Do you still have the papers for it? As to get it registered in SA I would need them if get this car from you. Don't know about the cage if it can be registered here.

Yes. PM or call for more details if interested.

From my research it is nor registerable in any Australian state with a cage where any section is in front of the rear of the drivers seat. My modification engineer has advised me that the rules for modified vehicles are now the same throughout Australia and thyat the only differences are in interpretation and application of the rules. Whilst it is registered in Victoria, registration could probably be renewed there (on a hush hush basis) as the car was engineered in Victoria without a cage and to the best of my knowledge there are still no annual inspections for registration renewals in Victoria. Any transfer of the registration to a new owner would require a roadworthy certificate which would not be legally obtainable for a vehicle with a full weld in roll cage.

Roll cages

Due to the increased risk of occupant injury in vehicle accidents, fitting full roll cages is not permitted. However, fitting a half roll cage rearward of the driver may be acceptable providing that:

• no part of the roll cage can be contacted by vehicle occupants when positioned in their normal seating position
• the roll cage is at least 150 millimetres behind the front seat occupants when the front seats are located in the most rearward adjusted position
• all rear seats and seat belt assemblies fitted in the rear compartment are removed
• the operation and effectiveness of the front seat belt assemblies is not affected in any way by the roll cage
• no person travels in the rear of the vehicle at any time
• the vehicle has a seating inspection carried out by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure.

Last time I look into to it. I think if you are car club member with a log book you can use the car to drive to tarmac rallies, hill climbs etc. 

I think it depends on the state and their registration scheme.  Last time I looked in Qld concessional rallying rego was only available for complianced import vehicles, and i'm not sure whether this extended to vehicles already complianced and registered or new imports only.
 
In Qld a 6point weld in cage has been unregisterable (aside from concessional rally rego) since NCOP was adopted in mid/late 2013.  One way around a full cage is a 4point rear welded cage welded with bolt in A pillar bars (and bolt in side intrusion if desired), however I have no idea if this CAMS approved and obviously the bolt-in bits would need to be stored (or transported on roof racks) while driving on public roads.
 
 
All that said, it would be great to buy this car & engine as a package as in person it looked very clean and well built!

Needs a current CAMS logbook and you need to hold a National Rally Licence (which requires Observed Licence Tests) and use of the vehicle is quite restricted and I think you would be hard pressed getting away with driving to a trackday or hill climb. Not certain but a CAMS approved roll cage for two occupants probably also required. Perhaps those more familiar with rally requirements can help us out here.

damn, I think I may have to just call off my wedding so that I can buy this!

I'm surprised this hasn't sold already, if I didn't have expenses I would have snapped this up straight away. Good luck with the sale lucas

Change of Plans:
The last 48 hours made me realise I’m throwing this away.
This will be swapped into a registered car and then put up for sale.

Well - that hardtop chassis can still be registered can't it?  

How much will you be chasing for it once swapped into rego chasis and what condition is the chasis in? Cheers.
