ACJC | Australian Council of Jaguar Clubs |
The Australian Council of Jaguar Clubs (ACJC) was formed in 1984-85. It is a federation of the eight Jaguar Clubs in Australia that cater to the whole range of models in the Jaguar marque. The primary objectives of the ACJC are:
|
AHOC | Austin Healey Owners’ Club (NSW) Inc. | (http://www.austinhealeyclubnsw.org.au/) |

The FIA aims to ensure that motor sport is conducted in accordance with the highest standards of safety and fairness and CAMS, with 163 other ASNs in 119 nations, are committed to carrying out this mission (http://www.cams.com.au/). |
Classic Car | Classic Automobile | A classic vehicle is one that is eligible to be registered under the NSW Historic Vehicle Concessional Registration scheme. Hence the vehicle has to be 30 or more years old at the end of the current year. Clubs such as the Classic Rally Club Inc (CRC) use this definition. Some insurance companies, however, consider cars 20 years or older as “classic” cars, offering special insurance rates. |
Club Plates | Number plates issued by the Roads and Maritime Services, NSW (RMS) for conditional registration | Members with cars on conditional registration are limited as to when they may drive on public roads and are obliged to prove to the RTA and Police Authorities that the vehicle is on the public roads for legitimate purpose. At all times when driven on the road, the member must carry JDCA Club membership card and the letter of authority from the club for the vehicle to be in use, or, a copy of the current magazine showing that the event to which the vehicle is being driven is one which is approved by the Executive of the JDCA (http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/conditionalregistration). |
CMC | The Council of Motor Clubs, Inc | Formally known as The Council of Veteran, Vintage and Thoroughbred Motor Clubs (CVVTMC), the CMC was formed in 1964 by five Sydney-based car clubs as a body to represent the interests of the historic and classic vehicle movement. In late 2005, the CMC welcomed its 130th specialty motoring club to affiliate. These 130 clubs contain over 26,500 members with diverse interests that include trucks, buses, trams, ex-military vehicles, fire engines, motor cycles/scooters and cars, road going and racing, from the veteran, vintage, pre-war, post-war and modern eras. The CMC represents affiliated clubs and their members with authorities such as the Roads and Traffic Authority, NSW (RTA) with reference to Conditional Historic Registration and the Federal Government on matters relating to the Classic Car movement. The CMC is not a “controlling” body; it only issues guidelines or advice on an issue when requested. The CMC stages a number of events each year for the participation of members of affiliated clubs and to enthusiastically showcase the Classic Car movement to the general public.
