I was wondering about the regular insurance/antique plates. I want to do that on a future project, will suit my needs.
And yes, any place that does stickers can do the mechanical fitness test for your 'one and only' inspection if going antique plates.
This is where the loopholecome into play - a totally unqualified 'club officer' can sign your mechanical fitness form, instead of a licenced mechanic.

Antique plates and regular insurance here. Mechanic signed off on mechanical fitness and odds are I'll never be seen driving the 10 km/year on the road that I do. If anything is said I'll go back to regular plates, but in the mean time I'll have saved hundreds of dollars. Other than an annual run or two and a trip to town when my daily driver is down I don't drive it. It is hearsay, but I know of a guy that daily drove a 60's suburban with antique plates that got pulled off the road, the rockers were rotten. I doubt he would have had an issue if it was in good repair.
Insurance called me a few weeks ago looking for a value, I told them 3K and they were happy with that. They were concerned it was worth a lot more and not insured properly.
