There have been significant changes to Conditional Registration in the last 12 months. The new Code of Practice called ‘Club Registration’ became effective 1 July 2017. Full details are available on the JDCSA website under ‘Historic Registration’. Briefly, the new code removed the need for annual Statutory Declarations and three-yearly vehicle inspections, and your car now becomes eligible for Conditional registration if 30 years or more have elapsed since 1 January of the year in which the vehicle was manufactured (i.e. currently 1988). Along with this, a relaxation on modifications has occurred, making it the decision of each Club to determine what is and is not acceptable. The Jaguar Drivers Club of SA allows any modification (remembering it is the owner’s responsibility to ensure compliance with road rules and roadworthiness), and as well as Jaguars and Daimlers, accepts any make of vehicle (examples include Ferrari, Holden, Morris etc.) There is also a new look Log Book which will be issued for new/replacement books. A Vehicle Inspection (by JDCSA nominated Club Inspector) is still required for a first time Club Registered vehicle, and the Inspection form (MR334) will be made available to submit to Transport SA so that you can obtain Club Registration. Once registered, your Log Book can then be issued (note that you cannot drive the vehicle until you have a current Log Book). No further inspections are required while the log remains current and the vehicle remains with the same owner. Once issued, the information on the Conditional Registration Form is sufficient for the Log Book Secretary to issue a Log Book; however, we must also record the vehicle Model (e.g. XJ6, Mk2 etc.) which is not on the Registration Form. We are also required to notify the Motor Registrar if a Log Book owner fails to renew Club Membership (Note: your Membership or Log Book is not renewed on time and you drive your vehicle you are both unregistered and uninsured). All Log Books expire annually with the Club Membership Year (30 June), and until you renew your JDCSA Membership (renewal forms will be mailed to you in May/June) you cannot have your Log Book renewed, or a new Log Book issued. As per last year we will be offering to issue/renew Log Books at our June and July General Meetings, provided you have renewed your Membership for 2018/19. If you miss the Meeting, once you have renewed your Membership, simply mail your current Log book with your current registration papers (and a note identifying the Model of vehicle) to me via the Club mailbox.
