I think you are right Kevin. As these cars progress and become more sophisticated - less use of donor parts - in each country they become more alike in many ways, especially in suspension design, the ladder chassis of the old Dax for example, may be less likely to meet SVA requirements in the UK in the future.

Tenrocca, that is too simple. What differs is that the Australian made/supplied products often have not only torsion/stiffness testing but also approved seat belt anchorages, swerve testing, seat mountings and so on. At least mine came with a whole set of copies of official documents that made my job and that of the engineer easier and a great deal cheaper for me.
