Classic Vehicle Scheme
Applying for Classic vehicle registration
You will need several documents to register a vehicle in the Classic Vehicle Scheme. The basic eligibility criteria for your vehicle to be CVS Registered is that the vehicle must be 30 years or more. The vehicle can be standard or have been modified in some way. It will depend on the extent of the modifications as to whether the vehicle will require a Vehicle Safety Certificate of Compliance (VSCC) from a licenced and TfNSW approved engineering company or if a self-assessment is all that is required. You should refer to TfNSW documents VSI.06 and VSI.09 at the very least to understand the requirements. The one document which is necessary for the club to be provided from the registered owner is the Club’s CVS Statutory Declaration, which places the legal responsibility on the registered owner for compliance to TfNSW CVS regulations.
The TfNSW Authorised Service Inspection station who can provide Blue Slips, can assist you here. You should indicate to the Inspection station that you are seeking to register the vehicle under the Classic Vehicle Scheme.
Modifications to the vehicle such as
Note 1: Change to the ECU will also require an Emissions Test. These are all factors to be considered before you set about the modifications, so best understand the implications and obligations BEFORE you spend the hard earned.
Refer to vsi-06-light-vehicle-modifications.pdf and RMS-Guideline-for-alternative-wheels-and-tyres-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-9-November-2003.pdf for the technical information to check you will have selected the correct Conditional Registration Scheme.
The Registration process:
With CVS registrations, BMW Drivers Club NSW also engages with the Council of Motor Clubs (CMC) who are our overseeing Transport for NSW body to authorise and endorse the Classic Registrations. The BMW Drivers Club NSW assist CMC by cconfirming the financial membership status of the registered owner to the primary Club (BMW Drivers Club NSW) and vetting the Member’s and vehicle’s eligibility to the CVS.
