a the value of the vehicle;

b the likely financial and other effects on the offender of the making of the order (taken together with any other order that the court contemplates making);

c the offender's need to use the vehicle for lawful purposes;

d whether, in a case where it appears to the court that the offender is engaged in a business which consists wholly or partly in activities which are unlawful by virtue of section 33 above, the making of the order is likely to inhibit the offender from engaging in further such activities.

9 For the purposes of this section, where a vehicle or its contents have been seized under section 34B below in connection with the offence referred to in subsection (1) above, any transfer by the offender after the seizure and before his conviction of any of his rights in the vehicle or its contents is of no effect.
