Hi guys, got my minimatic pretty much finished and ready for the road. My intention is to put the vehicle on club registration. Im a paid up club member, the car has already had an initial roadworthy inspection (and passed) but when I tried to get a unreg permit to drive the car home from the mechanics I was denied. As the car was previously a South Australian car it has never been registered in vic roads. And of course, the sa rego number, engine number and body number on rad shroud, ymas24 etc.. number on the id plate and the number stamped into the fire wall do not appear on vic roads records, so i was told "we will not give you a permit as your car does not exist". Fair enough so I came home and rang up. The lady on the phone was much nicer, so she said "ok" after I produced the permit number of when I got an unreg permit for it two years ago and emailed a new permit straight through to me, but did mention that my car does not exist. So i rang the SA rego dept who confirmed that yes, my matic did have that registration number, no it has not been reported stolen, or anything else sinister but that they only ever recorded the reg number and the body number, that of course does not match any of the numbers provided and he would not disclose the number recorded but suggest that it may have been recorded incorrectly back in '68, so one of the numbers I provided must have been close. The sa rego man advised me to contact the policy. My question is, will getting the vehicle put on club permit still require me to get a police check as normal full registration requires? obviously Vicroads wouldn't normally require to see the vehicle for club plates (well they haven't for our other minis) but do for the full registered 2 we have got. Any advice on what I should do?
Thanks and sorry for the long winded post.
