• Companies purchasing the new Austin Maxi should note that it is officially classified as a dual-purpose vehicle, the FTA has pointed out. This means that when it is used for business purposes and goods (and this includes samples, post being taken to the post office and service engineers' tools) are carried, two additional obligations fall upon its owners.
First, it must be taxed at the goods vehicle rate of £36 10s„ not at the £25 private car rate. Secondly the drivers' hours regulations must be observed by its driver. Although there is no legal requirement for drivers' records to be kept for this class of vehicle, companies are advised, in their own interests, to adopt some simple form of record system.
