The registration can't be transferred, the car's ownership can still be transferred. Just as an unregistered vehicle. You will need to register it, whether you put it on a Club Permit or Full Registration - it doesn't matter.

Ok so if I buy it and bring it to NSW I cancel the club rego, get rwc and all that that and go get it regod like a normal car?

 

Once you bring it to NSW the interstate rego becomes invalid anyway right?

 

If you get a NSW pink slip you can get club rego but you have to be a member of a club and it has to comply to their conditions, if it's not highly modified you shouldn't have a problem with most clubs.

 

Otherwise you get a blue slip and rego. it as usual, you may need an engineer's certificate if your mechanic suspects it's modified.

That is why club rego is good, lets you have the modifications...

 

That depends on the club, according to NSW rules

 

'Vehicles must be as close to original condition as possible, with NO alterations except for safety features.'

I tried getting club rego for the Mustang and got rejected for 17” wheels.  Was told my model came out with 15” max. they could allow perhaps 16” but 17’s were too noticeable.  The argument was that say, someone from the Morris Minor club saw my car and reported it the club could lose their rego. privileges from the RTA.

 

Some other clubs will allow modifications so shop around.

yeah it's modified a lot i'm surprised any club would let it in, I want normal rego anyways.

 

This is also a case of 'depends on where you go'.

 

Some mechanics will let certain mods slide, others will want an engineer to inspect it and even different engineers will give you differing opinions.

I know a few guys who have cars on club rego ,and they have a tad bit of mods.

 

Absolutely, I can't see how any hot rod is close to stock as possible yet some are on club rego.

[StephenSLR]

arn"t "hot rods" a class of thier own?
different rules for them i think

 

You may be correct, I know for full rego, an engineer has to pass them at certain steps during the build, not sure how it works for 'historic' rego. though I'm sure I've seen some wildly modded cars in the same hot rod clubs.

Sounds like a nice car.....any pics..?

P.s ...hope the stars with really modified cars don't shaft the whole club rego thing.....as its supposed to be for cars that are still pretty much as made back in the day.
it's a great way for the average punter with a few cars too many, to afford to drive the old girls on limited rego.
too many modified cars that attract the eye of the law or state rego authority may bring the whole thing crashing down....as I'm sure the state governments would much prefer to sting all the club cars for full rego and green slip $$$.

I seem to recall a UC that was defected in Sydney??? For having a V8 in it and being on club plates. assume the club rego was cancelled too?

[StephenSLR]

Just wondering, if you buy interstate, do you tell the PO that you're going to register interstate?

 

They could then get reimbursed for the unspent rego once you cross the border.

 

How does it work exactly once you cross the border, can you drive around on leftover interstate rego from the PO?
