Just to follow on from that....you could have a bog-standard MGB, or Jowett Javelin, or Mark 2 Escort they dont need a logbook or a COD but can enter race meetings as a classic car

Thanks Crunch. Will send a PM. However, I was under the impression that a Clubsport car doesn't need a logbook, (Classic Trial etc) but ALL cars racing under a national permit do.

Straight from the rule book, As you can see any Clubsport car that is a dedicated motorsport vehicle the logbook is a mandatory item

1) Issue and use of Logbooks: MotorSport NZ issues Vehicle Logbooks on receipt of a
completed application form and fee. Logbooks are used to record all relevant
information pertaining to a vehicle’s competition history.
(2) Requirements: It is recommended that all vehicles have a Logbook, however for the
following vehicles a valid Logbook is mandatory:
(a) All vehicles competing in a Series, and
(b) All Purpose Built and all Dedicated Motorsport Vehicles, and
(c) All vehicles requiring a LVV / MotorSport Authority card, and
(d) As required by the Event Supplementary Regulations.

So to put this simply; if you have a standard road car, you dont need a Log Book. This covers clubsport to circuit racing, EXCEPT where some events such as SOME gravel hillclimbs stipulate you must have roll protection (so then you would need a logbook). This is up to an organiser to decide.
As far as circuit racing you don't. It does say if you are competing in a series you to, but I have got round this one in the past by simply not registering for a series, but entering the races. It was a few years ago...and I do have a couple of oldish Fords in the garage that are my old road cars and I might want to bring them out one day, just as they are.
