The HSV Owners Club of WA is a registered car club with the Council of Motoring Clubs of Western Australia and an approved car club with the Department of Transport of Western Australia. The HSV Owners Club is authorised to provide concessional licence benefits to its members.
We are also members of the West Australia Street Machine Association (WASMA), who operate a mobile app with other club posting approved events which you can attend with your vechicle, therefore opening up the number of opportunities to take the car out.
Code 404 Scheme
The Code 404 concession is for unmodified vehicles which are 25 years old or older
The Veteran/Vintage/Post Vintage/Invitational Vehicle Concession was introduced in 1964 upon request from the Veteran Car Club of Western Australia to encourage the restoration and preservation of historic vehicles. Maintenance of the manufacturer's original specification is one of the cornerstones of historic vehicle preservation and a key objective of the concession.
Owners of vehicles licensed with a Code 404 concession code are solely responsible for maintaining their vehicle in an original unmodified condition and remaining a financial member of a Department of Transport (DoT) approved historic motoring club in order to be eligible for the concession.
If you are interested in obtaining a Code 404 concessional registration for your vehicle, please thoroughly read the following information:
