I'm starting to feel a bit of optimism with this vehicle at long last.

The only legal question about driving without the roof is the upper seatbelt mount - and as you comment, it is old enough not to need them. However, depending on age, it may actually have upper mounts on the body capping across the bulkhead behind the seats. These are a bit low, but better than not having belts.

Thanks JD

I noticed your other reply in the Series II section. There could be quite a few big problems, on account of having a 161 engine.

I don't want to get ahead of myself, so I'll wait till its in Melbourne, and determine whether to fight the battle to get an Approval Certificate, or advertise it in the markets.
