Cant see that being under 7.5t to be fair and it probably has a MAM greater than that anyway, so you'll need a CAT C license (rigid lorry license) to drive that. Looks pretty cool!

for 97 on license holders you can drive any bus provided it is over 30 years old and you carry no more than 8 passengers.
Although you need to be careful about removing all the seats as its a grey area as to when the vehicle is no longer a bus....

You only need a cpc for hire and reward.
Pre 97 licenses come with cat D1 which is up to 16 seats, its new type licenses which limit up to 8 seats. The age of the vehicle doesn't play a part, the rules have changed alot to stop people driving vehicles that size on technicalities.
Never driven a bus but looks like its got a shit load of only hang front and rear, have to watch the street furniture

You will need a class c licence for that because of the unladen weight,
car trailer laws for post 97 licences are you can tow with a vehicle of up to 3500kg with a trailer and contents of no more than 750kg giving a gross weight not execeeding 4250kg.
or you can tow a larger trailer but the gross weight must not exceed 3500kg
average 4x4 = 1900kg
average car trailer 600kg
average occupants and kit for trackday 400kg
leaving 600kg for the track car
general rule is whatever you are towing should not exceed 85% of the tow vehicles weight but on some vehicles this can be up to 100%
Either way class b holders will find it hard to keep within the limits with anything bigger than a fiesta.
