To answer enquiries received to date:

I'm going to organise to have an engineer review the work and provide preliminary advice on modifications performed to date.

The appropriate NSW RTA light vehicle modification guidelines have been followed in the build of this car and proceeding to full registration in NSW should be a formality.

Purchasers from other states should reference these guidelines back to their own state guidelines prior to making any enquiry about the car.

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsi/vsi06.pdf

Please be aware that it is the purchasers responsibility to ensure that the car is suitable for registration in their state, and nothing is implied in this advertisement representing the same.

On a different note, the car is advertised for sale at a fixed price. There is no point in contacting Charles to discuss if you don't have the funds available to purchase the car.

Whilst I wish you ever luck in your endeavours to raise the funds by whatever means you choose, please don't burden us with 100 questions about the car only to advise that you regret that you have no money.

Thanks

Edward
