Importation of converted vehicles under the pre 1989 scheme

The pre-1989 scheme allows the importation of vehicles into Australia that were manufactured before 1 January 1989. The scheme is outlined under regulation 17 of the Motor Vehicle Standards Regulations 1989.
However, if a vehicle has been modified or converted after original manufacture - so that the vehicle no longer meets original specifications - the date of manufacture is taken to be the later date of conversion.
If the date of conversion is 1 January 1989 or later, the vehicle will not qualify under the pre-1989 scheme. One indication of a vehicle no longer meeting original specifications is where the vehicle acquires a different make, model or category.
To reflect scheme criteria, the Department requests that applicants provide the following supporting documentation with all applications to import vehicles under the pre-1989 scheme: a copy of the purchase document for the vehicle; a photo of the vehicle; and a certified copy of picture ID for the applicant.

Types of vehicle conversions

Vehicle conversions can take different forms. One popular type of conversion is the production of replica cars from components of different makes or models. An example is the conversion of a Volkswagen Beetle into a replica Porsche.
Another popular type of conversion is the assembly of vehicles from different parts to create new types of vehicles. Typical examples include the conversion of a passenger sedan into a drag racing car or a hot rod.
Similarly, scooter frames are sometimes assembled with different engines and electrics to produce new types of scooters. Vehicles can also be modified to change their carrying capacity. An example is the conversion of a Hummer into a stretch Hummer.
The later date of conversion is taken to be the date of manufacture even where the parts used in the assembly are old or used.

Vehicle conversions before 1 January 1989

It is possible for a modified vehicle to qualify under the pre-1989 scheme if the conversion occurred before 1 January 1989. A variety of evidence can potentially be used to establish the date of conversion. This includes vehicle registration documents, a statement from the converter or evidence that the vehicle was exhibited in its converted form (e.g. exhibited as a hot rod) some time before 1989.

Vehicle restorations

On the other hand, a vehicle restoration does not affect the original date of manufacture. For example, an original vehicle may have new paintwork applied, the mechanical components reconditioned or replaced and the interior reupholstered. An example is the restoration of a Model T Ford. Similarly, an original vehicle may be customised (e.g. by unique paintwork) if kept within original specifications
