DEFENDER designer VS BOLLINGER designer

From what I've read the Bollinger will be classed as an actual truck rather than a passenger vehicle so avoids some of the safety requirements.

I agree. Although it’s nothing new:

I doubt very much that that's correct.

I'm happy to sit on the sidelines at the moment and see what actually happens. The Bollinger looks cool/retro and a clone of a Land Rover so if it ends up a practical solution for my needs then I may be in the market.
At some point in the future I possibly won't have a choice of getting an ICE powered vehicle but by then I probably won't be driving.......

Well ADR's on older vehicles will still apply , but not on newer imports, because they already don't !!


Nah, you'll be driving Electric ! .... :wheelchair: Mobility Scooters are Electric.

Thanks Colin, strictly true. But any non 4x4 Rover is essentially a road rover. Infact all current Land Rover 4x4s are primarily road rovers.

Interesting point of view but the ones in the pictures they actually called Road Rovers.

So the Government website is incorrect Australian Design Rules

"The Act requires all road vehicles, whether they are newly manufactured in Australia or are imported as new or second hand vehicles, to comply with the relevant ADRs at the time of manufacture and supply to the Australian market"

I cant see anything on there that discredits what Im saying, Fact is the 2013 and onwards Iveco 4x4's are ADR non compliant , and I did read that ADR's wont be a thing on any new imports post 2018 . but darned if I can find it now.
