Anything, whatever you deem to be a classic car. I don't think there can be a real definition.

My opinion is, if its 20 years old.... yes, it could be considered a classic. Not sure many would agree with me though :)

Well, if the real early stuff is known as vintage. Cars from late 40's to late 70's is known as classic. I consider 80's and early 90's stuff as more 'retro'.
