.. Due to be announced officially in a few weeks time....a great news story for common sense and the enjoyment of sensible restorers and owner / drivers... a NSW based 60 day use log book style historic style rego - known as the M plate schome...... is similar to the very successful Victorian scheme - for 30 yr & older vehicles..... is to be introduced in NSW for cars currently full registered..Exact details shortly.
This particularly will help all those regional and country members and help to give them the opportunity to partake in activity as opportunity presents itself.
This is a great move forward.. when used correctly like it is in Victoria.. it helps to blend good social acceptance and responsibility of the collector car following in with good RMS governance.
Congrats to all the ACMC, Liberal Minister Duncan Gay & NSW RMS folk for getting together and making this happen.

The “M” plate scheme will be on trial for 2 years and will apply from the end of a full years
registration as to not cost the revenue status to the state revenue on rego’s.
The scheme will be priced along the “H” system.
There will be a 60 Days usage per year period administered by a club issued log book and sold
through the clubs to financial members only. Originally sourced through the RMS People who are
enthusiastic and have the scheme at heart to control the scheme.TBA
Each club has the option to Opt In or Opt Out of the scheme
The RMS does not intend to touch the “Historic Scheme” normal pink slip registration paperwork
must accompany the application. The vehicle must have been registered as a normal registration
for 1 year.The RMS is requesting motorist feed back in the pilot scheme for the next 2 years.
