QuoteConsultation has opened on reducing the frequency of safety inspections for vintage cars, vintage motorbikes and motorhomes.
The proposal would see WoF checks for vintage and veteran vehicles over 40 years old change from every six months to every 12 months, and see CoF checks for privately owned heavy motorhomes also change by the same time period.
Transport Minister Chris Bishop has said the change will strike the right balance between safety and over-compliance.
Earlier this month, 1News reported the change would impact 128,000 vehicles and 39,000 motorhomes.
In 2014, the law changed so people who owned cars made in 2000 or subsequent years only had to get them warranted once per year. Older cars continued to have to be warranted twice a year

A few years ago possibly 10
There were the Iranian 1700cc stroker kits on offer and aluminium cylinder heads
Did anyone use them to success ?
And if so who, what, where and are they still available?

Last post by JoKer - December 28, 2024, 12:15:36 PMoooh 5k? I've seen them listed and sell for around 8k?
Hard to say really, seems they are becoming rather desirable again
easier to come down than kick yourself for starting too low if you're patient?

Last post by Brahmmie - December 27, 2024, 08:13:48 PMHey just looking at selling my avenger and wondering what price everyone thinks it's worth.
Or if someone is looking at picking up an avenger.
Hasent had a wof for a year or so and isent getting the life it deserves.
I drove it as my everyday car for a year and absolutely loved it. But have recently brought a house and priority's are changing.
Just recently had all the carpet pulled out and the floor rust protected. Then rubber paint. Then sound proofing and new carpet which gave the car much needed new life to 40 year old carpet 😆
