One guy had his Mini refused rego by VicRoads because a Dodge with the same chassis number was reported stolen ten years before!!
As if you could rebirth a Dodge into a Mini shell.
My Mini Van is registered as a 1970 Morris Coupe, cos the bimbo behind the counter decided that "all panel vans have doors on the sides". I asked her what she would register a HQ Panel Van as, and she just looked at me blankly. So I showed her the old rego label had "P/VAN" on it, but she wouldn't budge.
Similarly a mate's 1996 TD2000 replica MG roadster is registered as a 1996 TD Sedan. It has two seats, two doors, not boot and no roof!
