Thread: Series 2a rego vehicle type

Late to the party here but I’d guess that it would be best to register it as a wagon if you want to have it seat more than 3 people. Once it’s registered as a wagon it’s easy to use as a Ute, but not the other way around as I doubt you’d get a Ute registered with more than 3 seating positions.

As has been mentioned previously, it is acceptable to temporarily remove rear seats without affecting how it is classed in most states (not sure I Tassie, you’d need to check) - if you get pulled up it’s simple to say ‘I took the seats out to go to the tip’ etc.

When my RRC was on the road, the back seat spent half it’s time in the garage, it was much more useful that way.

Why not just register as a sedan - I am thinnking here something the equivalent to a two door 5 seat BMW convertible. You can have the top down and have people sitting in the back, top up like a normal car - seats in use or not.

Same with a series - top down, passengers in the back seats, top up the same.

My Haflinger was on full registration in Tas and is a 4 seater - was registered as a Haflinger Tray - I see Tray is not on your list of options yet that is what my rego docs say.

Here in the ACT it is termed a Light Truck as is my 101 - 2 tonne difference in weights.

While the prudent this was to go and ask the authorities about this, often it is better to present the vehicle and take it from there - eg soft top and seats in the back.

Good luck with it - not easy.
