;) Officially NO. Limit is 7.5 Tonnes roughly 16,500 lbs.
Been there and done that, but never stop learning. We are not dreaming. We are doing it for real.

Hi Janet
Nice coach your friends have bought, but unfortunately as John has said it is over weight to be driven on a standard (pre 1997) C1 (+E) license.
See here DVLA for information.
I hope this helps
