    The LROC Sydney considers Holden engines to be a period mod.
    Join the club and we can get you sorted.
    I am the Historic Vehicle Coordinator for said club.

    The problem is that 'period modifications' aren't mentioned anywhere. It's 'period accessories & options'.

    From here:
    Historic vehicles - Get a NSW registration - Registration - Roads - Roads and Maritime Services
    must be as close to original condition as possible, with no modifications except for safety features such as seat belts and turn indicators or period accessories and options, if desired

    As I posted, there's a misconception that period modifications are allowed on NSW H plates.

    We have several Holden engined 2a,s registered with the LROC mostly on the 60 day scheme.
    There seems to be some confusion regarding historic reg in NSW.
    To get concessional historic reg you have to be a member of a club registered with the CMC.
    The RMS leaves it up to the club to decide weather or not a vehicle is eligible. The club can issue there own roadworthy certificate if required . No pink slip or blue slip required.
    We at the LROC however, require a pink slip only because we consider there is no one in the club qualified to check vehicle roadworthiness.
    There is a new CVS (Classic Vehicle Scheme) for modified vehicles which we at the LROC will apply to heavily modified 30 year old Range Rovers and Counties. Some folks have been reading the guidelines and coming to the wrong conclusions.

    Previously in NSW it was up to particular clubs to make rules about what modifications would be acceptable under Historic Conditional Registration. The Land Rover Owners Club Sydney used a memorandum between the Bush Council and the RTA for commercial vehicles that allowed "engine replacements that were acceptable to authorities at the time to be retained in the restoration" given that Holden engine replacements in Land Rovers were a type approval in the 1980s the LROC Sydney would therefore allow the replacements for club vehicles on Historic rego. However since the advent of the Classic Vehicle Scheme which caters for modified vehicles the LROC Sydney is requiring new applications to take up the CVS and we are in the process of transitioning modified club vehicles from the HCRS to the CVS.

    The CVS requires blue slips and if necessary engineers certificates for modified vehicles.

    There must be almost as many series Land Rovers out there with non standard engines as there are with original ones.
    The majority that have been converted would have had the engine conversion for most of their life.

    Cheers, Mick.

    G’day Macka, I have a 2a 109 with a Holden 186. Got it on historic rego late last year. It’s fantastic knowing that the current expiry runs out at the end of 2020, and very cheap too.

    I had no luck with the Land Rover club - despite the relaxed rules recently implemented in south australia (accounting for the many modifications older vehicles have accumulated). I have gone with a different car club - they are fantastic.

    Will be swapping to Shannon’s insurance too. They are offering $168/year for comprehensive. I have to send it photos etc and they historic rego is part of the deal.

    Hope this helps.

    Nick
