Patrol Registration Category in NSW

I went today and got a blue slip for my 2009 ST Patrol because I bought it in Queensland and therefore have to do a complete new registration into NSW
When I read the blue slip, I found what I thought was amusing.
The classification of the car is not "Wagon" like it used to be but ........ "Panel van with windows and seats"
I queried the mechanic who did the blue slip and he said "this is the way they come up"
Later in the day, I spoke with the RTA and they confirmed it as being correct. They said this was the classification Nissan applied for when they first brought in this year/model

Has anyone else seen this?

Wonder Nissan did not rename it the 'Sandman' at the same time.

I suspect the person I spoke with at the RTA wasn't entirely correct. I thought the ADRs and registration classifications were a Federal matter. Anyhow, makes no difference to me. Always wanted a panel van ;)

Our 06 is due for rego and just looked at the papers, it has the code PVF for shape. So guessing that is Panel Van, don't know what the F is.

Lemo.

PVF is Panel Van Four Wheel Drive.
PVS is Panel Van Seats and Windows. vehicle has no 4wd capability.

Could work to your advantage if you were ever in court.:smiley_thumbs_up:

Ahhh, The Sandman Panelvan (has a nice ring to it, hey) I heard you could only use paraffin wax on them.
:cheers:

Wish I knew this the other day when I was stopped by one of now finest because the tint on my back windows is to dark.
He even said would be ok if it was a panel van but passenger vehicles have to minimum 35% vlt

RTA or RMS (whatever they call themselves these days)
