We can get a temporary permit which is good for a set number of days to take a car to a show or have it inspected but that is it. 
Ron   |  Hi there Ron,
 
To put it as simple as possible. 
 
All licences Plates are issued by the state (club plates included).  
Clubs do sign off that the application verifying to the state that the applicant is a member, and that the car meets the club's requirements. But more importantly the cars need to also be signed off as ROADWORTHY. Only a state registered body can issue this roadworthy certificate. 
 
I'd suggest the pic of the vehicle above is NOT of a roadworthy vehicle - I'll bet there's little to NO CHANCE those tyres are either DOT approved or road worthy. |
