NSW Blue slip.. No compliance plate ... import

Im sure im in for some RMS blue slip pain, so any tips, tricks or recommendations would be appreciated!
Just purchased a 75 Beetle convertible Registered in WA
Car has no compliance plate that I can see
Has an American compliance sticker on the LH pillar with a VIN number on it
Car was restored 10 years ago and had a new pan with a different number... vin on the pan matches the one on WA rego papers!
Do Older Bugs actually need a Compliance plate?
Cheers in advance

I bought a VW years ago from Canberra and had to register it in NSW
It was a 1975 and no compliance. It was lost in a respray

Blue slip person said I needed a VIIU inspection

When I went to RTA to book one they told me to "piss off"
They rang up the inspector and told him to pull his head in.

I went back and got my blue slip and went back and got my plates.

All depends on the day i reckon

Technically you DO need the compliance plate but not the end of the world if you dont

When you say convertible to you mean CHOP TOP or a KARMANN Original

Take the old papers with you

Karmann
Was a US car... converted to rhd in the UK in the 90s and imported into WA in 2000 from the uk

wouldn't you need the engineer certificate for the conversion?

No, cabrios never had them. Compliance plates are just an Aussie thing.

Beautiful car - congrats 👍

Best of luck
