Title: HOW MANY SEATS Post by: COOKY on June 12, 2007, 08:28:16 AM Hi out there,
I'm getting closer to putting my fe sedan on the road & was wondering can it be registered as a 6 seater (with seat belts) as original rego papers i have say it is a 5 seater. COOKY. ??? Title: Re: HOW MANY SEATS Post by: FC_Driver on June 12, 2007, 09:31:13 AM Hi Cooky,
When Jan & I were young we allways thought the front seat was able to accomodate three persons!! Now we realize that the front seat only fits two ??? The back seat allways seamed comfortable (back then), from memory !!!!! I think it accomodates three sitting up. You do pose a good question Bruce........ :D Title: Re: HOW MANY SEATS Post by: cruiser056 on June 12, 2007, 07:17:41 PM I believe that a front bench seat was to accomodate three people, and that a vehicle with a front bench seat was always classed as a 6 seater. I am sure that is the way up here, maybe different in other states. That is according to the different registration laws.

(http://tinyurl.com/2e5e3c) I've never heard of a Holden with bench seating and column shift being limited to only 2 in the front. An Austin A30, maybe... cheers RET Title: Re: HOW MANY SEATS Post by: Johns on June 13, 2007, 03:03:48 AM Aerobilt eh? Does that refer to the missing doors?
Cheers John ;D Title: Re: HOW MANY SEATS Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on June 13, 2007, 03:06:32 AM I would have thought the "legal" seating capacity be based on seatbelts?
In SA there is no requirement to fit seatbelts, I guess you'll need to check with local rego authorities. Title: Re: HOW MANY SEATS Post by: Just40 on June 13, 2007, 06:48:47 AM both my cars have 6 seating rego.(qld)
the wagon has belts for 4 people and the sedan has none. Title: Re: HOW MANY SEATS Post by: COOKY on June 13, 2007, 07:43:50 AM Thanks for all the info guys,i'll give vicroads a ring & see what they think,
