Hello all,

Looking for a reference to someone in the Portland, OR area who I can connect with in order to register my new (to me) 1999 Series I Discovery as a Special Interest Vehicle. Which requires that it has been "sanctioned by an established organization as a vehicle of special interest." On the below linked form, there is a certification form that needs to be filled out. The difficulty is that I'm not able to find a list of “established organizations” by the Oregon DMV for the purpose of approving special interest vehicles. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers.

----------

From the "ANTIQUE / SPECIAL INTEREST VEHICLE CERTIFICATION" form:
(link: https://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/Forms/DMV/6577.pdf)

ESTABLISHED ORGANIZATION CERTIFICATION:
I certify:
- The organization listed below is currently designated as an “established organization” by DMV for the purpose of approving special interest vehicles
- I am an authorized representative for the established organization, as recorded with DMV; and
- I am authorized to verify that particular vehicles meet the organization’s standards to be approved as special interest vehicles

I further certify that I have viewed the vehicle described on this form and have verified that the vehicle qualifies as a special interest vehicle based on the standards set by the organization I represent, for the upkeep and preservation of this type of vehicle.

I make this certification in support of the vehicle owner’s application for registration of the vehicle as a special interest vehicle and certify that the information I am attesting to is true and correct.

ORGANIZATION NAME AND ADDRESS (STREET, CITY, STATE, ZIP CODE)
NAME OF AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE
TELEPHONE NUMBER
SIGNATURE OF AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE
DATE

Not following? What would make your Discovery a special interest vehicle? In my mind...a special interest vehicle would have to be an unusual model (XD, G4, etc) or one that has competed in a sanctioned event (camel trophy, G4, etc).
