Hi breedy, the answer to your question is: you can drive any vehicle shown in the pic below…
A picture saves a thousand words, or so they say. 
I hope this helps.

So he can only drive a Renault Magnum and a Volvo FH (old shape) tractors on a class 2

No,that is an old wives tale.
I was wondering if it would be this year or next before someone posted about the 5th wheel being removed, thought we might have got into next year before that happened but I was wrong. I knew someone would post it though as someone has on the other 50 or so times this question has been asked. 
Thanks for the replies thats just won me some money. 
Happy new year, lets hope it 's going to get alot better very soon.

Not so much old wives tale as just old legislation which no longer applies, and hasn’t done for years.

Hi jessicas dad, as this is a question relating to driving licence entitlements, the answer to your question is “no,” the fifth wheel doesn’t have to be removed in order to drive a tractor unit when the driver holds a Cat “C” driving licence.
IIRC, there was something to do with plated weights and vehicle taxation, but that’s a completely different topic to the OP’s question, so I wouldn’t wish to confuse the issue.
I believe you do have to cut off all of the susies with a pair of bolt croppers and put them in the passenger footwell of a proper class 2 vehicle though. It should really be an 8-wheel tipper, but i think the legislation has been relaxed a little on that now
PS, Ignore all of the above, i was messing. Happy New Year

Hi Semtex 
I hadn’t realised that the tractor units on my pic had ‘aged’ a bit.
this is what you get mixing new laws with old cats of licence
confusion

It was something to do with no 5th wheel making it an incomplete vehicle which could therefore be driven on an ordinary, i.e. car not truck, licence. Doesn’t apply any more.
I’m trying to remember what was said about the PRIVATE unit that Chris Eubank owns…
Was it dowplated to under 7.5 tonnes (so it can be driven on a pre 97 car licence) with the fifth wheel covered (if that had owt to do with it?) and taxed as a private vehicle
Same ■■■■, different year!
