when you can totally refute my claims with paperwork that is readable by the layman then come back and start another thread..
like i have always said it isnt a numbers correct sandman anymore by way of change of chassis which as the paperwork says makes it loose its original identity legally..
no matter how you may interpret the rta paperwork its just straight black and white to my original argument that once the chassis is changed the vehicle takes on the identity of the new chassis number..
I didnt have time to digest the document this morning and now I am home and have had some time to look at it.
Firstly it says this...

"Note: The compliance plate where fitted will be disregarded and the vehicle will be considered a
“vehicle without a compliance plate” if:
• the identifying number on the compliance plate does not match the chassis number or the
vehicle identification number (VIN) stamped on the vehicle."

So the vehicle falls into the "vehicle without a compliance plate" category.
I wont post the entire section but in will summerise for those people that dont want to spend 1/2 an hour reading a bunch of dull text.
It goes on about what you need to do and provide to register it.
Proof of previous rego, ownership and the like.

Are we even reading the same document?
please cut and paste the line that states this?

Lets just recap what it is we are debating
You claim "The chassis has been changed so the vehicle is no longer a Sandman!
To back this up you claim "The Vehicle that receives the new chassis retains the identity of the vehicle that the replacement chassis came from.
And then you stated this was law.

Can you please enlighten me to any section that states that.......
The vehicles identity from the donor chassis will be amended to the "registrable vehicle", including its Model designation (The sandman title that you claim is now gone)
or
The identity of the registrable vehicle is to be obliterated including its Model designation (The sandman title that you claim is now gone)

Until you can provide a document that states this and that it leaves no room for interpretation, I will continue to disagree.
This document says nothing that backs up your claims. It just talks about the ADR's, what you need to do to make it comply and the proof you need to provide of ownership to register it. If you feel that a vehicle looses its model designation because it has no ADR plate can you please provide some details of this?

I understand what you are trying to say but to me it looks like you are confusing legal details of identifying a registrable vehicle as being unique and complying with a standard with the allege-ability of being a collectable vehicle.
I know and agree that a Sandman with a chassis swap is not as collectable as a 100% Sandman but it is still a Sandman.

If the statement
"A Sandman with a chassis swap is legally no longer a Sandman" it would also be logical that the statement...
"A Belmont with a chassis swap is legally no longer a Belmont" or
"A Statesman with a chassis swap is legally no longer a Statesman"

This is the statement we are debating. The model designation of the vehicle has nothing to do the registration that you want to put on it and have it accepted on the road as a "Registrable Vehicle". The model designation of a registrable vehicle is what makes it collectable! Not a legal entity.

I have asked this question before with no reply so I will ask it again
If a vehicle with a chassis swap is legally no longer a Sandman by your definition! What is it? A black and gold generic vehicle with no name?

I feel that I have now put a strong case forward and do not have the time to spend continuing to get some proof from you. I have left the ball in your court to provide the proof of these claims. So far, I feel this has not been done.

I do however, request that you be a little more tactful when commenting on other peoples cars, possessions etc. Especially younger and newer members. This is what has provoked me to try and get you to provide the proof to your claims. Crusty old members like me that have some some life experience dealing with people don't let stuff like this bother us, but a young kid just out of school?
