M plate is modification plate and H plate is historic plate right? Is this different to club permit?Quote:

The M plate is still a club permit.Quote:

Don't ask. Barrel on as though you will be issued a H plate but if they do say an M plate, don't be surprised.
For your purposes, they are the same thing, a club permit.
It may depend on the 'Club' you join.Quote:

Start looking for a Club asap. Most aren't interested in someone joining just to get a Club Permit and then not taking part in meetings, events etc. Check with them before joining that your vehicle will be accepted otherwise look for another club......

I'm just about to apply for a RWC for my S1 1958
My car doesn't have belts mirrors or blinkers and the local tester is unsure if it requires them or not. Are there any sympathetic testers around Melbourne that know series one's or at least older cars and the regulations for those cars?
Cheers

Ring Vicroads and ask them; if they say you need them, ask for the regulation numbers etc. to make sure that they are not just making it up.Quote:

When you know the rules, go back to your tester armed with copies of the regs and relevant names and phone numbers for him to ring, if he doesn't believe you,

Unless I am mistaken, ADRs did not exist during S1 production. Equipment will be specified by state regulations, and these will vary from state to state. Hence the advice to talk to Vicroads (or the relevant state authority) and insist on references to the regulations for the specific date. Almost none of the regulations have ever been retrospective (only one I can think of is the requirement for rear reflectors in NSW). However, when non period equipment is fitted, latest rules may apply, for example, seat belts.Quote:

The First Edition ADRs were distributed for discussion purposes. However, they were not adopted as a legally binding set of standards under either national or state/territory law.
The Second Edition ADRs first came into effect on 1 January 1969.

Put blinkers on otherwise ur a moving death trap, seat belts will need to be engineered in Vic and u realy need mirrors to, that is unless ur not driving it.Quote:
