Being of both worlds myself I know the dilemma. And while trying to title and/or describe my films correctly this issue has come up often. I end up using the word "classic" a lot, as it seems to be understood by most.

I absolutely agree with Stephen´s coment. As there are units for temperature C and F, for lenght m and feet, so there are different words for the same idea and the same word for different ideas. The essence is to understand allways the meaning behind the appearence and based on love.

I have the great privilege of growing up in England and living in America.<br />
In America, most consider any car over 25 years old "Vintage" or "Classic".<br />
I love being British and I return to England 2-3 times a year (for the Goodwood Revival and Ascot amoung other great English traditions).<br />
I love my English heratige and honour the UK & European definitions correctly stated above by Conor and Christopher.<br />

I think this question is going to be very difficult to resolve as the VRL expands worldwide, which it is doing nicely at the moment. Vintage to most people outside the US would be 1918 - 1945 and to Europe and other parts of the world cars that are Historic would be a more used term for the sorts of vehicles that are generally raced world wide. I can see that there will be a huge resistance on behalf of the US to Change. The only solution that I see is for two sister sites to exist alongside…
I think this question is going to be very difficult to resolve as the VRL expands worldwide, which it is doing nicely at the moment.

I can see that there will be a huge resistance on behalf of the US to Change. The only solution that I see is for two sister sites to exist alongside each other, US/Vintage , Europe and rest of the World/Historic. Historic has a much more meaningful sound to it in that they are historic cars, whereas Vintage means very very old! I am sure this question will continue.<br />

I look forward Chris to hearing your conclusions on the who will race and who will pay this season. Don't forget the Aston Lightweights if you need a really exciting race as part of your Masters Series.<br />
