25 Years

It is a common misconception that a car has to be 25 years old to qualify for 'classic' benefits. It has to have been registered BEFORE 1973, there is a set date so a car could in effect be 33 years old and not considered a 'classic'.
HOWEVER, classic status is not about age; some cars are instant classics, whereas others are classics within a few years of being released. Porsches are known modern classics, as soon as one is produced it is given immedaite classic status.
Hope this helps

Officially in the UK to qualify for classic car tax and insurance - 25 years. But I think being a classic isn't always about age.
For instance the mini and beetle were a classic within a few years of it's being released, but other cars will never be classics even when they're 100! So I guess it depends by what you mean "classic"!

When shipping a car into the United States or from the US to the EU the NTSB website list a car as classic being at least 25 years of age.

In the UK a car becomes a classic on its 25th birthday, but some limited editions can become classics earlier.
Please don't confuse this date with the date at which road tax is no longer applicable, this was for cars registered before 1973 and is not a rolling date.

It's 25 years to qualify to be excempt from road tax.
Doesn't make it a classic though - just old.
