Step 1. Join a
recognised car club. Be a financial
member for 6 months, do a safety training course and undergo (and pass) a
safety test.
Step 2. At the end of
the six months, find a car that you want.
Ensure that it is a car which has a use at the club of which you are a

a) is
no shorter than 3 metres,
b) is
no wider than 1.2 metres,
c) has
no silencer on the exhaust,
d) has
a fuel tank no larger than 10 litres,

a manual gear-box (no fully automatics allowed),
f) has
an engine capacity of less than 3.8 litres
g) is
not used by the police or military.
Step 3. Pay the vendor/dealer the full amount, and (for an
additional fee) receive a copy of the serviceability certificate which contains
the VIN number. (Note, you can only
purchase one car in the first six months).
Step 4. Apply to your car club for support of your purchase
of the car, providing all details of the car, and specifying your intended use
within the club’s activities.
Step 5. Ensure that your garage meets the requirements
regarding construction material, and number of locks. Fill in a Statutory Declaration to this fact
and take supporting photographs.
Step 6. Ensure that you have acceptable separate storage for both the fuel and fuel tank.
Step 7. Once you have passed the safety test, have the serviceability certificate and the club support letter, statutory declaration and photographs fill in the online form. Detail your medical and mental health, genuine need for owning the car, intended use, and other miscellaneous information.

At all other times they must
remain in the locked garage that no one else but you has access to, with the
fuel tank, and fuel stored separately.
