Default Transport Dept and Registration

Can I ask if anyone else has been through similar in registering a blitz that has possibly only war history, no current / recent rego papers. What were the sort of issues you encountered, had to produce to get registration? I have noticed a bloke in Hervey Bay who has a blitz currently registered as commercial vehicle and thought I would ask here first before talking to a local club.
I called QLD Transport and they want to see any history, how was it brought into Aus and registered or import papers.
Engineer has no issues with what I am doing as most don't need to comply with ADR rules (1972 onwards). He did say it's the oldest vehicle he will engineer, not to sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Until you locate the chassis number, or most of it, there is probably not a lot of point in sending people to the AWM, and even then, the Army registration (ARN) books are viewable on line, as are many images from the AWM image collection. You can browse these from your desk at home.

There is another thread on this forum about the ARN books.

Long time since I did a rego in Oz, so I can't help you there.

Mike

Default AWM Research Centre

Thanks for the info Mike, I have found where they exist and have spent the last 2 weeks looking through each book page by page and line by line. Unfortunately I have not found the engine number and as I don't have the full original chassis number it is getting a little harder. I did find that one of the AWM volumes was incomplete and only can download 50 pages of a 300 page document. The AWM is currently looking into this and I am crossing my fingers it may show something.
The numbers are so close but it was quite exciting searching through. The AIF had quite a few BSA, Harley Davidson, Indian and even noticed quite a few Scooters on the list. These must have been for the good fuel economy and quick get away.
Will keep searching and hopefully find something.
