Thanks for highlighting that, Tony. I’m in Adelaide, South Australia. Things are a little different here.
Some background on what I have to work with…
Cobra “replica” builds here (South Australia) come under the classification of “Individually Constructed Vehicles” (ICVs).
We do actually have many concessions for ICVs compared to new vehicles (no air bags etc), but there are some requirements that are harder to reconcile if you’re trying to build something that looks period correct. Engines only have to comply with emission standards phased into Australia between 1997-1999; also compliant are post-1990 engines imported from the States.
This means that my 302 Windsor, factory built by Tickford in Melbourne in 2001, has to retain its "Synergy 5000" EFI, the appearance of which only its mother could love...
I should point out also that any engine sold new in a car since late ‘90s is legal to fit here.
An unobtrusive reversing light should be a breeze
Cheers, and stay safe, friends
