High Powered Vehicle Exemption for Mini Cooper S Hello, So about a year ago i managed to buy a 2003 mini cooper s, everything was all good and well until someone asked me if it was legal to drive and i was all like "yeah, i checked the SA rules and it said approved on car sales" (from which i bought the car here is a link to the same make www.carsales.com.au/private/details/MINI-hatch-2002/SSE-AD-4432974/?Cr=3). they then said that that 130 kw rule only applys to cars after 2010 and said that the rules before 2010 are no super or turbo chargers. later i researched the statement that he made and it was true. trying to not worry ab out it too much after approximately a year after i knew this i got my p's which brings me here. so for those that don't know the 2003 Mini Cooper S is a Supercharged car that outputs 120kw or around 105kw per tonne making it very much under the limit if it were to be applied to the after 2010 rules. in my family all the cars are "high powered" with the exeption of my brothers car a ford fiesta. even if i wanted to drive this he wouldn't want me to, its not insured under my name and he uses it for work every day, also not to mention he is also still on his p's.both my car and his car is under our mothers name as we did not have the full money to pay for the cars. So i have written an exemption form before and sent it off to the rego but in the exemption form i didn't state that my brothers car was used every day and was unavailable to me so that one was denied. I have now written another one (this will be attached) can you guys tell me how likely i would be to get this approved Kind Regards, Dylan Exemption Form done.docx
