Vintage would be pre 54 and anything before 67 in type 1 after 69 in type 3 and type 2 would be a classic in my opinion.

Amongst owners and aficianados of veteren, vintage and classic cars, this is the stuff of arguments that end in tears.
A common definition is:
Veteran : 1900 - 1908
Vintage: 1909 - 1930
Classic: 1931 - ????
The post-vintage period is often carved up into many slices such as "Post-vintage", "Early classic" etc. but this is rarely
agreed, whereas the Veteran & Vintage periods are more broadly agreed. Pre-1900 is sometimes referred to as "Antiquarian".
Do you have a Vintage Volkswagen?

Peter
I was under a slightly different rule as per the Fuddy Duddies Club ( royal Auto club) U know keep a stiff upper lip my boy etc etc
Up to 1919 Veteran
1920 to 1930 Vintage
1030 to 1939 Pre War
1939 to 1945 War
!945 to 195 ???? Post war.
Unfortunatly VW does not really classify into these classes but I would say
Up to end of Ovals Vintage
Ovals to 68 Classic ???
But thats only my opionion... Whos got some Ideas ???

I was of the belief, that it was,
50 years veteran
25 years Vintage
It probably made more sense in the 60's-70's

Modulus is correct except for dates for which VW 54 is correct
vintage refers to a specific era of motor vehicles & the date does not roll over, neither does veteran, these terms have become more & more
disused,
however "classic" does not refer to a specific era & therefore can not be specifically defined , you constantly hear of "pre war
Classic", "post war classic"
"60's Classic" etc , any thing over a few years old seems to be a classic if someone wants to sell it

I should add that antique used to be officially defined as 100 years old or over,
now it is something that is old, that you want to sell

My question is who owns a car that was built in 1030? I certainly dont!! Extreme antiquarian dark ages stuff, wheel had been invented i suppose.

hmmm 1030
got to thinking & looked up exact dates
Veteran is cars built up to & including 1918
vintage form then till 1930
Britain throws a spanner in the works by classing veteran to 1904, cars built in Britain from 1905 to 1918 as Edwardian, 1919 to 1930 , vintage
fact is those terms end for after 1930
