You have to do your class 2 before you do your class 1, my mate got them both for just over a grand.

I did my class 2 when i was 21, cost me just over 1000 for theory, 4 day course and test on the 4th day, passed first time but a retest is somewhere in the region of 80quid.
I was driving a 18tonne gas wagon when i first passed, when i was 24 i changed jobs to work in a quarry for tarmac and was given an 04 plate Volvo Globetrotter, then March 2008 this baby arrived for me.......

I love 8 wheelers 
Just join the TA as a driver and you get it all paid for you, then leave and you have all your licenses including PCV 
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
