Remember that it isn't really rego, it's a permit to drive a roadworthy, unregistered vehicle on public roads for club oriented activities.
Totally agree Rob. If you are pulled up driving a 'modified' car on Historic concessional plates, you are technically not registered at all & the fines can be high (over $1,000). The car club can lose its RTA authority to issue HCRS rego & it's registrar can be held to account also.

Some car clubs are tough (sometimes too much so) & some clubs are far too lenient, but abuse of the system can only bring tears.

BTW, the 'new' system of HCRS in NSW is proper registration, unlike the old Vintage Car scheme which was just a permit to drive an unregistered car.
