Can any one tell me at what age does a truck become a classic? My own is only 7 years old, but this year it qualifys in the senior working truck at Truckfest. I know its relativly new, but one day it will become classic.
Well, Mr V, there’s no hard & fast rule, but when I went to the Classic Car show in Bham NEC last autumn, this was classified as a ‘classic’…so maybe a few years to go yet!!!
yeah, them sherpas were old before their time!!
I’ve often wondered about the term “classic” when applied to trucks !
Are they judged the same as cars ? Classic at a certain age in their history – further to that when would they become vintage ■■

Got any pics of the 1.8tc?
Imo, a car/ truck becomes a classic when you look back and think - “i used to drive one of those” but at the time, it was a workhorse and nothing special .

My Atkinson Borderer is 38 years old this year so I think that is certainly a classic. The insurance company I use has a ‘Classic’ policy and vehicles have to be 20 years old to qualify.
i used to have a MG Maestro and that qualified for clssic insurance just because it was an MG was only 6-7 years old
was great 18 years old 125+mph car for under 300 qid a year fully comp was great
My Scania 1969 thats classed as classic anything on the Lreg 1973 for historic
road tax
