- About this plate
- Note the modelling wrinkle worth carrying forward: NSW runs TWO historic regimes, the Classic Vehicle Scheme (this plate) and the Historic Vehicle Scheme (a different, older plate), and the fact sheet says in terms that this plate may not be used on HVS vehicles.
- Who can have one
- vehicles in the NSW Classic Vehicle Scheme; issued automatically to vehicles joining the scheme, and purchasable by existing scheme vehicles at registration renewal. Verbatim: 'No, only vehicles in the CVS can be issued with the new CVS plate', it is NOT available to the separate Historic Vehicle Scheme
- Fee
- $55 from 1 July 2024, which the agency states 'is the same price as all General Issue number plates'
