Code C4C

2. Concessions for Classics scheme (Code C4C)

The Concessions for Classics (C4C) scheme is a voluntary concession which is available to owners of elegible street rods and vehicles manufactured in a calendar year that will result in the vehicle being at least 30 years old at the start of the calendar year in which the discount would begin.

On 1 January 2025, a rolling 30-year vehicle eligibility was introduced to make the scheme available to more WA vehicle owners.

The major difference between Code 404 and this Code C4C is that the vehicle can be modified.

Eligibilty requirements

All vehicle modifications must comply with the National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification Vehicle Standards Bulletin (VSB 14) and relevant Australian Design Rules (ADRs). Prior to any modifications being made which alter the vehicle from the manufacturer's specifications, an application must be made and approved by the CEO of the Department of Transport (DoT).

All vehicle types complying with the weight limit of less than 4500 kg are eligible for concession including cars, motorbikes, trailers and caravans, and street rods.

Compliance requirements

The owner must be and remain a financial member of DoT approved historic motoring club to be eligible for the concession.

The vehicle can only be used for a maximum of 90 days per calendar year, being: 60 days to participate in motoring club sanctioned events; and - 30 days for personal use per calendar year (including testing, maintenance, and repair). Vehicle owners are to record the vehicle use in a logbook (a logbook template is provided here) prior to commencing each journey. Logbooks must be in the vehicle when driven and be produced on request to a Police Officer or other appropriately appointed person. Members are required to retain previous logbooks for a period of 2 years for auditing purposes.

Auditing and recordkeeping requirements

To provide access to this concession, on a scheduled and ad-hoc basis, the Austin Healey Club of WA will be required to provide DoT with copies of the registers and information of members using this scheme for auditing and compliance requirements. Accordingly, those members using this scheme will be required on occasion to present their logbook to a club officer for auditing purposes.
