I thought you just had ‘veteran characteristics’

I have flirted with the idea of a big yankee truck, the sticking point for me has always been spares and someone who can fix them.

It seems ironic that " old gits  can tow what they friggin like and younger dudes with a bit more muscle can't  . I passed my test in 1969 which means I can tow a space shuttle

The word UNLADEN is in the wrong place. I would want to see the VIN / Weight plate before making comment on legality.

it doesnt have one as it yank. Here is what it has.

Well I can see it.

GVWR 3991kg.

 

As long as that plate is on the car with no amendment & the V5c says 3500kg UNLADEN it can not be driven on a cat B licence.

 

You need C1 & C1E to tow with it.

 

If towing on a pre 97 C1E 107 restriction you would be limited to about 3000kg of trailer weight dep on real weight of the vehicle.

 

Get the V5c amended & get a new weight plate made up to match. However also get it on a weigh bridge empty so you can see what it actually weighs & if there would be any capacity left with it at 3500kg.

[Justme]

The 3500kg should be in section F1.

1969! I take the veteran back, you’re definitely ‘ancient’
