tomo Posted 24April, 2020 Report Share Posted 24April, 2020 Our club works on a points system, Each meeting is worth 2 points Agm is 5, You need a total of of 20 to qualify for a club pemit. And that covers old motor homes, pretty well anything on four wheels if it meets the 25 year thingy but you must have a current RWC to get your plates.

There was a guy on NZ ebay that could make anything for you - that you couldn't get here. But anyway it doesnt look too bad IMO. itsujack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to agree to disagree then .. 🙂 You can't offer a broad registration scheme then cherry pick what qualifies and what doesn't ... the rulings are for cars over 25 / 30 years old .. if a Honda Accord or a Commodore fall in this range, so be it ... I reckon they are more likely to pull the scheme due to day trips not being recorded .. moosey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doish13 Posted 27May, 2020 Report Share Posted 27May, 2020 Thanks mate that’s a good link though I have my wires crossed. Was look to see what happened to the petition to keep normal plates in NSW on Historic rego so we don’t have stick them purple and white plates on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchanan Automotive Posted 27May, 2020 Report Share Posted 27May, 2020 I can tell you from a contact inside Services they were pretty pissed about it. Seems they made the scheme possible and damm cheap and accessible only for some owners to start demanding nice plates back on their cars. From what i heard someone in there thought about dropping the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep and maintain a number of historic cars, don't abuse the system (many do) and am very grateful that NSW finally followed the lead of SA and Vic. I appreciate being able to use my cars if I choose and there's no way that I can manage to use the 60 days that the log book allows. Although I try. The system encourages people to retain and preserve vehicles that one day will become important to have preserved.

From what i heard someone in there thought about dropping the whole thing. I'm a NSW bureaucrat (environmental) and deal with these sorts of petitions pretty regularly. In truth many petitions or individual proposals are not without merit and we often take on ideas or suggestions from stakeholders and the general public. It can be annoying that the public doesn't realise just how much work and effort goes into pleasing as many people as possible. But to get pissed at these sorts of things is lame, as ultimately the bureaucratic machinery and the public's expectations are what keeps me and my kind employed I'm also an ex Qld resident where I enjoyed their system that allows personalised plates to be displayed in combination with club rego. There is absolutely no reason NSW cannot do the same thing now - nearly every traffic camera and police car can identify the registration status of a vehicle so you'll only get away with rorting the scheme for so long. It's a pretty easy project for someone in RMS to take on... Especially if some extra charges can be tacked on itsujack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Carrera Posted 3June, 2020 Report Share Posted 3June, 2020 I feel very lucky in Queensland we can forgo the classic plate for a normal personalised plate and the rules have been relaxed so you can use the car a lot more than before by just posting your trip on the car club Facebook page which makes it a club event, only one car required. social club membership $10 p/a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcop Posted 6June, 2020 Report Share Posted 6June, 2020 Can anyone offer advice on car club membership for the purposes of historic rego in NSW? I'm still hunting another set of wheels, but it's likely anything I buy will be +30yrs and eligible for historic rego in NSW (and I genuinely will be using only as a weekend car). I'm looking for a suitable club on the Mid-North Coast (down to Newcastle) which meets the club requirements and can sponsor the registration. My first thought was the PCNSW, but I'll have so little to do with it as a member I thought there might be something a bit more suitable? I used to belong to a Marque Sports Car club in Townsville years ago - cheap, cheerful, and none of the bourgeoisie politics later endured with PCQ in Brisbane just for cheap rego.

Gavn Posted 6June, 2020 Report Share Posted 6June, 2020 Try the classic sports car club part of ARDC (out of SMSP). I used them for a 55 beetle a while back & found them very helpful. No dramas or hassles & a bunch of membership benefits. Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcop Posted 20June, 2020 Report Share Posted 20June, 2020 Got mine onto historic plates through the local heritage car club today. Plates are both ugly and inconveniently sized as advised... I grabbed some expanded foam acrylic board and made normal sized bases to mount the new plates. It'll do. SteveF and firstone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
