The National Code states the cut-off for builders assembling ICV's is no more than 3 vehicles per year. It can be the kit manufacturer or a 3rd party. But each state has it's own views on that regulation, some restrict you to only one kit a year. So you need to contact the local transport authority for clarification. It certainly isn't something that the transport authorities encourage, but by the same token the authorities can not discriminate either against an individual who does not have the capability to build there own. I know I have been approached by a physically disabled person looking to own an ICV built to their own specification. Now what do you do then.

Merv, the decision to go low volume path is a complex one. I think you need the right platform to do so. But it does have it's advantages. I've certainly considered the implications, but at the moment I would prefer to just sell kits.
