Has anyone had a kombi converted into a 9 seat shuttle?

As I understand it:
- You won't get it changed from N1 to M1.
- You will get 'van with windows' on the V5, so still limited to commercial vehicle speed limits.
- You need to change the number of seats on the V5.
- Apart from that, I can't see why you wouldn't get insured.
Ooh, that's placed the Felis Catus amidst the Columba Livias!
How does ANPR camera based systems take into account how it's being used?
It doesn't. You will get a ticket in the post and you have to appeal it accordingly, usually with photos etc etc.
See top of page 2 here: Notice of Intended Prosecution/Speeding and the speed limits for a van however lets not sidetrack the OP's request for Shuttle conversion info.
Regards the OP question:
- Depending on what seat layout you want mid row seats have increased in value especially if you want the 1/1/1 set as opposed to the 2/1 set up.
- Triple benches don't usually cost much.
- brackets for inside the van have gone a bit crazy in pricing
- brackets for underneath still seem normal from places like THQ or even VW
- you will probably also want a shuttle carpet, they dont seem to cost much although there seem to be more LWB shuttles than SWB so what van are you thinking of converting?
- windows for mid row easily sought from usual suppliers
- windows for rear panels I dont honestly know
- I am sure it cant be difficult to add a rear window either however unlikely to be so simple to wire up demister and wipers etc
Ideally you are looking for someone who has bought a shuttle to do a conversion and so you can shop for it all in one place as that is likely to be the most cost effective option.
Installation of seats isn't overtly challenging or costly from a labour perspective.
Unless you have the best van already with an amazing spec I'd just be looking to get a shuttle.

I bought mine as a 9 seat window van (classed same as a car on the V5) and dropping to 8 seats made a huge difference to the insurance.
I do wonder if there is some confusion in the insurance world as I read there there is a threshold at 9 passengers whereas the T6 would be 8 passengers plus driver which is subtly different.
