doesn't that make most all Escorts unroadworthy

LOL^^ nearly.

Rego's about $600 a year, that includes compulsary 3rd party insurance. Extra cover insurance (3rd party fire & theft) is about $250 a year. In Qld you have to get a road worthy certificate if the vehicle changes hands, otherwise just keep renewing rego= no inspections.

I choose to use premium aswell, Vortex 95. It's meant to have no additives and 95 will run the best whatever state of tune the engine is in [(#)]

What model Escort is it? It looks like a Ghia, 1600? To gain Classic insurance and cheaper rego, I'm sure the car has to be a recognised Classic, not a standard run of the mill Escort.
Mind you some Holden people are running their Commodores on classic plates, how they do it is beyond me!
