Vehicles which are replica of a vehicle made more than 25 years ago may be issued with a club permit.

 The application must be accompanied by:

  • written verification by the club secretary (or person authorised by VicRoads) that the applicant for the club permit is a member of the car club
  • In the case of a club historic vehicle that is not a street rod - a current certificate of roadworthiness or a letter from a scrutineer authorised by the club, stating that the vehicle is safe for used on the road
  • In the case of a application made in respect of a street rod, a Street Rod Inspection certificate issued by the Australian Street Rod Federation (ASRF), Technical Advisory Committee or a report from a VicRoads recognised Engineering Signatory establishing that the vehicle is in fact, a modified vehicle, ie modified in excess of the level prescribed in the "Vehicle Standards Information No.8.
