@Tauseef: Thanks for your compliments. There is no pre-requisite for joining the VCCCP with the exception that you must own (preferable) OR have a strong appreciation and understanding of classic cars. You're more than welcome to participate in our shows and meets, if you're willing to truck your cars down from Peshawar that is. My father owned a similar Merc to yours with the exception that it was a dark grey 1956 220A with a removable vinyl sunroof that extended all the way to rear of the roof. I wish I knew where that car was now. He purchased it directly from MB when he was in Stuttgart.

For present and future reference, I'm attaching the links to Wikipedia which define the terms 'Classic Car' and 'Vintage Car' for the benefit of those who appear to misunderstand these terms and hope its of useful comprehension. Please copy and paste to your browser:

@everyone

Id like to direct your attention to the very last table on this page. Notice the year bracket assigned to "classic"

Sorry for the new cars pics, my bad judgement, have sold the fiat and the capri about two years ago, only have the seventies mercs and the rx8, wish i hadnt sold them, do i still qualify to be a member at the vccp?

symbiote (symbiote) 2007-09-15 06:38:00 +0500 #231

being a member is not about having a car...although Mr. Ikram would be the person to correct me on that...if you have a good knowledge base of vintage cars and a passion for them im sure you can join up for the club. Being a member also automatically makes you legible for helping out in conducting VCCCP organized programs. We need all the help we can get..

definition of classic cars, vintage cars, sports etc. varies within different school of thoughts. I checked the links given by mjabbasi and do not agree with their definition. Here's what i believe is closest to reality:

Edwardian (1876 - 1905); Veteran (1905 - 1918); Vintage (1919 - 1929) & Classic (1930 - 1969).

We could add modern classics for cars such as 1971-77 pontiac Firebird, Porsche 911, Ferrari 512 BB and some others from the '70's, Datsun 240 Z, Toyota Celica 1974, Rolls Royce Corniche (early 1970's), Bentley Mulsanne Turbo 1970's....etc., etc. Cars which are made for the enthusiast in mind are the future classics. Cars which are made with either economy or usefullness in mind are the ordinary cars which are ultimately scrapped. Criticism welcome.

Mohsin you may not agree but those at the helm of things see it this way. A judge at the Concours 'D Elegance might turn around and give an entirely different view. Its very objective and there is no 'ideal' definition you can pinpoint.

Either way, nothing over 1970 usually comes into any of these categories save for very minor exceptions.

@mjabbasi
u r referring to Americans when you say at the helm of things. Even 'Concourse d' Elegance' at Pebbles Beach don't follow that. Like you and I have stated, there is no definite definition for classic cars. I am sure Alvis can come with something useful....alvis, r u there?

mjabbasi (mjabbasi) 2007-09-15 17:38:00 +0500 #238

Not right now he doesn't appear to be. I guess there is no ideal terminology or interpretation and a single enthusiast I don't think qualifies in providing that. We just have to take it (or the car) at face value and decide henceforth.

mohsinikram (mohsinikram) 2007-09-15 18:05:00 +0500 #239

@mjabbasi
a 1971 Ferrari Daytona is a definite classic, isn't it. How about a 1971 Lamborghini Muira P400 SV, Mercedes 300 6.3 (1968-72), Jensen Healey (1972-1976), a 1972 Detamaso Pantera, Mesarati Ghibli (1967-73), Plymouth Baracuda (1964-74), Dodge Charger etc. etc. Aren't these all classics....
