I think the relevant words are in Rovcoupe's 2nd link:-

"If you passed your category B (car) test before 1 January 1997 you would also have had the entitlement to drive vehicles between 3,500 and 7,500 kg (now known as C1 and C1E vehicles).

However you can only drive such a vehicle and tow a trailer where the total weight of both is no more than 8,250 kg."

so I drive a 3500 motorhome pulling a trailer/car combo with a max of 3500
