writing on a white background. Some vintage car plates have special club
logos and slogans. Contact 1300 851 225 for further details.
Street Rod plates have the prefix "ROD" and 3 numbers (plates have black
writing on a white background).

When applying to transfer the registration of a vintage/street rod type of
vehicle, the new operator must provide a declaration signed by an official

Converting to/from normal registration
If an applicant has a club event registered vehicle and wish to fully
register the vehicle they must undertake the procedure for
re-issue of registration. The club event registration would be
cancelled and a refund issued.
If an applicant has a normally registered vehicle and wishes to register the
vehicle as a club event registration, the existing registration plates must
be surrendered and the registration will be cancelled and refunded. The
vehicle can then be registered as a club event registration without
conducting an inspection, on production of the required documentation.
