Historic? Collector? WTF?

[The_Bishop]

So, my '98 is 26 years old.

Is there any benefit to going Historic? Collector?

I know the inspection thing goes away. Any pitfalls to it?

technically Q plates limit use. No inspection. No more renewal fees. You have to go to a MVC office to submit application.

"To be considered a historic vehicle, the vehicle must be at least 25 years old and only used for exhibition and educational purposes by the owner. Historic plates can be purchased for $44."

You probably would not get collectors, from what others have said lots of hoops to jump through on that. Plus i think when its QQ eligible that option goes away.

If you qualify for historic by age, you can't apply for collectors. Just went through this with my 97. I had collectors but couldn't renew given age and decided to just go private inspection with a plug in that went fine. In a couple years I'll see if QQ is the move.
