Well.... Berlingos come in different GVW's (Depends on engine and model) so it looks like some are treated as cars and some as goods vehicles. And Connects are definitely goods vehicles.... (I think), so restricted to 50 on single carriageways and 60 on dual carriageways.

i think its one of these stupid government legislations that needs revising i have just been told there is an anceinet bye law that says if you own a hackney carrage the driver and any passengers are allowed to urinate against the rear left wheel of the vehicle as long as you carry a bail of hay in the boot apparently this law is still in force to this day

ka vans where made really because BT needed 'em whilst the fiesta was renewed, can only as 1.3 petrol
Highest gross weight for a berling (800LX) is 1990Kg taxed as LGV
now may be wrong but you can pee agaist the wheel of your can / van as long as you have one hand on the vechile???

A friend had a sprinter and was done for 70 when he should have been doing 60! On a dual carriageway! So you had better read up the new rules, its the drivers responsibility not the companies!

My views are mine, like them or not most often they are right. When they are wrong, you did not read the answer correctly.
AFAIAA the Berlingo with windows and more seats is a van derived car so is still limited.
but its taxed as a car.....
You won't be 90mph in a berlingo, unless its downhill...

You haven't experienced the new Berlingo engines. They are totally different to the old ones. Up hills in 4th gear! instead of the old days of 2nd gear and struggling.

My driving style is a bit like WRC so it's maximum revs in the lowest gears for corners for maximum speed out of it. I never actually found my old 02 plate partner sluggish or slow.
