Cat C1E - please clarify

ROG:
Adding C to a pre 97 licence gives you an EXTRA C1

Nothing else changes

To change C1E 107 to an unrestricted C1E you need to pass the C1E or CE test

Many thanks.

An unrestricted C1E will still only allow one a combination of 12T (so only an extra 3.75T). As you say one needs CE.

I had an interview for a farm machinery firm once and they were interested that I had grandfather rights… I can only think that the tow vehicle was perhaps 4-5T - wasn’t a 7.5T anyway. What I didn’t understand was that I didn’t have more to offer as a holder of Cat C than a younger lad with Cat C (he would have the C1E 107 as well) but perhaps not the BE.
