- 1981 Kingswood WB Ute
Ok, So i'm looking at ways that I can drive my 1981 Kingswood WB 253 as a p plater, which I'm most likely going to put on club plates and stumbled across this on the Vic Roads page about club regos
"Club Permit
A club permit vehicle is not classified as a probationary prohibited vehicle unless the vehicle has an engine that has been modified to increase the vehicles performance (other than a modification made by the manufacture in the course of the manufacture of the vehicle)."
Has any one had any experience with this law? Ive asked a friend who is a police officer and he didn't even know it was a thing so my question is would it just cause problems driving it on club plates as id end up getting pulled over all the time? and do i display my p plates?
Also, im assuming this would only count if we keep the blue 253 in it - or could i change the engine? we're looking at putting in a VP 5ltr EFI engine.
Its not too much of a problem if i can't use this rule to my advantage, as I attend uni in NSW but my home address is VIC, so i could just get my NSW license in which case I will have my fulls due to you only need 3 years driving experience in NSW rather than 4 in VIC. Id just rather save the hassle of changing my license over and the rego for my daily driver if i can.
