My first thought would be why did VWUK drop Beach for the Coast, when historically was the Coast they left out?The question in my mind is if VWUK could now reintroduce the Beach to the UK market and successfully claim to DVLA that it is substantially the same as a Coast or Ocean, and thereby have the same motor caravan classification for VED.
An easy argument to say because Beach didn't tick the MH requirements. Looking at those again ( albeit the guidance for self conversions) they have been simplified. Water tank etc no longer on the list.

Assuming it has the storage locker I'd say the 2 seat Beach with hidden stove ticks all these requirements. The 3 seater, without stove, stays an mpv.
