That's one cheap green slip. How do they get them so cheap?

Nope, I believe it was dealer done to clear remaining stock.Originally Posted by Dr Terry
Well that makes it a modified car. A bit like a dealer-fitted V8 in an LJ Torana, Most of the conversion is bolt in, but what about the gearbox rear crossmember, if you're using the EH gearbox. That would need engineering approval. There are guys over on oldholden (I know, I know), who believe that they are a real production thing. Dr Terry
The insurance game is all about 'risk'. Can you imagine how low the risk would be with cars only doing say a cruise (on average) once a month. The cars themselves would be in better than average roadworthy condition & the drivers, by & large, middle to older aged, experienced drivers. The vast majority would have an unblemished driving record over the last 10-20 years. The % of hoons would be <1%.
As I understand it, the number of CTP claims on historic rego vehicles (called 'vintage plates' prior to the current scheme), since inception (1959) can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Dr Terry

Yeah I would reckon the actual risk is the same for any car on the road. Once it's out the drive it's at risk. It may go out the drive less often though. The occupants are at greater risk due to poorer safety features. However I am all for cheaper insurances. I just can't see why it's only cheaper for club members. If my car passes it's pink slip it's exactly the same standard as a historically registered car. My driving history has far more relevance than the car I drive. I drive around 50000 km a year. If I got my WB out for two trips a year that is included in those kilometers. I am the risk. Not the car.
Perhaps green slips should be part of your license fee?
Most believe if it was purchased that way then it was factory fitted.
This particular car I knew up until it was sold by the original owner. I was purchased new with the 149 red fitted. I didn't believe it until I spied the first NSW rego papers and the engine number was correct.
The car was purchased new in late '63. I have never seen the car since. It was sold new in Raymond Terrace the owner was from Taree/Wingham. Blue with a White roof and still retained the EJ crash box. At a push I potentially could find it's original rego number when I next run into them. They sold it to purchase a HZ GTS Sedan (or sold it when they had a HZ GTS) I can't remember the sequence.
Anyway, the Historic rego is a little gray and ATM not suitable for me although "some" my cars fit the formula.
11 miles my FB traveled between regos.... thousand buck a year!
I pretty much mooted that once before on this forum and you shot the idea down James!
Insurance should be on every licensed driver and NOT the car. That way you can drive any car (yours or not) and the CTP insurance is covered.
Let's face it you can only drive one at a time.
Lol. I am alowed to change my mind...
