How to register a historic vehicle:
You can apply for registration of historic vehicles under the Historic Vehicle Scheme (HVS). This includes ordinary passenger cars, utilities, light commercial, buses and Special Purpose Vehicles.

You can apply for registration on classic vehicles under the Classic Vehicle Scheme (CVS).
