Vintage cars: When your car is one of them

Many car owners would like to have the title of classic car for their vehicle, but certain requirements are required. You can find out when an old car officially becomes a classic car here.

Old car or classic car - that makes the difference

In order for your nasty old car to be named a cultural asset in automotive engineering, it must meet the following requirements:

• The car must have been registered at least 30 years ago.
• If you have found an old baby in a barn, you are unlikely to find any information about it. But even then, you can have the car declared a classic car. In that case, you must provide credible evidence that this vehicle was produced more than 30 years ago.
• Another important prerequisite for the coveted classic car status is that the car is largely in its original condition.
• If some spare parts have been installed over time, they must be original spare parts.
• The car must be roadworthy and, accordingly, must have no serious technical defects.
• If your vehicle fulfills these requirements, it must still exist before the strict eyes of an expert before it is declared a classic car.

Of course, you can also have your motorcycle declared a classic car. We have summarized in a separate article what you need to consider so that your motorcycle receives the H-mark.
