Japan Inspection Organization can issue “Classic car verification” document for the vehicle(s) more than 25 years old. The age record of the vehicle will be verified at Bureau of Transport under Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) before issuing verification document.
A classic car is an older type of car that is usually no longer produced and is over 25 years old. However, there is no standard criteria for what makes a car a classic because different countries have their own rules and regulations.
A classic car is typically described as an automobile after 25 years of first registration or more older, although a car’s age is not the only requirement it must meet before being considered a “classic.” However, a standard criteria for recognizing cars as classics does not exist.
Since different countries use their own rules and have their own regulations for classifying a potential car as “Classic Car”, classification vary depending on each country and region.
