GBC, use your noggin that pick up could be made into an open top cab, and you could do some site seeing tours with it.
2 rows of bench seats along the side using the tail gate to get in and out
6 pass @ £20 per person per hour and bobs your uncle

Good suggestion, now go back to your crayons and put your tongue back in.

It's a TX2 conversion with a TX4 radiator. I'm not sure why it's on a 57 plate though?

I'd imagine H&S would stop you, besides you would have to get a 'Taxi' licensed as a PH which would'nt happen.

Good novelty value for an LTI dealership though?

It would only need a street traders licence or a tour operators the same as the tour bus one, as it would not be used as a taxi or PH as it would need 4 doors and a roof.
There are some white soft top cabs that are used for weddings there is one up here

Are you making the law up as you go along again skip :wink:

How many seats has the vehicle got?

And wedding vehicles are exempt from licensing.

NO CC.
If I had that vehicle I would get 6 seats fitted to the sides and a small set of steps fitted to the rear, and possibly a safety rail around the bed.
I would the approach the transport commissioner for a special tour licence or who ever supply them and run a hour or two tours around the land marks

Never heard of a special tour license, have you made that up?

So in order to put this on the road GBC would have to start a bus company? :lol:
