You can never get a replacement compliance plate unfortunately. Don't lose your paperwork. If you've got evidence of continuous or even past ergo, you will be ok.

Unfortunately that is not the case - in QLD. A contact of mine is having this issue - Qld rego will not rego an Aussie made Haffie that has current Vic rego as it does not have a compliance plate when it should.Quote:

Hi Garry,
For what it's worth my Haffy doesn't have one either.

You'll have to give it to me, then.Quote:

I am finding this is quite common with many different brands of vehicles built in Aust around that time - many vehicles that should have had compliance plates, don't, but registration authorities don't seem to realise this and say all vehicles had compliance plates from the date they were introduced.Quote:

G'day Folks :)
I can't lay my hands on my loose ADR (Compliance)plate at the moment, but I do know it is stamped something like this,"this vehicle is built to comply with ADR 27a *****(Australian Design Rules) by GMH/Ford/Leyland, these plates apply to Australian built/assembled vehicles, completely built up vehicles, or imported vehicles would not have a compliance plate, at least not in the early years of them, the Perentie was an Australian conceived and built vehicle so hense an ADR plate, my 1980 Series 3 Lightweight FFR, has not got a compliance plate as it is an imported vehicle (Ex Brunei) but is registered in Qld and has been for some years,you should be able to get yours registered in Qld even if only on Historic Registration (must be a recognised vehicle club member) with that I can assist,as I am a member of the Qld Military Jeep Club,yes we take all ex military vehicles,we have one Pinz and a couple of early Unimogs, providing the vehicle is unmodified there should be no problem getting it registered in Qld and on historic rego (about $275 p/a for my 2a)
FOUND :my S3 compliance plate is as follows:
"This vehicle was manufactured by Leyland Motor Corporation of Australia to comply with Australian Design Rule No's 7-8
Land Rover 3 91304***A
12/72 GVW 5905lbs seating cap 3
This plate was fitted with the approval of the Australian Motor Vehicle Certification Board.
There you go :) just as it is stamped on my comp plate,stamped from behind so it has raised lettering they would also have a small 1x1.25 inch Pressed Metal Corp plate inside the cab on the firewall in front of the levers.
The Aust ADR's were to stop imported (grey imports) being registered in Aust with sub-standard brakes/lighting etc, E.G.dipping right not left,dull or over bright tail lights, incorrect glass (tinted) all this went out the door when large Japanese manufacturers stated "This is how we supply the world and You will get the same"
Note how dull(defused) the taillights of 70-80's cars were compared to current newer vehicles.;)
I think Uncle Ho's post (above) needs some clarification.
The compliance plate is affixed to vehicles built, assembled from kits or imported new and sold by the manufacturer. e.g. 2014 Land Rovers are built in the UK and imported by the manufacturer's local office (Land Rover Australia) and plated with the compliance plate.
Vehicles built in another country and imported individually by a specialist workshop under the RAWS are also plated with a "Used Import Plate" which is equivalent of the regular compliance plate. The third option is for vehicles owned by someone overseas for 12 months or more and then imported. These vehicles can be fitted with a Personal Import plate essentially the same as the compliance plate.
Lightweight Land Rovers were never assembled in Australia although Leyland Australia did bring in several for evaluation by the Army, none were sold new and therefore lightweights do not have compliance plates. Prior to the RAWS/SEVS scheme, private imports whether new or used were never plated and this is still the case for vehicles manufactured prior to 1st January 1989.
