What makes a classic car, Classic?

[Chris_w666]

I like many people on here love cars in most of their forms but what makes a car a true classic?

Is it age? For example would a 30 year old 200 series Volvo be a classic?

Or is it a car that is just perfect at what it was meant to do eg a MK1 MX5?

Or something that lasted forever and is just updated making every 911, Defender, or proper mini eligible for classic status.

When someone is prepared to keep it on the road for no good logical reason other than to have that particular car.
