In my book this cobra should had failed the registration/ADR requirement.
The ADR3-03 came into effect 2006 -23/01/2007 and pounds to peanuts all Superpermance Cobras have the traditional seats.
This Federal Law seems to be farcical just like the importation of so called modified cars into the country.
You'll probably find that this car is being offered for sale with ACT registration and roadworthy certificate. The engineering papers won't be a factor in transferring it to another party in that state/territory, just like any other fully registered vehicle.

There's also a photo in that listing showing holes in the top of the seats for head restraints to be inserted. Who knows, those seats may have been supplied by one of the local kit manufacturers and therefore meet our requirements.

Also, ADR 3/03 was not enforced until June last year. Although it was announced 3 years earlier there is always a grace period.
