A re-elected Liberal government would double the number of days special interest registered vehicles are allowed on the road to 104 and remove Motor Tax from the vehicles. The tax would see an annual saving of about $64.50.
Van Diemens Car Club committee member Grant Evans said it was a fantastic idea.
“Any increase in the number of days is important,” he said.
“You’re not driving the cars everyday, so it’s really an incentive to be able to get them out and use them more often. You obviously still have to fill your log book in and that sort of thing.
“Everyone will be really pleased by that.”
Infrastructure minister Rene Hidding said the changes would benefit more than 6000 Tasmanians.
“[The changes] will allow more Tasmanians and tourists to appreciate the visual wonder of these charming old worldly cars and bikes,” Mr Hidding said.
“We want to ensure that all Tasmanians are able to enjoy a range of recreational sports and their favourite hobbies, including the preservation, restoration and enjoyment of older, classic and vintage vehicles.”
