| Collector Vehicles
It's finally 2015 and that means a car from 1990 would qualify for plates (minimum 25 years old) so long as it is in mint shape and there are no mods. Plus you need another car insured with normal insurance to make it work.
I have a feeling a lot more cool Japanese cars will have plates soon. Off the top of my head in 1990 we saw the birth of the Nissan 300zx twinturbo and the Mitsubishi 3000gt.    If you have a collector vehicle and have collector plates post them here! |

As much as the appeal of having a collector plated car with $300/yr insurance is, imo, it's negated by the fact that I can't have any real fun by personalizing and modifying it and driving whenever I want.
Of course with some cars one would leave well enough alone and not de-value it by making certain changes but for the most part, I'd rather enjoy driving it and doing what I want than be restricted by ICBC's 35+ year old rules. Quote:

It has to be a secondary vehicle and only used for pleasure. | Yeah, has to be stock (except for safety modifications IE: Brakes & seatbelts) and can't be driven to work at all.
What's the point of a cool classic car if you can't show it off to all your work buddies?

There is an NSX owner here with collector plates.
There won't be that many with collector plates because they have to be in excellent condition inside and out. Lots of 90s imports ended up in the hands of teenagers who did very little maintenance, installed a huge stereo then proceeded to beat these cars into the ground. Collector vehicles
You can lower the car up to 1" (2.5cm) and upsize the wheels 1" larger than stock. You can install era correct wheels. http://www.icbc.com/vehicle-registra...ries-parts.pdf | |

The collector vehicles doesn't have to be the second vehicle. It can be your only vehicle, but if it has collector plates and collector status, it must be rated pleasure use (similar premiums as somebody else using non collector vehicle for pleasure use).
If the collector is your second vehicle, it can have collector plates and collector status along with special collector rate class, still for pleasure use only, but cheaper rates.

It's not even pleasure use for collectors cars, on pleasure use you can drive to work a few days a month, but on collector plates you cannot drive to work ever, not even 1 day a year.

Hmmmm, time to look into this for the 911. But, what's the point of having collectors if you're still paying relatively the same premiums as non-collector?

Correct. There is not much point in having the collector plates other than you are ready to go if you get another vehicle insured in your name.
From ICBC:
Will I pay a lower insurance premium?
Your collector vehicle may qualify for a lower insurance premium if you have
another licensed, non-collector vehicle, or
a company-assigned vehicle that's used for general transportation. (This includes a vehicle insured under one of these rate classes: pleasure, to and from work, business, farm, artisan, fisherman or delivery.)
If the only vehicle you have is your collector vehicle, it may still qualify for collector plates. However, it won't qualify for the lower, collector vehicle insurance premium.

Definitely not going to bother then. Fortunately, my plan with it certainly wouldn't qualify for collectors once I'm done...  | |
