Looks like it is on Historic registration rather than Modifided Historic so with those mods is not eligible for ordinary Historic rego as it does not meet the authenticity requirements.

Looks like it started off as a Series 2a then the V8 and other mods done.

Do you really need to ask?

I like the idea though, 2A with a V8. If only the engine was the only mod, (and it was SWB) I could handle that :-)

It's got me thinking of my next project !

In accordance with my understanding of the "H" rego rules I am assuming that the rego has been clubfudged ?

If so, it is this sort of thing that will bring the present trial of a more generous NSW "H" rego system undone for all of us.

I note that he states in his ad that the rego is "non-transferable" - NSW "H" regos aren't and if any eventual buyer was to try get new "H" plates for it through our club he would get short shrift.
