Hey guys,
Rego is up for renewall for the Meteor and I'm considering joining a club so that I can register for heritage plates and hopefully save a few dollars. I was wondering what clubs people would recommend that suit my 82 Meteor Ghia. I'm in the far eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

your 82 Meteor Ghia. is 33 years old
I dont know if forum members would call it a collectible or historic car or classic just yet built in 1982 may only attract interest to someone who likes that model a lot are you want to comp/show and shine it or it keep it original ? # you are confusing me a little on this club and heritage plates question you can get heritage plates with out being in a club or not owning a car they dont get any discount just for being in a club ..most are investments some heritage plates listed here http://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/se...tes/region-vic contact here for victoria heritage plates https://www.vplates.com.au/heritage club plates are for old Historic or vintage and restricted use and are discounted ..not just handed out they represent any car as being mint unique genuine factory original restored vehicles or of a set age Vic roads club plates information for you also all the plate compliant clubs for an application for a club plate https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/regi...-permit-scheme

Thanks dirty hands.
I had the understanding that having a heritage registration cost a lot less than a normal registration but it came with certain conditions. That is the car had to be more than 25 years old and driven less than 90 days per year. I also understood that these plates were purchased through a registered club who you would keep a log book of each day the car was driven. Thanks for your corrections through, I'll have a look at the sites and see what suits (if any). I know my meteor is not a collectible car. However I've had it a long time and not ready to give up on it just yet. It is currently needing a restoration which I will do, time and money pending. I enjoy car shows and if the meteor was up to scratch I would probably enter it into some show and shines for something different. tho not being a rwd v8, it would receive little attention. lol
