The NSW RMS Conditional Registration of Historic Vehicles is designed to allow historic vehicles  more than 30 years old) to be registered under conditional registration which provides limited usage of the vehicle and also provides Compulsory Party insurance cover, both at a very reduced cost. The Classic Rally Club is very grateful to the RMS and relevant Minister for the scheme which allows the preservation of historic vehicles for road use without incurring the cost of full registration and insurance. The scheme works very well so long as it is not abused; it is not intended for day to day driving such as driving to work, going shopping, commuting to the railway station or driving the kids to school. The introduction of the 60 day log book trial allows members to enjoy 60 days use of the car for driving sake. The Classic Rally Club will not tolerate any abuse of the scheme by club members.
