Short profile:
The FBHVC is a grouping of almost 500 Clubs and Museums together with some 1500 Trade and Individual Supporters. The aim of the Federation is to uphold the freedom to use old vehicles on the roads without any undue restriction and to support its member organisations in whatever way it can.
Detailed description:
The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs exists to uphold the freedom to use historic vehicles on the road.
The one thing that is more important to historic vehicle owners than anything else is the one thing that most take completely for granted, and that is the right to use them.
At present, provided a vehicle is road-legal, it may be used whenever the owner chooses, however old it is. FBHVC’s purpose is to keep it that way.
Some might ask why this right to use the road should need protection, but one doesn’t have to look far for an answer.
Society is becoming ever more regulated. Activity that is perceived as anti-social is banned, or controlled. Global warming and health considerations have heightened concerns about atmospheric pollution. Traffic congestion is costing industry substantial sums.
