Okay! Ship the car to you, you pull all the goodies and install on your car. Great plan.
But I won't live long enough to build another judging from how long it took to build this one.
Converting to Right Hand drive will be a total PITA. I don't think I'd bother to bring it if that were the case. But I'd have to give a great deal of thought before I finally decide.
I do have the Butler Racing Manufacturers Certificate of Origin showing the manufacture date as July 1986. This makes it more than the 15 year age if it is an acceptable document.
The vehicle is Titled in Illinois with the VIN number BRI786042
Year is shown as: 1965. Make is shown as: AC. Some how they missed the word Cobra. Fecking! State department cannot ever do anything right. I may have to go back and have them change the Title if it becomes a legal issue. Unless they looked up president and think it is actually mace by Auto Carriage the maker of the AC Bristol. But who knows what they were not thinking.
By the time I actually make it to Perth I would have driven the car for over a year so no problem with that. It is coming to terms with the 15 year age to keep it Left Hand Drive.
I'll send copied of the paper work to family in Perth and have them actually go to the authorities and speak to a real English speaking person and get some facts.
Thanks for the lengthy PM you sent with the facts. I've read through the forms and I have some questions which I'll ask for your input later on.
Thanks, Arthur
