Historic and Classic Vehicles LOG BOOK & CLUB RUNS FACT SHEET.
This has been developed by TfNSW in close collaboration with organisations like the CHMC. It is hoped that this Fact Sheet will dispel the inaccurate information that has been circulated by some groups pertaining to Log Books and Club Runs. All NSW peak bodies representing historic and classic vehicles have agreed to the content of the Fact Sheet.
Clubs are requested to circulate the Fact Sheet to their membership without alteration. The Fact Sheet can be found online at TfNSW

CHMC monitors developments, trends and issues that affect the future of historic vehicles and their operation. Our contacts, in Australia and internationally, include peak bodies in historic motoring, heritage organisations and government agencies, and through them we obtain factual and reliable information and have opportunities to advocate for the future of historic vehicles.

Members of CHMC Affiliated Clubs own, preserve and restore cars, trucks, motorbikes, buses and tractors that are over 30 years old, i.e. heritage, historic or classic vehicles.
They 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 by accident, they survive because someone has cared for them through time, or someone has rescued them just in time.
