Do E30 really qualify as classic cars? Or are they classic if they are pre-1980?

to me classic is a car that is iconic of its period, an e30 is iconic (to me anyway) of the 80s and German engineering. so id say yes an e30 is definitely a classic

[Speedtouch]

They are listed in the Practical Classics magazine price guide, and they have done a couple of features on them, so I would say they are definitely classics.

European countries identify a historic vehiocle as over 30yr old.

For many years in this country clubs have had a classic as over 25 years old, so many of the E30s do qualify as classic with the latter definition.

It turns out to be a Lagonda 3-litre 4-door saloon:

Wonder what the Mustang is doing there.

it was on the run, sounded pretty awesome. The term classic is a bit loose, basically it a group of car nuts who get together regularly. On sunday there was a 1925 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, a 2013 Citroen DS3 and lots from pretty much every decade in between.

It's great to see such a diversity all together. Good way to spend a Sunday among well-cared for machines.
