Historic Vehicle Scheme (HVS)

(For vehicles which have NOT been modified)


The Fiat Club of NSW is registered with TfNSW (RMS) to offer financial club members the opportunity to register their cars under the Historic Vehicle Scheme (HVS). This is often referred to as club registration, or club plates (a reference to the original NSW club registration scheme).


Each participating club has a historic plate registrar, who keeps a list of all club vehicles operating under the scheme, with the Fiat Club of NSW as the primary club. The historic registrar also signs and stamps the annual historic vehicle declaration which accompanies the renewal, to confirm the vehicle and member’s ongoing compliance with the scheme. The Fiat Club of N.S.W. is also able to provide CVS registration for modified vehicles as well. Refer to the classic vehicle scheme - here
