What is Club Plate Scheme?
The club plate scheme, also known as club registration or historic vehicle registration, is a system that allows owners of older, classic, or historic vehicles to register their vehicles for a reduced cost and with some usage restrictions. This scheme is designed for vehicles that are not used for daily commuting or general transportation, but rather for recreational and club-related activities
