I rather like the vagaries of British "Classics". Unlike Vintage and Veteran,
it has no true definition in terms of cars, the British defiinitions of which
are totally different to the American versions. I consider any car which turns
my head and makes me utter "you don't see many of them any more" to be a
classic - and that includes plenty of cars I have no desire to own. In American
terminology, I am unlikely to ever own a classic.
Cheers,
Bill.
