VCC Dating Information

The Run is open to four-wheeled cars, tri-cars and motor tricycles manufactured before 1st January 1905 and the subject of a valid Veteran Car Club of Great Britain (VCC) Dating Certificate (showing the date of completion of the vehicle as 1904 or earlier) or a valid VCC Veteran Passport.

If the vehicle does not already have a Dating Certificate, your car will need to be inspected by the VCC Dating Advisory Committee in order for a certificate to be issued. If a full Dating Certificate is issued, the car will be valid for the Run from the date of issue.

As an alternative to full dating, entrants can apply for a Veteran Passport to allow the vehicle to enter the Run - these are renewable and are valid for two years. These are also managed through the VCC Dating Advisory Committee.

Entrants of vehicles without a valid Dating Certificate or Passport must apply to the VCC Dating Advisory Committee. Applications for a Dating Certificate or Passport must be made directly to the VCC via website: www.vccofgb.co.uk Tel: +44(0)1462 742 818 or email: hq@vccofgb.co.uk. For further information please refer to the entry regulations.
