OBY Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 At what age does a classic car no longer need to be licenced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 in new zealand it always needs to be licenced/rego paid to be on the road at 40 years it becomes "classic". this means a slight change to "continuous licencing" in that it takes a little longer for it to be come deregistered if you forget to put it on hold 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440bbm Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Classic is after 40yrs of age. It is not that it doesnt require rego, it is that it is non concurrent. Meaning you can just rego for x months at a time and you dont have to back pay in between for the months not licenced. Also you get 2 yrs before deregisters not 12months like normal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Tamer Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Nice to know you have two years begore it gets deregistered. I have three cars on hold and two have gone past the on-hold date. I used to always get a reminder of when I needed to update the cars, but it seems they have stopped that now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to check on what the cars statis was. You have to fill in the online form, but it rejects my driver's license number which has always been ok before. I have contacted them about it, but they failed to give me a reason why. I have asked again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to this page you can check any plate without drivers license etc Check expiry query (nzta.govt.nz) e.g. for that Trike 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igor Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Not surprised. Vested interests pushing for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Vested interests like the mta hate the 6 month wof and the 3 years on new cars so always push the other way. Possibly the vcc lobbies for a shift to 1 year for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your getting upset over a 60$ wof then don't own a classic car. And if the upset is from needing repairs every 6 months then it shows the car actually needs work and isn't safe for 1 year so the 6 month is kinda doing its job But if jt passes who cares its probably the cheapest part of owning a classic car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes a 2000 car safer over a year than a 1999? Nothing, that's what. It's a stupid rule, but I don't expect a change. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
