Calling NSW Troopy owners!

Be glad it's not shown as a troop carrier or you would be classed as a bus & need quartly rego inspections & dearer rego & green slip insurance.

if i remember correctly, my bj70 swb was considered a hard top, but i think the troopy's are concidered ute, but i could be wrong

just my 2 cents worth

Mine is registered in VIC where it is classed as a 7 seater station wagon

In queensland its a minibus.

I live in Victoria and have owned 5 75 series troopies over the last 15 years. 2 were 3 seaters and were registered as utes, 2 of them were 11 seaters and were registered as a bus and one 6 seater RV was registered as a Station wagon. Just depended on the seating arrangements. It didnt make any difference to registration costs or insurance costs either as I just told th einsurance company that they were toyota landcruiser troop carrier long wheel base vehicles.

I had a 3 seater and a 6 seater, both were registered as 'panel van with windows and seats' code PVF in NSW.
For green slip and ins they were classed as station wagon's

dear jeff
i was at my local rta registry at penrith, the lady behind the counter saw on the rego papers that the shape was classed as sbs and that a rta inspection would be needed. she then gave me a list of blue slip inspection stations. for details of stations outside the penrith area call 132213.the mechanic i went to changed the seating capacity from 11 seats to 3 seats, he also changed the adr code to mc and the shape code to pvf. i hope this answers your questions. regards greyemu

Thanks for the input everyone, I got an "adjustment of records" blue slip done today ( $20.50 ) and got the body shape changed from ute to pvf. Peter
