SVABC does not take a stance on vehicle types!
The SVA remains an umbrella for all categories of our hobby,
be they original, modified, car, truck or motorcycle.
Our goals are all the same, the preservation of our hobby.

Meeting with ICBC
On March 20, myself and 2 members of the SVABC, met with the new president of ICBC, Jon Schubert, and Kellee Irwin, V.P. in charge of underwriting. The purpose of the meeting was to provide the president with a history of the SVABC and to discuss items related to the future of the Vintage and Collector vehicle hobby. The items the SVA put forward were received in a positive manner, however, we agreed that we would not release any details until ICBC has time to review them.
Specialty Vehicle Association of B.C.
We at the SVABC are once again asking all Vintage and Collector car hobbyists to please join the Association in 2009. The SVABC was formed some 30 years ago to protect and expand the Vintage plated vehicles to the Collector plate status which allowed you more freedom and flexibility when driving your old cars.
We represent more than 50 clubs and hundreds of members in British Columbia in our meetings with ICBC and Motor Vehicles to keep your vehicle on the road. With Air Care behind us for now, we will be under increasing pressure in the future to control emissions now that greening the country is the new environmental concern. We have been successful in the last two years to get the Modified Collector plate expanded from 1949 to 1958. We also worked with ICBC to arrive at a consensus on items for Vintage Accessories and also Safety upgrades.
We will continue to work with ICBC and the different Government agencies to keep what we already have and to possibly expand the Collector plate program.We request your support with your membership. The $10.00 you spend on joining the SVABC will go a long way in our continuing negotiations with the above.
Thank you from the SVABC
| What is wrong with this picture ? |

Unfortunately, there is nothing wrong with this picture, provided the vehicle is not insured with an agreed value policy. Only vehicles with an agreed value policy are required to keep the insured vehicle in a protected, locked and secure garage. If on the other hand, any "B" plated vehicle's condition has fallen below the required criteria for a collector plate and it has an active decal on the plate, advise ICBC at your earliest possible convenience. |
Some almost correct responses to date:
Any other guesses as to what is wrong with the above picture? One of the above is very close, another one is on the right track. Answer will be given on 01-AUG-09. |
