Maybe becuase the "classic" car period covered from about 1925 to
1947... but mostly pre-war...

Since when was that written in tablets of stone.

I own a 1963 Daimler Majestic Major Limousine it is insured strangely as a
classic car, I sense a certain amount of snobbery in your statement.

Sorry I can't help out with the Wedding though Peterborough is a bit far
from the Cotswolds.

What absolute trash. I thought anything pre-war was considered
'vintage', anything post-war is 'classic'.

And there's no upper limit to qualify a classic. Some cars achieve
classic status the minute they roll off the production line - eg. Lancia
Delta HF4wd / Integrale, BMW E30 M3, etc.

My Golf is insured on a classic policy..... that's a 1981 model.

Think this is correctly called 'post vintage thoroughbred' - but I'm not
sure of the exact dates.

'Classic' is a variable feast.

Post Vintage Thoroughbred as far as the Vintage Sports Car Club is concerned
refers to a list of approved models manufactured after Dec 31st 1930. This
list used to stop at 1939, but I don't know whether it has been extended.
Somebody has a club or part of one for Historic Racers which seem to be any
marque with a track competition history and covers some of the post-war
period.

We finally got a fax machine a few years ago (1997) -- I remember telling
friends at the time "that we were moving boldly into the 1980's."

I also have an ancient G4 duel 450

best,
Dan

In the States, any car over 20 years old is a classic. Any car over 30 years
old is an antique.
