At what age is a car classed as vintage?
Answers:
Vintage is not a term used by our insurance agency. Classic is over 20 years old, antique is 25 years old, and historic is 50. Collectors insurance uses these terms. States use different terms for plates.
if it was made pre 1975 then it is classed as vintage and you dont have to pay road tax.
25 years
usually 25 years.
All Wrong answers!
Pre 1973/74 are classed as classic cars, vintage not too sure about. But no more cars will become tax exempt. New Laws have stopped the 25 years exemption.
I suggest you check with dvla for exact dates.
I believe to be classed as vintage it has to have been built pre 1930's.
According to ICBC's rules, to be eligible for the special discounts a car, whether antique or collector, must be at least 30 years old. Which means that as of January 2005 any automobile built in 1975 or earlier now qualifies as "vintage."
When it can't pass an M.O.T. test?
In the UK VSCC (Vintage Sports Car Club) uses the term Vintage to describe any vehicle pre 1931. Cars pre 1941 can join by appointment, but there are some pretty stringent rules that have to be followed.
This has been adopted by European clubs but not sanctioned or adopted as fact by the FIAA for European rallies, races etc.
