I’d like to put my Capri on club rego here in NSW. I don’t know how Capri club rego here works. All I know is to join I need to send a Cheque( don’t have a Cheque book) and fax my info through ( don’t have s fax). So it seems a bit hard and outdated our Capri club of NSW. Do you require a road worthy certificate for club rego? I would hope so and all my cars would pass or firstly I wouldn’t drive them and secondly no insurance would be paid if after an accident,even a not at fault accident it was proved the car was faulty.

Fact is, ANY vehicle, regardless of age, or REGISTRATION status, can be SUSPENDED or CANCELLED
Wiggy, go online to the website for NSW MOTOR REGISTRATION , and if it's anything like ours in VIC, there'll be links taking you to info to get HISTORIC Club Plate "permits"........you need to join an approved CLUB first and foremost.
.Vicroads advised me that this is not a " registration" but a  "PERMIT" as long as it is connected to a fully paid Club Membership..........semantics no doubt to cover up who knows what

Wiggy333Do you require a road worthy certificate for club rego?

No in NSW if the club is prepared to make a declaration that the car is roadworthy.
A lot of clubs don't want that responsibility, so require their members to get a roadworthy from an authorised mechanic. 

OK I don't know who Russ_W is, but, My 2cents, you obvioulsy intend to keep the car.  You are a member of at least one car club, you are able to issue a RWC and have your car registered under the Club Permit Scheme.  I cannot see why it appears regularly on weekend shows with Trade Plates after like 5 years of ownership.  
 
Now regarding the classic/historic cars there are quite a few people using the scheme as part time rego, for say the wife that works 2 or 3 days a week, just get her a VP or EB Falcon, 92 Skyline etc and away you go $120 a year instead of $740, even factoring in your $40-$50 a year club reg you are way in front.  Of course this is not what the scheme is designed for, but every good initiative is always abused.  At least Vicorads are getting rid of the ridiculous Scrutineering method and going with a RWC at first registration.

YES to roadworthy inspection IN VICTORIA...............must go thru same test as if it's a regular car with regular regio, plus be a paid up member of a club endorsed by the State authorities, but NSW has YEARLY RW inspections for ALL cars and trucks, buses and taxis, last time I checked , which is a few years ago. Please update me either way you guys in NSW.......cheers
 
WE used to be like NSW, but it was stopped due to corrupt Certificates.
As perpetraitors are found out by honest RWC Inspectors, they loose their license for life, plus face
a High Court Judge if there were injuries or death caused by their criminal "turn-a-blind-eye" practises

Hi deano,
 
this "russ yoyo" who's been a member for a whole 7 weeks appears to have a few screws loose, or the inability
to be civil and respectful of those around him.  He probably doesn't even own a Capri or any collectable ?
I've never heard of him, so no history ........ must be desperate for attention, to account for his inanity ?
I'll not recognize him any further since he was craven enough to ignore my comments in my first email.
 
Yes deano, a clear example of your email is a club down my way has not 1, but THREE Holden Barinas on red plates!
 
Maybe, if I was terribly drunk and stoned, I'd lean a little his way if they were immaculate showroom Barinas, but they are the opposite to immaculate, and get used as a "daily". Even when originally new, I could not find one redeeming feature in their appearance or style......yuk!

Wake up man!!!
Looks like he has thrown out a bait and you have taken it hook, line and sinker! Who looks silly??

Well Im damn sure i dont and he does.............flapping his jaws like a girl behind a craven mask of total anonimity

NSW has yearly RWC for all vehicles over 5years old.

Burnie take a chill pill
 
And like JR said maybe its time to stop driving around on Trade Plates or better still how about restoring your car so it looks a little more presentable.
 
Or wait is it a "surviver" or "barn find".
 
 

ok, I think I've got it, thanks to GTV6Capr1.
Not being a regular on the show scene, or a club member makes this harder to follow.
 
If all of the above is accurate, BV's car is the one regularly on trade plates, at shows, likely to have long ownership etc. 2 more cents, I agree, long term, regular  trade plate useage probably doesn't pass the pub test, especially when an individual is in the unique position of being a tester etc, and may be worse than pushing the boundaries of historic plate abuse.
 
I don't mind an unrestored car though, patina is a challenge if you can combine it with a fully functioning car that's safe and legal.
 
For the record, my 1600 is fully registered (mainly because it has personalised plates, which were all the rage decades ago), and I cant see the reason of letting them go for historic rego. And its fully insured with Shannons.
Is it roadworthy? I'd like to think so, everything works, but there's always something that could do with replacing.
Is it safe, that's a relative question.
 
Back to normal CF banter please, and hope to catch up with you all more in 2018.
All Ford Day maybe?
