QQ plates don't require inspection or a sticker. It's limited to mileage and usage. But if you get the collector registration with normal plates, you have to have collector insurance which also limits your mileage and usage to things like parades, shows, club meets, cruises. You can't take a car down to 7-11 to get a slurpee with collector insurance, they won't cover you if it gets stolen or damaged. So the plates and registration really have no bearing on that. If you truly want to drive your "collectible" car then you need a normal registration, normal inspection and appraisal to get normal insurance to cover the car 24 hours a day 7 days a week. But if it really is limited use then get the collector stuff and stay away from 7-11.
