Historic vehicle registration cannot be transferred from one owner to another person. The registration must be cancelled, plates handed in and the new owner will need to start the Historic vehicle registration process again by becoming a new member or if an existing member using our Vehicle Registration Scheme approval form under the registrations tab.
Historic vehicle registration is mainly for operators who only drive their vehicles occasionally. If you drive your historic vehicle regularly, consider applying for standard registration.
ANSMA does not accept memberships or registration applications for any type of recreational vehicle. This includes 4×4 (4WD), RV’s, Motorhomes etc. We are and always have been a club who’s primary interest is the preservation and restoration of Classic Street Machines. Please refer to our list of affiliated clubs for enquiries regarding membership and applications associated with your specific vehicle type.
ANSMA Membership and Conditional Car Registrations are for NSW residents only.
