In NSW it used to be called 'Vintage Rego', but now it is called the 'Historical Conditional Registration Scheme'. It was originally set up by the Council of NSW Motor Clubs, as an agreement between the RTA and the motor club movement. It is for cars 30 years and older, to be used for club events ONLY. The CMC publish information and a set of recommended rules on their webpage, at:

Yes Club Veedub Sydney is a member of the CMC and we abide by the CMC's rules, particularly in regard to modifications (period ONLY). We will also only issue Historic plates to our members who are known and active in our club's activities - people who come to meetings and events, and support the club. It is NOT just a way to get cheap rego.
