Hello from New Zealand

[PeterG]

Will Tornedo let you return the Kit if it cant be LVVTA certified and have they given you any assurances that It will be able to be registered for use on the roads in New Zealand. There are about 20 GT40 kits in New Zealand that are not and probably cant be certifed. Having imported kits from the UK and Australia make sure all your ducks are in a row before you hand over your money.

Thanks for all of the information, looks like I’m in for a bit of a bumpy journey.
The local certifier has already said he is not interested in certifying the car because it has fibreglass panels.
I will keep you posted.

Hi there Gary,
Just wondering how you are getting on? I am looking to do a GT40 soon and the Tornado is at the top of my list currently. Based in Auckland but have family in Central Hawkes Bay

Hi Ryan
I have been impressed with the Tornado kit and also the support from Tornado.
I have had to make a few changes to some parts to get design approval in NZ.
That aside, the build is progressing really well.
