However if its currently fully registered, I doubt it'll be an issue.

I personally couldn't give a crap about most ridiculous, unrealistic government regulations. So long as its safe and in the spirit of the theme of "classic car" it'll get the thumbs up from me. Eg: its not boucning along on its bumpstops with a big block v8 where a 4banger should live.

It is attitudes like this that constantly threaten to continued availability of these concessional/club registration schemes.

IMO it's the attitudes of government bureaucrats that are the greatest threat.

Yes and if the system is being rorted this just give them more ammunition to shuts the schemes down.

Not sure anyone has suggested rorting the system. I tend to agree with DC, and the Red Plate Club. If you want to fit a 6.2 litre LS3 to an Austin Healey Sprite, good luck to you, as long as it meets the requirements. In this case the requirements would be considerable, as they should be.

Nah its' the nutters that drive everyone crazy. So long as a car is safe to be on the roads and is enjoyed, I don't really care what others think. I know of a 1940's v8 ford that has a later motor in it (not the flathead). Its been this way since the 1960's. I file it under "who gives a flying firetruck" if its being driven on a club permit ..... or full rego. If someones is enjoying it, good from them [bigrolf]

There is no such thing as an "original" car. Every car gets modified to a certain extent as parts are no longer available. I hope for example you aren't running radial tire rather than old cross plies :rulez::rulez:

If the modifications are 'period correct' then they are totally allowable and legal to be had as a normal historic vehicle registration.
It is typically up to the club inspector as to what is 'period correct'. A turbo setup, lift and small tyre upsize would be. Fitting beadlock 41s would not.

If its more heavily modified and not period correct then you can get an engineer's certificate, same as with a full rego vehicle, and you get a conditional plate. Same usage, same fees, just a different plate.

Go speak to your local club and speak to the inspector.
