Glen,

Be aware that your ERA will look very different to those in the US, if you are trying to get full registration. This is due to the need to accommodate for ADRs.

Padded dash,
head rests on seats,
different switches, gauges, & bright work.
high rear stop light,
side indicators,
reverse lights
Plus etc, etc...

I suspect that since you are keen on a ERA289 that you are also keen on the subtle differences in "the look". ADRs could kill "the look" you are hoping for.

Is there are Club-plate scheme in S.A. that may assist you with trying to get the look you want?

Just something to consider....

I wish you the best of luck moving forward with this project.
I'd love to see you manage it!
