i have a 1987 volvo 740GL 2.3L estate and am currently trawling insurance web sites as my insurance is due next month. A few companies have given me quotes for Classic Car insurance, but i did’nt think my car was old enough for insurance of that criteria. At what age does the DVLA regard a car as “Classic”?

Generally, By DMV Standards (If that means anything) It is 25 Years old. I’m going by the amount of time allowed by the State of NY to classify a car Classic and or antiques. Because in classified as such allows that It will not require an emissions test. But 1 only allows that you have It for display. I believe that one would be Antique not classic. I’m not too familiar with this concept so I’m not sure If I’m absolutely correct. Sorry. But If you go to your states DMV Web site (Every state has one It seems)
