The Street Machine Association of SA has had alot of involvement with these positive changes.
Hopefully we'll see alot more classics on the road over the next year or two.
I highlighted a few of the big positives.

Hon Stephen Mullighan MP Minister for Transport and Infrastructure

Conditional registration to be more flexible and accessible for historic vehicles
The State Government will begin formal consultation with key stakeholders such as car clubs on the changes which include:

* Providing flexibility to allow owners to improve the ride, handling and safety of these classic vehicles, as well cosmetic enhancements
* Moving away from a fixed cut-off manufacture date of 1979 to a rolling 30-year vehicle age
* Removing bureaucratic requirements for motoring clubs to undertake vehicle inspections, reducing the administrative burden on these groups
* Reducing limitations which ban left-hand drive vehicles with safety improvements such updated braking systems
* Making the scheme more nationally consistent

Quotes attributable to Transport and Infrastructure Minister Stephen Mullighan

South Australia has a thriving motoring culture with hundreds of classic cars out on the road every weekend but our restrictive laws prevent too many of these historic vehicles from being driven.
The current laws can even prevent car owners from making safety improvements to their vehicles, because any modifications would force them off the road and into the garage.
These common sense changes will remove the red tape which prevents thousands of car lovers from enjoying their hobby.
They will also reduce the bureaucratic impost on car clubs, which are more often than not run by volunteers, freeing up more time to spend in their vehicles.
Thousands of previously unused vehicles are expected to join the scheme which will also support tourism events such as car runs, shows and concourse displays.

Quotes attributable to Street Machine Association of South Australia Spokesman Glenn Stankevicius

Our committee, members and affiliated clubs are very excited to see these changes to conditional registration. Allowing these changes will mean a lot more cars out at events around the state, boosting local economies.
We expect to see some cars back out on the road more regularly as most owners currently either elect to not register, and just store, their cars, or only register for 3 months at a time and store for the rest of the year.
It will also have a flow-on effect to local car businesses such as panel beaters, painters, motor trimmers, car recyclers, engine builders, detailers, tyre shops and many more as people prepare to get their cars roadworthy to qualify for the scheme.
SMASA would like to thank
