JoKer 18,635 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 So last year they had a fiddle with the system classes & whatnot Majority of the info you want is here : https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/licensing-rego/ though if you're like me & your car make/model isn't listed then there's not much info specifically relating to "Classic cars" or "Vintage" So I asked directly via NZTA Facebook page & received the following information via PM 11:15 NZ Transport Agency Thanks Jared, The 1976 Hillman Alpine, registration plate HN6783 is currently on exemption until 29/05/2016. As it is 40 years + it's licensing fees have been decreased. The licensing fees automatically decrease on 1 January of the year that they are set to turn 40. The 12m licensing fee for the Hillman is $74.74 (or $3.09 cheaper online). Although the vehicle is 40+ is does still require a Wof at the time of licensing. Vehicle 40+ are not subject to continuous vehicle licensing and they has a 2 year lapse period (where the vehicle can be left un- licensed or without an exemption for up to 2 years before they would de-register) The same apply's for the 1934 Austin Ruby, registration plate JT4**7 which is currently on exemption until 08/04/2016. When you are ready to put the vehicle(s) back on the road they will just require a WoF and then you are able to licence, the licence will start from that date that you pay to licence. I hope this information helps, just let me know if you need any further clarification. Thanks Teena Posting this info in the effort it may help or be informative if you spy any private info that should not be shared or this is in the wrong section/useless then feel free to let me know or delete & I'll happily edit or amend information correct at the time of posting 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JoKer 18,635 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 perfect : confirms what I couldn't find (perhaps a man-look) I just didn't want to double up info if it was already on here somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 29,854 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Is there some other way to check online when the hold runs out? I grapple with owning ten live cars. And there seems to be nowhere to see when the hold runs out. Also, the reminders now come 6 weeks before they run out. PLenty of time to forget to go back online and do it. And you can't put them back onhold online till it runs out. and it costs money to do it in person at the post shop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seedy Al 18,027 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Im with Bart on this one. Would love to know how to find current rego status also. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KKtrips 23,412 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I put any car I'm taking off the road, straight on hold after I take them off the road, and select 12 months on hold. Then every birthday I put all my "on hold" cars on hold again for 12 months as long as I am sure I will not be using them anytime soon. That means that I will put then on hold at least twice a year and the overlap will capture any irregularities and doing it every birthday means I should not forget. Only time it gets Tricky is when I have a car I take off the road only for winter. If you are not sure what vehicles are under your name then do the online form for revoking authorisation, use any rego you know is under your name. This works regardless of if you have revoked your authorisation before or not. Once you get to the confirmation stage it will give you a list of all the vehicles under your name. Includes, trailers and bikes too 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

N3K 311 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 My car turned 40 this year so my rego is cheap. I called the transport dudes and they said I wouldn't have to backpay to end of November when my rego ran out. What a score. I love being 40 said no one ever. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AllTorque 42,479 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 No back pay is the best part of classic rego. I buy 3 months rego every 5-6 months. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigmatt4 275 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Also after you car has done the 3 month minimum you don't have to back pay your rego even if you have put your reg on hold for 12 months and put it back on the road after 4 months Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duanalan Fisher 0 Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 I have a Citroen ZX 1992 1.6 litre auto hatchback and intend continuing having its rego on hold. How many years to go untill it attracts a cheeper rego cost by being Classic or Veterin or whatever ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
