If you are worried you can also get a Unregistered Vehicle Permit for the day or period. Just be aware that it you hit something on the way without a UVP you have no 3rd party personal insurance, so you have to pay for any injuries out of your own pocket.

For those suggesting asking and pleading with the RTA for leniency - don't bother - the RTA has no heart and no feelings. 3 months is the cut off - after that it's a blue slip inspection.

In Qld you need to have the CTP paid in advance (direct through an insurer) and drive DIRECTLY to the inspection station then DIRECTLY to the Transport office. If the vehicle fails inspection and you plan to take it home again, you need to get a permit or tow it.

In NSW if a vehicle is towed with wheels on the ground, I believe the tow needs to be registered. Otherwise it needs to be on a tilt tray.

the pre-paid CTP seems like a good plan.

I don't think that'll be necessary :)

The car hasn't had plates while I've owned it (2 years now) and didn't have them with the previous owner.

Never mind, not long now. There's a bit of body work left to do (a floor would be good), then the electricals, which are straightforward.

I'll get the web site up to date Real Soon Now, and put up a link. In the meantime, here's the latest pictures.

Also a picture of Mark (isuzu-too) picking up the SWB roof.

Very nice Peter!

Yep I agree...very tidy job, every single part has been reconditioned. And under all that shiny fresh galvanising and paint, it still has a lot of character.

That day we learnt that SWB hardtops don't quite fit in iMax vans with the middle row of seats in place :( I got it home okay though Peter, Thanks.

I think that means all the original dings are there under the paint . . .

:angel: the original dings being the factory applied ones :p

P.S. the big bit will be on the lawn near the County and the little bit will be on the passenger seat of the 2a, my nosey neighbours shouldn't be around but if they are, tell them I am swapping some bits for another old Landie. That should go down like a lead balloon and shut them up.

Thanks Mark

I spoke to FWD Brisbane about a road worthy, but they do mech work and only prepurchase inspections.
I also spoke to my usual mechanic, but he warned me that he could not be lenient (eg. oil leaks, etc), but is more then happy to inspect it to tell me all the faults.
Does anyone have a Land Rover biased mechanic in Brisbane that does road worthies?
