It depends on the postcode you live in (due to the 3rd party insurance component). It's $67 for 45days in this area or double for 90days .... which is 1/4 of the "standard" annual full registration which is about $600.Quote:

Not a good example to use. NSW 3rd party insurance (Green Slip) is included in the fee too.Quote:

Permit fees : VicRoads
It also doesn't mention a fee for the plates, are they provided FOC ?

I'm in the process of registering a 'Club' so hopefully all will become clear soon.
Here is another link to the Feral Sports Car Club website. Some of it is politically incorrect so if you are easily offended don't visit the site.

There is no plate fees, no stamp duty, no transfer fees. All I know is dependent on where you live, the cost of car registration can differ by a small amount (full registration). ie: Cars registered in melbourne cost more than ballarat. I assumed it was to do with the 3rd party injury portion of the renewel and the fact your statistically more likely to have an accident if your located in a big city. However your right, it's there in black and white... it's $67 for everyone :) (plus logbook)Quote:

Gee's the scheme is brilliant.

Also mentioned at the MJCQ meeting is Qld Transport idea of the Vic scheme, 45 days no options,and keeping the Rego at $185-225 (commercials) so the winner is Qld Tpt aka can-almost-do Newmann :(
The Breakdown of it is as follows: CTP $ 56.60
Rego Fee. $280.05
Rego Cons. $201.10
Traffic Improvement $ 48.85
Total $184.40
If Paid after Due date upped to $197.75 :eek:
Taken from my current Rego papers for the 2a GS
I don't know what kind of police you had in Victoria when the old scheme was in Shane, but I just asked dad and his dad and none of us have ever been asked anything by the police about driving the historically registered vehicles, not even me on P plates, and technically I can't drive something without a seatbelt! They're usually too busy gawking!
Cheers

As I drove out to Heidelberg early yesterday I saw 3 vehicles on Club permits in the rush hour traffic.Quote:

I am one of 2 Scrutineers for my local car club, the club is a small all breeds classic car, truck and machinery club and we are picky about members catering mainly to like minded people who dont want the hassle of the death by committee Car clubs.
We encourage family to participate and we do all our own scrutineering to a high but common sense standard.
I have 2 cars on 45 day permits and my wife has 2 as well and together there would be 15 log book entries between the 4 cars per year.
Yup, I have seen VB SL commodores on club plates and sure they looked their age and this made me cringe but if thats what the person wants then so be it.
Every 12 months when the renewal comes in we go over the club cars and do a shakedown run with one of us in the passenger seat.
I have knocked 2 cars since the permit system was in operation and both were honest mistakes on the part of the owner and quickly rectified.
The system is self governing, it works and should be left that way.
My club cars are registered and fully comp insured for under $200 per year which has to be a good thing considering the number of uninsured cars on the roads, I enjoy them, my kids enjoy them and my wife gets to have a toy too!
A couple in the club I'm involved with have been pulled over for driving around mid-week. Luckily it was legit & they were on their way to their mechanic, and the police checked the story too.Quote:
