The only body to answer this is the applicable registration authority in the State the owner wants to stick rego plates to it, the rest is opinion, which is great for a chat but until someone hands over plates at the counter, none of us really know.

So maybe take the auction photos to an Authority office, ask to speak with an Inspector and go from there. You probably wouldn't get a definitive answer without the vehicle present but worth a shot.

Barefoot Dave has answered my question. The vehicle has been modified in service and the 2 rear facing seats, modified roll bar and seat belt mounts were not fitred by the factory and therefore would require engineering approval by an engineer approved by your relevant registration authority. My curiosity has been satisfied.
