How Can some Street Rods get full NSW Rego?

Outwest34au, keep in mind this issue does not only effect Baz. It effects every ICV builder in NSW at present. Eventually it may well effect builders in all states.

But you also raise a point that needed examination back 5 years ago and requires close scrutiny now.

Ignore standards, ignore various ADR's, ignore the technical arguments for a moment. These issues come at a later point.

Legislation, read laws, are supposed to be consistant. The authorities are obliged to ensure their actions and administration of laws are fair and consistant.

But exactly why does a cobra fit a classification of ICV?. How can a hot rod be classed as a hot rod when in essence it is a home built vehicle just like a cobra. How come a trike can be registered with a chrome and polished VW engine hanging out the back which has no hope of emission compliance.

This was exactly Johns argument. From a bureaucratic point of view, what aspects are so different that the authorities class it as an ICV and how does it differ so much from these other modes of transport to cause that to happen?. It's not a matter of joining the hot rod scheme, it is a question of definition by the authorities.

This primarily is the question. Park a Cobra, a chopped and channel 32 ford rod, and a high powered trike in a car park and have the authorities answer why the cobra is handled differently for registration.
