When I got my Van, Vic Roads gave me the figures to crunch and the Sandman was legal to drive on my P's with a 5.0 litre. At least according to them...
When I was growin up as a P plater you could drive a 253 but not the 308. Orm so the RTA (then) Told me.
Same, but apparently the vans wieghed that little bit extra and it snuck it. Although, I'm not much chop with mathematics and if I got busted... back then it had chrome 253 rocker covers on it. I was young, I figured it had to work
When I was a red P plater I legally owned and drove a 350 tonner and didn't display my P's...

My Sandman was my P-plate machine. And L-plate come to think of it. Although I used dad's Mazda E1800 to do my test in as a windowless non power steer panelvan isn't the ideal thing to pass a reverse parallel park test in.
never been a problem in WA!! The only issue with a 5L @ 17 was the fuel bill :(
