Col, Here in Victoria, a vehicle on either full or concessional registration does not have to have anything which was not an original fitting. That means it does not need electric lights, stoplights, indicators, seatbelts, windscreen wipers or washers or anything else if they were not designed to have them. But, if they have been fitted at a later date, then that item must work. Nothing has been made retrospective back to the beginning of the automobile age.

Having said that we are fighting the authorities over the recently introduced Child Restraint rules where NO child under the age of 7 can be carried in a vehicle not fitted with the correct for age child restraint.This is an Australia wide ruling. All states and territories have their own slant on what are supposed to be an Australian wide ruling.

The Association of Motoring Clubs (AOMC Inc) and others are working to get the ruling made retrospective from a date where seatbelts were made compulsory in all new cars. Therefore allowing the older vehicles to be left original if the owner wants it that way.

So you realize that this means no kids under 7 in any jeeps or any other vehicles unless the law is changed.

Regards Rick.
