Classic car legislation tabled in the House
Legislation to regulate the importation of classic cars and their use on Bermuda’s roads has been tabled in the House of Assembly.
The Motor Car (Classic Car) Amendment Bill 2023 creates a new classification of vehicle for classic cars for the purpose of licensing and determining duty rates.
The legislation also allows licensed classic cars to be driven on Bermuda’s roads on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
Under the legislation, anyone who owns a private motor car more than 25 years old can apply to have their vehicle classified as a classic car, which would carry a licence plate that starts with the letters “CL”.
The legislation also includes a clause to allow owners of a classic car to own and use a second private motor car.
The legislation limits the number of classic cars that can be operated in Bermuda to 200, but that figure can be increased by the minister responsible through the negative resolution procedure.
