It's not a pixie. -
Can anyone remember whether the Aussie Cortina sixes had Falcon brakes fitted? Uncle had a Mk4 4.1 Ghia back in the day. Fairly sure he said there was a lot of Falcon stuff in it.

You need some Ronal Teddybears mate. Not sure if they were ever made in 4x98 though.

Welcome aboard. A fellow I knew in Northland in the 80s succeeded in putting a 302 into a Mk3 Cortina. Not sure now whether a Windsor or a Cleveland or what transmission he used, probably an automatic of some description. The rules were very different then so definitely read the LVV Manual before you get too deep into it. Best of luck. https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/89804-mahaway’s-mk3-cortina-restoration/

I suspect that governments of various flavours are far more interested in the tax they can levy on new vehicle sales than the other things you mention. Politicians will bleat about safety and the environment and some of them might even believe their own propaganda but really it's all about the money.

I should think they would need to.

Not convinced this is a good idea. Time almost up for WoF and Rego stickers on our windscreens (1news.co.nz)

I was once a passenger in a Humber 80 with the speedo needle past the fuel gauge. Anybody's guess how (in)accurate it was but it felt stupidly fast.

What's the go when a car with a cert gets new numberplates? Not when the plates it had when it got the cert have lapsed but if it gets changed to/from a personalised plate. Saw a car on the tard this morning that has a cert for seatbelt mounts but the personalised plate rego on the cert plate doesn't match the personalised plates on the car. The ad goes on to say that the plates on the car don't go with it and that it will have a standard issue plate at time of sale. Is the cert still legal or does it technically need to be redone with the new rego number even if nothing else has been changed?

Can sketch that up on cad when I'm back in the office tomorrow if you like. Only take a few minutes. Don't let me forget. Keen to see that Triumph finished.

I'm just imagining the look of incredulity on the traffic cop's face when you roll through a checkpoint on that thing.

Mindless automatons many of them.
-
You can guarantee that'll be a fuck up too.
-
Where, and how, would you draw the line? Limited annual mileage traveled or some other criteria?
-
As stated previously I do not believe this is a good idea.
-
I do not believe so but the opinions of others may vary widely. As stated previously the UK regime of annual inspection for all seems to work quite well.

Many of us daily our old cars.

Four months to Hanmeet Alex. No pressure. -
That was my first thought too. Thieving roguing bastards.

Is there any engineering benefit to the use of TTY bolts?
-
If little kids def agree don't bring them but thought if late teens they might be okay.

How old are they? Could you bring them?
