Howard,
In Ontario, and I suspect most other places, "historical vehicle" plates are
to be used only for the above reasons quoted by the officer. That's why
they're so cheap, but very limiting. I would never register a Healey under
those plates because I'd want to use the car for pleasure.
One of my customers just recently registered and plated his Healey with a
pair of "Year of manufacture" plates, but paid the normal fee for the
registration and the annual sticker, ensuring his car's use wasn't limited.

Subject: Vintage lic plates in Ohio
Rich or Ira Just curious about Canada or the far west states) I was at
the Austin Healey club meeting for Northest Ohio and
I was speaking to a fellow Healey lover and he stated on Saturday a fellow
driving His Bn4 through Rocky River, Ohio was stopped by the police.He was
with his daughter and took her out for an Ice cream. The policeman asked :
1.) are you going to a club meeting (no)
2. ) Are you going to a show (no)
3.) Are you going to an antique display? (no)
4.) Headed to a parade (no)
He then proceded to write out a ticket (cost of $85.00)
Why driving on vintage plates that are only supose to be used for the above
listed events and are limited in miles as well as usage????
In Ohio vintage plates cost $14.50 a one time charge . I guess they want you
to also pay for a road tax plates as well.
$48.50 a year
Any other states or Canada like this or was this policeman just looking for
a way to make some money for a hard up$$$$$$$ city?
