NSW Classic/Historic Registration Scheme - Club Affiliation.

**101RRS** · 25th October 2017, 03:29 PM

I am in the ACT and to get one of the various classes of Historic Registration you need to be a financial member of a recognised car club that is affiliated with the Council of ACT Motor Clubs.

I have been looking at the NSW rules and having some problem working through the documents on the various sites.

So, to be eligible for one of the various classes of Historic/Registration in NSW, I assume you have to be a financial member of a car Club. Now does that Club have to affiliated with a central body like the Council of Motor Clubs or can you bypass the CMC as long as your Club is registered with RMC?

Likewise if like the ACT your club has to be affiliated with a central body, in NSW is this just the CMC or are there other recognised central bodies?

Only after information on NSW not other State's processes.

Thanks

Garry

Hi Garry

In NSW for the Historic Vehicle Scheme you have to be a member of a club that is approved by the RMS and that includes the ACT car clubs. Your approved club doesn't have to be a member of the Council of Motoring Clubs NSW (CMC) or the Council of Heritage Motoring Clubs NSW (Bush Council).

For the Classic Vehicle Scheme you have to be a member of a club that is affiliated with the CMC, Street Rods asn, 4WD NSW and ACT, Council of ACT Motoring Clubs etc that are affiliated with the ACMC. And some other peak motoring bodies.

A couple of more questions if I may on both the NSW and Vic schemes.

NSW - 60 day log book scheme (trial to be extended another 2 years) - please confirm that this trial allows 60 days use of the vehicle for any purpose and that the 60 days is inclusive of Club events? There seems to be a bit of confusion on this last bit as the NSW Minister in a recent interview said it was 60 days exclusive of Club events so you could use your car for 60days and if there were another 15 days for Club use this meant you were OK for 45 days a year.

Also after the trial - assuming the log book scheme is introduced - will the old CVS scheme still be offered as an alternative to the log book scheme?

VIC - is the 90 day log book scheme inclusive or exclusive of Club event days? Also is the old style permit scheme where the vehicle can only be used for club events etc still available as an alternative to the log book scheme.

Where I am coming from - the Council of ACT Motor Clubs is drafting a proposal for comment and consideration by its clubs to introduce a 60 day log book scheme that is inclusive of club days. This new scheme will replace the old style scheme of club use only so it would not longer be available. I am a member of the Council and when the proposal is drafted, I will need to take a position to my club (Landrover Club ACT) for their consideration, so the above information will help with these considerations.

Thanks

Garry

In the Vic scheme, Garry, the 90 days is a maximum of all trips including club trips.

There is no other scheme in Victoria that I know of.

In NSW the 60 days is exclusive of club trips. That is to say you have 60 days private use as well as club trips.

At our recent club meeting I asked for Corowa Swim In and LR 70th at Cooma to be added to the club calendar so as not to impact my 60 days too much and that was duly done.

**101RRS** · 11th December 2017, 03:32 PM

Thanks for those comments - pretty clear. Is the old system in NSW still available as an alternative to the 60 day system?

Cheers

The club I am in is a border club, so we have both Vic. and NSW club plates available to our members, plus we are one of clubs trialling the RMS log book scheme.
At present RMS (NSW) has extended the log book trial for a further two years to October 2019, I think it is.
Currently there are no log books, just a foolscap sheet printed off. The RMS log book system allows for 60 days of use, however recognised club events don't require a log book entry.
The club that I am in has a ruling that our RMS log book holders must have an entry in the log book for all use of their vehicle.
In Victoria you can get either 45 or 90 days up front, or just 45, then if you look like you need to extend, pay Vicroads for a further 45 days, and have the book stamped accordingly.
In Vic. all movements once over 100 metres from your driveway where the vehicle is normally garaged, must be entered into your log book.
You can test drive the vehicle but must be less than 100 metres from your driveway.
One important thing to note is that you must be a "financial" member of the club, otherwise you are deemed to be driving an unregistered vehicle, so our club really pushes the issue, pay your annual subs at or by the due date, the AGM, and 99% of our members adhere to this. The plates are "non transferable" so must be handed in if the vehicle is sold.
It (Vic and NSW) is a fantastic scheme and allows people who enjoy owning older motor vehicles the pleasure of driving them on a limited use permit without paying exorbitant registration fees, and the majority of vehicle owners wouldn't get anywhere near filling a 45 or 60 day log book in a year, especially if you have several vehicles on the scheme.

Cheers, Mick.
