The 90 day or 45 registration scheme should be an option.
Firstly, it is not a permit scheme but full registration with an option of a 45 day use or 90 day use. It is a lot more cost effective.
You can drive the car when and where you want. That is to events, workshops or just cruise. There is absolutely no requirement to drive or being driven to a sanctioned event.
Jump in and take a mate for a cruise and a coffee for a few hours..
You pay to use your car for either length of time - 90 or 45 days. You have a log book. It is simple you fill it out and away you go...
There is no requirement to fill it out to move it from yard to yard - under 100 metres on the road. But once you decide to use the car beyond 100 metres you fill in the relevant details.
Now 90 day registration/log book allows an enthusiast car owner to use the car nearly every weekend. If you want to use the car for a daily driver you can until the 90 days are used up in a year. This is recorded in the log book - similiar to an interstate driver log book but a lot less detail for stops.
I think it a great option. Far better than trying to fight a battle...
SR plates on street rods do not appear to have altered the value of individual street rods. I have seen a car on full registration canceled by new owners and plated on SR plates. Not sure if this was a cost factor or just..
S/Aust. has multiples of 90 day registration for the family cars. You can register for a period and leave it for 3 or 6 months and just pay the next 3 months. Your choice. Great for a laid up family car or someone who is overseas holiday etc.
Guess at the end of the day it is your/our choice.
