## About this plate

The SECOND old-vehicle regime, and a distinct one: Division 22A (COLLECTOR MOTOR VEHICLES) was enacted by B.C. Reg. 105/2017. Its four qualifying items are a genuinely useful vehicle-catalogue hook and are quoted rather than paraphrased: (1) a vehicle "at least 25 years old" and "maintained or restored to a condition that conforms to the original manufacturer's specifications"; (2) at least 15 years old AND "no longer produced, or of limited availability", same condition test; (3) a MODIFIED motor vehicle manufactured 1974 or earlier and registered in BC as a 1974 or earlier model whose body, chassis, power train or steering/braking has been altered by a non-manufacturer; (4) a CONSTRUCTED motor vehicle manufactured 1942 or earlier (or built to resemble one) and registered as a 1942-or-earlier model. Reg.
