90 days driving wherever you want doing whatever you like for $137 per year plus your car club membership - $50 if you join the ASRF.
Full reg now $815... Only useful if driving more than 90 days per annum.
You will need engineers and RWC for either for your car.

Best thing I ever did with my Torana. Was shattered to lose my custom plates initially, but got over that really quickly. Now I smile every time the annual renewal notice arrives. My LX started on a H plate, but then when M plates were introduced I switched over.
We also have an EH (the missus' car) - so that's on CPS plates too - on a H plate. My smile gets even wider when that rego arrives. It's money in the bank.
Realistically, most people with "weekend" cars - won't even use 90 days. We both chose the 45 day option which costs about $77 a year. Worst case if we hit that limit early, we can simply purchase another 45 days. Our insurance also dropped significantly, so the savings actually go a lot deeper. I pay $40 for club membership.
I did the maths a few years ago and worked out that I'm saving around $18,000 every decade. For me it was a no-brainer to embrace CPS (raising 3 kids, single income etc etc - money is tight!).

I was going to go full rego on mine when the time comes but now leaning towards M plates. My only reservation is, what club to go with as I have heard some now have some restrictive requirements and I'm not the type that will want to attend every meeting/function. Do your research in that regard. If you think about it 90 days equal ~ 1 day out of every 4 days you can drive it. I don't always drive my daily driver that often. Cheers Ron

If a car has period correct mods and can pass a general RWC, then all is good and H plates are the order of they day.
If the mods are more extreme and warrant having an engineers report (VASS certificate), then it's M plates (think non-factory engine upgrades etc).
