to a bit of land. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EmmaRoid #FBPE#JC4PM#GTTO Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I can recall at least one plush DD conversion (like this) and one scabby DD conversion (school bus) from George Clarke's show too. For people with no real DIY/trades experience, it would be a 'steep' learning curve Edited April 17, 2017 by 24 year mortgage 8itch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
long time lurking Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) You don`t need a psv licence (only necessary for carrying paying passengers) ,depending when you passed your test and the vehicle weight, you could possibly drive that on a car licence That classic London double decker`s came in a fair bit less than 7.5 ton so if you passed your test before 1997 they can be driven on a car licence Edited April 19, 2017 by long time lurking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreenDevil Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Started at 16ton, with all the gubbins in that youd need a HGV licence to drive it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Come to think of it an HGV licence makes more sense as it's no longer a bus per se. Perhaps a motorhome or Winnebago is the way to go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I you passed your test before 97 anything 7.5 ton or lower can be driven on a car licence ,it is possible to have 12 gross weight box vans/lorries derated to 7.5 ton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
