The link below confirms that a Berlingo van is not a car derived van, hence a limit of 50mph on single carriageways and 60 on dual-carriageways

However, I always thought that the MkIII being based on the C4 platform IS a car derived van in which case the limit would be 60 on single carriageways and 70 on dual-carriageways.
If anyone here has a MKIII van, could they have a look at their V5 to see if it is described as a ‘car-derived van’ or not.
I also assume that if someone converts their multispace into a van it then has to confirm to the lower limits?
Its a daft piece of old legislation made when 'vans' had leaf springs and drum brakes. Unfortunately many drivers get fined for speeding without realising that they are breaking the law.
