Special Interest Vehicle Concession Scheme guide

Change to road testing distance

The distance you can travel to test your special interest vehicle after repairs, restoration or maintenance has increased from a radius of 15km to 30km.

Find out more about the conditions and restrictions for using or driving your special interest vehicle.

A concession (or restricted registration) is available if you are registering a classic or vintage car, a street rod or a historic vehicle. This concession is based on the vehicle having a very strict and limited road use which is reflected in the reduced fees and compulsory third party insurance premium.

This guide sets out the requirements for registering vehicles under the scheme and explains the conditions and restrictions under which the scheme operates. Registered operators of special interest vehicles should be familiar with the conditions of use as outlined within this guide and ensure that anyone driving the vehicle is also familiar with these conditions.
