Compliance Plates

Queensland Transport is a class act of it's very own,and it often depends on which office (Customer Service Centre) and whom you see,my first attempt to transfer the Rego of my lightweight was questioned as to why it was registered at all, that officer (female) refused point blank to even believe it was a Land Rover at all, as it didn't look like either a Defender, Discovery, Range Rover or Evoque :mad: I had to get an Inspector to personally look at it and he then called the previous woman over and stated "what ever is on that plate record it, and the registered number, then it is transfer as usual"

Problem solved, it was also corrected from 1984 Diesel to 1980 Petrol :D as it had been listed as 84, so therefore the computer stated it was a diesel.

I bought an unregistered White prime mover; unknown sans compliant plate. I had to get a copy made AND AFFIXED by Kit Beasly; the owner of WMC records.

Tony, if you do not have it you should get the Wagenstammkarte (build sheet) for your vehicle as it will give you full details of the build of your vehicle. Haflinger Technik in Scotland have them and will email you a copy for about $40.

Hi Garry,
I do have a copy of my Haffy's "Birthday Papers" as Peter krumheuer refers to them as.

Try registering a newly restored vintage/veteran car whose make does not appear on their data base. 23 year old female clerks with no knowledge of motor vehicles are the customer service officers.

Yep Brian; a very cluey bloke; no matter how his name is spelt. :angel:

Here's a section from the Qld vehicle standards code of practice.

You can definately get it registered in Qld Garry, I've done it many times, on both sides of the counter. As Brian said, sometimes the pinhead behind the counter has no idea.

I agree with the point about pinheads but in this case not the pinhead behind the counter - after the initial rejection was being handled by a pinhead in central office and via official correspondence - reasons given for rejection on paper to which a written response was provided refuting the issues with evidence - to which the department responded with a different bunch of reasons - down to just a couple of items including compliance plate so a win is on the horizon.
