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. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 VW Golf GL Cabrio (carb broken) - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 33 1.7ie BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Think this is correctly called 'post vintage thoroughbred' - but I'm not sure of the exact dates. 'Classic' is a variable feast. -- *Could it be that "I do " is the longest sentence? * Dave Plowman London SW 12 RIP Acorn |

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. Ron Robinson |

Any car over 30 years old is an antique. George Patterson To a pilot, altitude is like money - it is possible that having too much could prove embarassing, but having too little is always fatal. |
