Historic registration for your escort

oysta · 18-02-2009, 11:16 PM

Gday,

Has anyone managed to obtain historic registration for their escort? Registration is much cheaper however you can only drive 90days in a year. You also have to be a financial member of a club. This would be great for those of us who take their classic ford out once or twice a week. Any comments?

Im in SA. Has anyone here managed to do this?

Im in the same boat when my RS2000 is finished there are quite a few mk2 on historic rego in AUS ,join a club try(http://sfcc.mine.nu/default.asp?CAT_ID=19) they give you the paper work(usually),there are rules to follow but generally its a cheaper way to enjoy it.

Cheers

I too am looking at this, a guy at work has it for his 50's sports car. Looking at the rules, your car has to be reasonably standard, so not majorly modified. You keep a log book for all your trips, but you only write the date in, not even the amounts of km's you need to do. Some clubs require you to attend so many events per year to qualify. I was thinking abour trying either the Capri Cortina club out hectorville way or the all ford club
