I'm amazed as well, I wonder what the split is now between 911 Cayman and boxster.

I took mine to the Spa Classic meeting yesterday and when entering the parking was split off from the hoi polloi and invited to use the car park reserved for classic cars by the track. So it must be true 
Let's face it, the term "Classic" is used for loads of reasons e.g. to justify making something more expensive, instead of using a term like "Standard" or for products which are no longer current.
It's one of those situations where it's hard to define, but you know it when you see it. To me 911 water-cooled are classic as are unmolested 996 C2/C4, but when I see a 996 Turbo or C4S, classic car isn't what it says to me :dont know:
The DVLA simply says its all vehicles built more than 40 years ago on a rolling basis each April 1st, there's no pecking order. Classic Line Insurance will quote an agreed value policy for cars over 5 years old.
