Agree. I have 3 cars that are eligible for club plates but I’d rather pay extra rego to not have them on there.
In 1983, when my brother came to study in Melb, my uncle went and had exchanged a $1,000 aud dollar note for him to take here! Have never seen one since. When I came 1986, I got $500 aud note from that uncle as well. Another note I have not seen since either...
Idk how legal it is but I remember seeing a car running club rego with a visor type thing in front of the plate which changed the colour of it to blue. Looked a lot better but haven’t seen anything like it since. It was just a piece of tinted plastic by the looks of it
I don't like the plates either, however in Victoria you don't pay stamp duty on a CPS transfer. The thought of paying stamp duty at 9% fills me with horror, I'll put up with the plates on a high value car for that reason. I would say the slim line CPS plates are acceptable. The NSW ones are odd, they're really small. SA has the best system for plates, keep your original plates with a small permit sticker.
I didn’t know that no stamp duty was payable, but then again, my cars were purchased prior to them being eligible, That’s good information to know for the future though.
The rules are clear: Unauthorised number plates Displaying number plates that haven't been issued by VicRoads on a vehicle is an offence under the Road Safety (Vehicles) Regulations (except for 'home-made' plates on exempt trailers). This includes the illegal re-manufacturing of existing number plates issued by VicRoads in a different format, style or material. https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/registration/number-plates/display-of-number-plates In Victoria, if you see a plate 300.000 and above, an alphabetic plate or a combination or letters and numbers in enamel, it is FAKE. As to the second part of your post, I really love the numeric only plates whether tin or enamel. Especially three digits with a symmetrical appearance, like 101 or 808, 939 etc. The enormous ramp up in prices over the last 5 years precludes purchase for many of us, however they were treated as a "curio" more than an asset class not so long ago.
I'm just thrilled to hijack a Ferrari thread and post some Porsche images on behalf of Moretti, to make his head explode You can get slimline CPS plates in Victoria, the 930 on the left has them. Should the stamp duty have been paid on this car at the time of purchase, it would have been $25,200. Of course I'd prefer the heritage plate on the 996 on the right! Image Unavailable, Please Login
How long did the wheels last? That looks like a seriously dodgy area? Did you pinch them soon after that photo was taken?
