Did you know...

[Richard Deakin]

...that in the year to 30th June 2004 the LTSA granted 502 exemptions to the Frontal Impact requirement for imported vehicles?

Wanna take a wild stab at how many of them were Tivvers?

[Richard Deakin]

George - funny you should ask that, I was going to offer a mouldy mince and cheese pie for the first correct answer.

From a constructive point of view, though, this should give your lawyer some leverage shouldn't it?-and if you win-there's the precedent. Or have I got my rose tinties on again?

They wouldnt happen to mostly be pre 96 4WDs would they?

[Richard Deakin]

Unfortunately there's no break down of the stats so I can't tell what sort of vehicles they are. Why would pre96 4WDs be a special case?

Hey Richard.... if the NZ Gazette was able to get the stats, they may have gotten a total itemised breakdown from the LTSA but just not had the time to publish it.... may be worth asking them and having a yarn to them.... if not they might be able to connect you with the right person at the LTSA to help..... anything to try and find some chink in the armour that might help getting Tivs into NZ
