So a fair amount of work required to comply these things in Australia, not to mention Tail Lights, Head Lights, Clearance Lights, Seatbelts........

I'm sure you find it all worthwhile now that it's done.

It's a beautiful example of a Crown Royale. I think I've stumbled across photos of the right hand drive being done...

In an earlier post on this thread I noticed that a poster stated that he thought a vintage vehicle was a Model T. I thought I would post a picture of my 1995 Rexhall Aerbus with my 1925 Model T Touring. Yes we do take a Model T with us on some of our travels.

Thanks John and Castrol, a lot of work but certainly worth it and thankfully haven't over capitilised. Even after converting, shipping and complying for our laws, it is worth a lot more here than what it owes me.
Our market is small and very over priced.

But you've got a few vehicles available there not available to us, like some of those cool "Utes".

Di you see my '23 Touring? Have no fear...no real Model T's were harmed in its building. And, if worse came to worst, it had enough power to tow the Trek.
Now I have a 1926 Model T Tudor Sedan. Real T body and frame, much modified. Judging by the patches I see from inside the doors, there wasn't a lot of pristine metal on it before it was rebuilt.

True Jay, but our market is poor and local manufacturers are bugging out, including Holden (GMH) and Ford, who make these Cool Utes, so within 2 years these guys will be gone as local manufacturers.
It should mean we'll hopefully get some US products in Right Hand Drive as I understand these manufacturers are forming Global platforms. There's still a heap of petrol heads here who want V8 Rear Wheel Drive vehicles, including myself. My current vehicle is basically the last built by "Ford Perfomance Vehicles" here, Ford Falcon GT Sedan with a US supplied 5.0 litre Aluminium V8, Modified and with a Supercharger added.
