My son is a wheelchair user.. we have a five year old VW Caravelle exec edition worth about 35K pounds. It was adapted with a Side lift for the wheelchair.. it is classified as a Wheelchair Access Vehicle WAV. IS THERE A SPECIAL TAX EXEMPTION for personal adapted vehicles? I can have it converted to Left hand drive (£3500) cost here before import.. I know its not like adapted vehicles like firetruck and ambulance but it is for personal use of a disabled person.
