## About this plate

THE ELIGIBILITY TEST IS STATUTORY AND THE FORMAT IS NOT, the split this whole file is built around, in one series. HTA s. 7(1.1) states the 30-year rule in terms; nothing in the Act or the regulation says a historic plate reads 1H2345, and 2007 is the article's unfootnoted date.

## How numbers are issued

1H0001 upward per the article's issuance record

## Who can have one

HTA s. 7(1.1), verbatim: "'historic vehicle' means a motor vehicle that, (a) is at least 30 years old, and (b) is substantially unchanged or unmodified from the original manufacturer's product." Reg. 628 s. 1(1) carries its own definition "despite the definition in subsection 7 (1.1) of the Act" for registration purposes.
