Victorian Red Plate Club Inc. 

Incorporation No. A0061009Z

 

Welcome to the Victorian Red Plate Club.  A club for motor vehicles older than 25 years suitable for VicRoads' Club Permit Scheme.

We are a not for profit organisation incorporated in 2014. 

The committee are based in Shepparton.  The club meets all VicRoads requirements.  We welcome the entire range of motor vehicles; historic, classic, antique, modified, replicas, custom, motor bikes, buses and trucks.  Don't bother with a trailer.  The Victorian Red Plate Club has no meetings for members to attend.  There is no waiting period.  There is no pre approval period.  When you have that roadworthy in your hand you can send through all the pictures as per the "What to do next," page on our website.

The secretary can be contacted directly via 1300 186202 or email to sort through your specific requirements to get you onto red plates as soon as possible.  We have an office located at 18 North St Shepparton and are open normal business hours.

The Club Permit Scheme, or colloquially known as "Red plates" is a "Registration Permit" of an unregistered motor vehicle recognised by VicRoads to make limited use of historic motor vehicles 25 years or older on the road network.

To establish if a motor vehicle is 25 years old the build date must be confirmed.  This can usually be found on the Vehicle Identification Plate on the firewall.  If there is doubt about the build date then the date of first registration will be accepted by VicRoads.

The advantages to our club are no meetings to attend and no forced club runs, no committees and no raffle tickets to sell.  There are substantial savings such as greatly reduced registration fee, no registration stamp duty and greatly reduced insurance costs.  

The Club Permit Scheme has its pros and cons.  It's not for everyone but for most, red plates are a good thing, a status symbol, telling the world you have your act together, have some mechanical knowledge and that you take pride in your wheels.  For some its a link to their family history, an interesting back story that adds character and charm to their car.  Some cars have so much family history and are so treasured they are not for sale at any price.  Go to as many car shows as you can.  See what others are doing with their vehicles, have fun, meet people and spread the word about red plates. 

Before contacting the secretary, read the web site carefully.  Be aware that all motor vehicles going onto red plates require a roadworthy.  A fully registered motor vehicle must also have a roadworthy.  A VASS engineers certificate may be required if the motor vehicle has been modified. We are NOT VASS engineers.   i.e Air bag suspension.  Familiarise yourself with VSI 33, VSI 8 & VSI 14 etc.  It only takes half an hour to educate yourself on the Club Permit Scheme.
