Historic Vehicles in South Australia operate under a system of Conditional Registration.
Incorporated in Section 25 of the Motor Vehicles Act as amended in 1991, the scheme came into operation in February 1992 and allows prescribed vehicles more than twenty five years old to be operated without registration fee for a period not to exceed ninety days in one registration year.
To qualify a vehicle must comply with the requirements of the Road Traffic Act, be more than twenty five years old and the owner must be, and remain, a financial member of a recognised club.
