Council of Heritage Motor Clubs NSW Inc

Q. Who can drive a conditionally registered vehicle, e.g. a HVS or CVS registered vehicle?
A. To drive a historic or classic vehicle you need a vehicle licence appropriate to the vehicle type.
Any person who is the holder of the appropriate licence can legally drive a conditionally registered vehicle.
The driver DOES NOT have to be the operator/owner of the vehicle and DOES NOT have to be a member of a recognised historic vehicle club.
This also applies to drivers of vehicles on Log Book use and on Club Runs. The HVS & CVS Log Books are Vehicle Log Books, not Driver log books. (Ref. TFNSW - Historic vehicle: Registration, uses and equipment - Driver Licence ; see also Dinkum Oil # 21, Dec 2022

HOW MUCH CARBON DOES YOUR HISTORIC VEHICLE EMIT?

oPERATING hERITAGE aUSTRALIA HAS SHARED WITH US A TABLE FOR CALCULATING WHERE YOUR VEHICLE’S KM/YEAR INTERSECTS WITH ITS FUEL CONSUMPTION TO FIND CO2 EMITTED IN KG.

On the table, also online in CHMC's DINKUM OIL #23 MAY 2023 find where your vehicle’s km/year intersects with its fuel consumption to find CO2 emitted in kg. For example - based on the latest FIVA survey, Australian historic cars travel, on average, around 1200 km/yr and, if we assume a 14L/100km (20mpg) fuel consumption, then the amount of carbon dioxide produced is 504kg for the year.

2023 CHMC ANNUAL RALLY - JUNE LONG WEEKEND - WAGGA WAGGA

COUNCIL'S 2023 RALLY saw 180 HISTORIC VEHICLES from 1908 TO 1991, Cars, Motor Cycles and Commercial Vehicles touring to COOLAMON, JUNEE and around the WAGGA WAGGA region. The mass display of historic vehicles on Sunday drew a huge crowd of people to appreciate our motoring heritage.

2023 PRE-31 AUTUMN TOUR FOR VETERAN & VINTAGE VEHICLES

The Tour was an outstanding success for 130 vehicles and their owners and passengers hosted at Cowra by CHMC Affiliated Club, Dinosaur Drivers Register, Lachlan Valley branch. The sights and scenery of the Central West were at their Autumn best colours, and a unique crossing of Wyangala Dam by all the cars was a highlight that made national television coverage. The Tour was again supported by a grant from the Paul Butler Bequest for Veteran & Vintage cars via the National Trust. Photos and reports of the 2023 Pre-31 Tour are on the CHMC Facebook Site, scroll down to May 2023.

THE COUNCIL OF HERITAGE MOTOR CLUBS NSW (CHMC) REPRESENTS AND PROMOTES HERITAGE, HISTORIC & CLASSIC VEHICLE and MAchinery CLUBS THROUGHOUT N.S.W.

Members of CHMC Affiliated Clubs own, preserve and restore cars, trucks, motorbikes, buses, tractors and antique machinery that is over 30 years old (and quite a few vehicles etc. that are original and well preserved "youngtimers" - i.e. just waiting till they are old enough to be classed as historic)

These members and their clubs share a common purpose, to keep alive the sights and sounds of the vehicles and machines that were an integral part of the automotive and transport history of Australia. Some of their vehicles are more than 100 years old, others are from the 1990s, some are rare, some are unique, and many are everyday vehicles from our nation's past. All are examples of our country's automotive culture and history.

Heritage and historic vehicles are not still here with us by accident, they survive because someone has cared for them through time, or someone has rescued them just in time.

Have you read: the FIVA Position Statement on Historic Vehicles and Global Climate Change

E-FUELS FOR HISTORIC VEHICLES?

The FIVA Working Group on eFuels monitored successful tests of e-Fuels in vehicles aged from 1901 to the 1970s, including a 1922 Aston Martin in the Centenary 2022 Gran Prix; a 1936 Aston Martin raced at the GP Nuvolar; and a VW T1 bus that toured 3,500kms on the 2022 Olympia Rally.

Conclusion – “e-Fuel seems to work and did not harm historic vehicles ”.
