Title: To all NSW registered reeks Post by: ireek on Saturday, 14 January, 2012, 05:32:28 AM HI, my car was registered as a VW coup but now is registered as Purvis Eureka. If at the RTA the make is Purvis and model is Eureka. They will not find it under Volkswagon as they have Purvis listed as its own make. This may help people with new or existing rego to have them classified as correct.

Mine is registered as a VW coupe. Did it cost you anything to change it over? Did you have to take it over the pits? And is there any benefit of changing it to a Purvis Eureka on the rego papers?

Looking forward to getting together again at the nats. we all live so faraway. when i built my car back in 1980, the papers said purvis eureka,then about 5 years later they changed it.to vw sedan. then 10 years after that thay changed it to vw beetle. a few years ago i went in and asked them to get it right.told me i would have to take it to an engineer to get it changed. I told them #%&@$*. i think this shows how good there records are, NOT. So the moto of the story is , i drive a convertable, and it can be anything i want it to be.

I have mine on club rego now so it was just like rego renewal. It was just plain luck to get the lady I did as I had asked before to have it changed and the other lady wasnt interested. The advantage now is if you want it changed you know how to find it in their computer. If you didnt do it at rego I suppose they may charge I think $18 to reprint your papers.so Make : Purvis Model : Eureka sports : Eureka PL30 : Eureka F4 Anthony Title: Re: To all NSW registered reeks Post by: WYKED1 on Tuesday, 17 January, 2012, 09:30:59 AM Thats excellent Anthony
that only adds value to our cars when they get recognition from the gov regards James |
