Gents,

It's a mammoth thread, and I'm going to step back a couple of pages. From the department of Infrastructure's RVCS website, comes this little gem:

6.3 Replica: A vehicle that has a similar Make and/or Model name and/or the appearance of another Model in order to gain a marketing position based on that similarity. Typical examples are “AC Cobra”, “Lotus Seven” and “Jaguar XJ13”.

This gives you the opportunity to register as a low volume manufacturer and get federally legislated exemptions for one or two very insignificant things. But I'd advise you to read up on the circulars on the RVCS website / SEVS register website, they're surprisingly useful.

As for the UK IVA scheme, it ain't all roses, but at the same time, it is a lot more coherent than what we currently have in NSW. In fact, if you're diligent enough to review the UNECE regs that nearly all of the ADR's are equivalent to, you can all but use the IVA manual as a substitute for Australia. Find it on google, it makes a lot of stuff much easier to interpret than the legalese of the ADR's.
