G'day TORANR AMORE
Advantages
1/ Cheap as chips "Conditional Registration" NSW $85 first year and $54 next year. The extra money first time is to pay for the plates.
2/ Cheap insurance ie NRMA Vintage, Veteran & Classic insurance section quoted me $46.20 for $6,000 full cover, $65.78 for $10,000. Shannnons also gives good rates for both CR and full rego.
To be eligible for the above, you must be a financial member of a recognised car/bike club and their Inspectors must sign the declaration stating you are a "financial member" on the cars inspection sheet.
Please note that to use a car on CR, you must first notify your club's Movement Officer that you are either going on a maintenance run (within a 10K radius of your home, be going on one of your clubs sanctioned runs, going on another recognised car club's run or have the run listed on your clubs calendar of events.
IE in the past I have been on runs to Canberra to meet up with one of the 2 Torana clubs over there to participate with them in one of their events.
I also nominate events to be put on the "Outings List" so that I can go on them ie 2004 Torana the Great at Bathurst. My car was the only one from my club there.
If you do not notify you Movement Officer that you are taking your car out and you are involved in an accident, then you are NOT covered by insurance even though you have a paid up policy.
These are the rules for our car club and may differ from others but I believe most are similar.
As for the modifications, some car clubs will allow for some modifications but not to an excess ie V8 into an LC/LJ, 6 cylinder into a 4 cylinder car.
If you have a car club in your area, go along and meet them and see if that is what you like. Ask all of the relevant questions and I am sure that they will only be too willing to help you.
As the name "club" suggests, it is usually a social thing with people that have a similar interest.
Hope this has helped, regards..............................Barry.
PS I am the Events Coordinator for our club and I am always looking for different places to visit and events to participate in so that our members can use their cars as often as possible.

In Qld you pay your $100 and no one gives a rats when you drive it. The labels look the same as an ordinary one unless u r up close and see the "R" on it. The cops dont care, sort of like, if you are an enthusiast you wont be a hoon anyway.

umm thats not quite right Rory.
TORANR AMORE: as LC70GTR said it'll depend on what state and what club you join as to what the requirements are.

I`ll have to agree with Tinks on this one Rory as down here in the lower quadrant of Qld the Police are right on to it and you must produce proof of the event you are enroute to.They are clamping down on the Friday/Saturday night drivers with no set destination and if caught out the fine is a "BIGGY",and I pay $170.30 for my rego.. <_<

I dont drive Fri/Sat nights.If you are driving it around at Harrys on those nights, I would suggest it isnt a club car, its regular driver. I do drive mine to work probably once every 2 weeks. Dont get a second glance off the police. Guess they have more important things to do here?

Rick, in Vic you will have to join another car, because CH plates are classic, i.e. no modifications (yeah you were talking about Dave, he handles that section). And cops in Vic are tight about that kinda stuff - obviously unlike Qld police. You can only drive it on the VTC Events marked with a '*' in the newsletter/website.
I'm considering doing it to my car because it also allows you to drive from A-B to get work done on it, and with my L's I'm only gonna be doing that kinda stuff.
There are two sections, one is like $15 and the other one varies but I think generally it adds up to be $95 in most cases. Whether your car would pass it on the other hand is doubtful, and the VTC does not support SR plates (Street Rod). Hope that helped, didn't mean to put you off but it may not be your best option. If you want to know any more then talk to me on the next run or even better Dave, because he knows everything about the system.

In NSW when you have Conditional Rego (CR), your number plates will have a series of numbers followed by the letter "H" ie 12345H.
It easy identifiable from normal rego plates.
CR is like your licence, it is a privilege not a right.
Some years ago a Sydney car club member had his car out without notifying his Movement Officer.
He was pulled up by the police and as a result of him not doing the right thing, his WHOLE club lost the use of their plates for 3 months.
Not a very well liked fella after that episode.
IF by chance you get caught HOONING AROUND on CR plates, I can assure you, your club will find out about it and you MAY be asked to resign from the club.
NO club membership, NO CR plates for your car.
Do the right thing and you will enjoy the fellowship of your club members and very cheap motoring.
Club membership + CR + Insurance = cheap motoring generally under $180

It is for this reason that QTCC has very strict rules regarding club rego.CR is like your licence, it is a privilege not a right.

Some thought they can bend the rules to suit themselves, and didnt like it when informed of such. What they didnt understand that the rules are in place for the whole club to adhear to.
There are plenty of clubs that dont give a shit, you just pay the money and do what you like.

I'm a member of HRCC and have never had any advice on modification from them.

CH Plates in vic mean as stock-standard as possible, I'm not sure about other states/systems. But all modified cars should be on SR plates in Vic which is ridiculous because I don't think one club can have both systems, I may be wrong though.

Here is the extract from the QLD main roads bible,and from memory QTCC you need to go to 3 meetings and 3 runs before you qualify for SIV rego.
SPECIAL INTEREST VEHICLE CONCESSIONS
Use of Special Interest Vehicle concessionally registered vehicle is restricted to the following
. Participating in rallies organized by properly constituted car clubs.
. Participating in processions for which a Special Event Permit has been
issued under the Transport Operations (Road Use Management)
Regulation 1995.
. Exhibiting the vehicle in displays, fetes or similar functions conducted
for religious, charitable or educational purposes.
. Ceremonial purposes involving immediate family members, for example
weddings or school formals (Immediate family means parents or carers
and their dependents and generally does not refer to extended family
relationships such as nephews and nieces), provided this is not done for
a fee or reward.
. Preparing for, proceeding to, and returning from the above activities.
. Vehicles are not permitted to carry a load except in circumstances where
the load is part of a display which directly relates to the authenticity of
the vehicle, e.g. hay bales or empty drums.
. Road testing within a 15 kilometre radius from the place where the
vehicle is garaged.
. Travel in order to have the vehicle repaired. There is no distance
restriction in these circumstances. However such travel must be
reasonable and openly justifiable by the vehicle driver.
. In addition to the above street rods may participate in events sanctioned
by the Australian Street Rod Federation and in events organized by
other properly constituted car clubs.
Hope you can make sense of it Mark.
We actually have had members in our club who thought that once they paid their membership then that was it____"long pause" BUT if you are an unfinancial member of a club on SIV and get caught you and your car are deemed to be UNREGESTERED and insurance is also null and void in the event of an accident.
But they aren`t finished with you yet as you have to pay your full rego from then it is back dated 12 months so that alone is over a $1200 plus fines

Forgot to mention, and it isnt well known, that Personalised Plates over ride "S" plates. So I am also less identifiable with "OXU-200" or "BXU-10" than with an "S" plate which does help. tho I think the signwriting gives it away a bit! 
R
P.S. Did you also know if you own so PPGs you can reverse the comination? Like there is a guy here who bought PH-008 and reversed them to read 800HP for his supercharged 68 Corvette! Tricky bit of info to know...more plate combos coming in my collection!
P.S.S. Also need to point out all my rambling refer to living in a relatively smaller country town which helps, no jackboot types here.

If you go from Yella's point of view, that takes three years of club participation in the A9X club to qualifyHere is the extract from the QLD main roads bible,and from memory QTCC you need to go to 3 meetings and 3 runs before you qualify for SIV rego.

Smiley: Thanks for that. Yes, I was aware of these Qld Transport restrictions, as my car is club registered as well. I was just wondering, however, what restrictions on modifications QTCC sanctioned on club registered cars.
Rory: So, if modifications 'don't come into it,' do you mean that as long as modifications are legal, they are okay? Because this is what I have understood from HRCC.
I also have 'retro' plates (NXU-111) and there's basically no way of identifying that the car is on club rego, except from the small print on the rego label. The car, however, never really sees the street, except on very nice and sunny Sunday afternoons, once in a blue moon.
But it's good to have the hassle free freedom to take it around town a bit when I want to (road testing of course, within 15km radius), without having to notify anyone (like in NSW).

Mark, All your points are right. Mods , if legal are covered as long as it passes rego. The point of NOT using S plates is bornE out by Smiley and you as well. Little known fact but handy to fly UNDER the radar so to speak.Smiley, where are you situated?

I can't speak for other states rules but I would suggest the best way to look at Concessional Rego (Club Rego) whatever you want to call it is to look at the disadvantages before one looks for advantages. I have a vehicle in Canberra on such a scheme. My reason for saying this is that Concessional Rego does have many disadvantages esp if you like to drive. Cost savings are available but at a price if you get my drift.Hey Peoples,
What are the advantages of club rego?
Could anyone who knows or has it list what the advantages are
ie: what are the advantages in terms of modifications?

I cant understand the confusion... as the name suggests it is club rego so you can use your car for little expense for club events... if you want to drive more dont get it.... simple really... if there is exceptional circumstances where you need to use the car for a week to drive interstate or something then buy a permit for the week so you dont wreck it for the rest of the club. It was brought in to promote these older cars not for people to use them for daily drivers.... would you go to work only in underpants just to save a few bucks....

GML-31 we have people in the club who keep their cars on full rego for one of those "just in case" moments that they feel like going for a drive solo..I have my 2 on club rego purely for the cost savings and yes the restrictions can be a pain but you get what you pay for..

QMR does not require an event to be listed/sanctioned by your own club, only that a correctly registered club or charitable organisation is running the event. Car shows/displays don't need to be run by a club. Doesn't matter where they are.
Anyone in QLD on Club Rego wanna drive to Narrogin WA for Revheads???
Thus all QTCC members in Concessional Rego can go out on Monaro Club runs without the QTCC making it a "club run".
Straight from the mouth of the guru at QMR.
If there is something out of the ordinary you need to do, then you can get dispensation from them, just by informing them of the situation.
Grant..
______________________________________________________________
EDIT:
It is advised that all members seeking information on Club Consessional Registration with regard to the QTCC contact the club or Qld Transport directly.
Due to changes, and much erroneous information that has circulated in the past, the most up to dat and accurate info is from the club.

Cost $438 to register the VB Commodore for a year (253 v8)
Cost $424 to register the SS Hatchback for a year (308 v8)
Cost $320 to register the ( 1969 ) Datto coupe for a year (4 cyl)
Cost $75 to register the car trailer for a year
I pay plenty of rego $ each year so I thought I'd add my opinion.
The restrictions of club rego on the hatch and the datto for a few bucks off wouldn't be worth it in my opinion.
I'd rather the ability to drive my cars whenever I damn well please.

My father is in the NSW Mini club and they have just allowed condiditional rego for non Minis.
One member has taken advantage of this and has his tow vehicle on the scheme.
In NSW the club is the ruling body when it comes to allowing mods, however one person can wreck it for the whole club if things get out of hand.
They main advantage is cheap rego for cars that are used mainly for club events anyway.
