Documentation
Documentation required by VicRoads as part of the registration application.
- Import approval 4 part document, Part 3 (registering authority’s copy signed by a VASS signatory).
- Current and original Certificate of Roadworthiness.
- Personal Import plate/label must be fitted to the vehicle (yellow colour). A VASS signatory must be contacted to obtain the Personal Import plate/label.
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be stamped on the vehicle.
- VASS approval certificate is only required if converted from left hand drive to right hand drive or otherwise modified.
VASS is the Vehicle Assessment Signatory Scheme.
That just says to ring up a VASS engineer and say "can I please have a Personal Import plate/label"
That bit about "otherwise modified" refers to VSB-14 modifications which you haven't touched. If I was you I'd get the list of VASS engineers and ring each one, explain that you have 199x mini, personal import approval and just need the personal import label. If they want to see the car then fine, let them see the car, it looks standard enough. Open the bonnet and keep your mouth shut about what wasn't there when it was new. Tell them the original motor blew up and you put that one in if you really must, but don't offer any information that isn't asked for.
