Anyone done this recently! There's a lot of conflicting info around re costs and the procedure to follow, any advice from those with experience appreciated.

normal reg cost has to be 40yrs old to get cheap reg

being pre 91 it wont need to go through a harsh check but it will still be as harsh if not more than a WOF. I understand the compliance cost will be slightly cheaper too.

Cost will be around $300,you require proof you are entitled to have the car,usually a letter from previous owner or confirmation from the police that it is not of interest to them and of course proof of previous registration in NZ.Inspection is same as wof with close scrutiny of any repairs that may have been carried out.It will also be assigned a new 17 digit vin.

Thanks Ian - I take it the 'dead' plates on the car are enough proof of previous NZ reg!

it will need registration papers to accompany those plates, as anyone could have simply attached those plates to that car.

So does the $300 include the inspection, VIN tag, new plates and six months licence!Or is that extra!Just curious as have to go through this myself shortly with my current project.

Dosnt include rego,and the plate should match up to the vehicle identifiers that are attached to to car,if they dont then there is a problem.

$300 will be for the inspection and VIN tag, once it has passed inspection you can then go and register it which will cost $291.11 which includes the plates and 6 months licence, assuming it's a conventional petrol passenger car, it will be more if it's a commercial and/or diesel engine. Then whatever repairs are required on top of that, it will probably need new brakes are the bare minimum. I would budget $800-1000.

Would it be similar costs for a motorbike!I have a 1987 model still with vin plate & paperwork but plate was returned to them some years ago.Wondering how much it would cost to get it back on the road.Cheers

But irrelevant as the OP asked about registration not licensing.
