A debt of gratitude is owed to the Specialty Vehicle Association of British Columbia (SVABC) and BC car enthusiasts for their perseverance over the last several years leading up to the recent announcement of an expansion in the Collector Vehicle Program. “Starting March 30, 2017, ICBC will begin accepting applications for specialty cars and trucks up to and including model year 1974. Up until now, the cut-off for the
program was vehicles built in 1958 or earlier.”
SVABC comments on the announcement:
“This has been a long journey which started in 2013, with a lot of data collection from the Car Enthusiasts and other sources to assemble a business case to justify the changes to the program. This journey included many meetings with ICBC, the Ministry of Transportation and Minister Stone, which included a lot of in depth discussion about the pros and cons of the age criteria and of course about Replicas. The extra time was not wasted, it produced some positive changes such as a broader range of inclusion for Replicas. A Special Thanks to everyone involved SVABC members , the car enthusiasts, for their input and support.”
