I'm pretty sure that the car was "viewed" at a local show close to me. What probably compounded the issue was that his pipework was plasted over the local rag the week after the show.

All it could of taken was for an "official" to look at the pic and thereafter the letter appeared.

Personally, I didn't see an issue with the car from a legality point of view (it would have passed a coke can test, the tyres were good and the dials all worked

The Ford Day in Geelong last year saw a few people receive notices to produce cars for inspection. One that I know of was only out at that event for the year....and trailered there as it was missing a gearbox..

Hey guys,
Morning Bernie or I guess evening for you. I read from PCC below "the Coke Can test" . For those on the other side of the big pond what the heck is the Coke Can Test?
When a guy gets the dreaded letter I would guess you have X amount of days to present the car for re-inspection. Do they tell you what they feel may be wrong and test only that or is a full new inspection? Could you inspect yourself before they saw it again?
Thanks Jeff C

Jeff,

A coke can test can be used to check your under belly clearance i.e 100mm or 4 inches. If it doesn't fit then you can be defected.
