FIVA

The "International Federation of Vintage Vehicles" (FIVA) was founded in 1966 in response to an idea formulated by a handful of organisations representing the interests of historic vehicle
enthusiasts within a number of different countries. The founders felt that the time Had come for an international body to Promote and guide the interests of the historic vehicle movement throughout the world. At present FIVA can boast over 85 member organizations in more than 62 countries throughout the world, Which in turn represent more than 1,500,000 historic vehicle enthusiasts.

FIVA's primary objective is to encourage the safe use of self-propelled, mechanical vehicles, more
than thirty years old, on the roads for the benefit of both their owners, and enthusiasts dedicated
the general public. To that end FIVA, through its Events' Committee, has devised its own code for
the promotion of safe rallies or mildly competitive events, and in concert with the European Commission has recently published a Drivers' Code for more general guidance of historic vehicle
users.

FIVA is also concerned with the preservation of historic vehicles, Which are accepted as being an important part of our industrial heritage and attempts to catalog as many historic vehicles as is possible through the FIVA Vehicle ID card, Which is administered by its Technical Committee. To further this end it has forged links with UNESCO and has Persuaded the European Commission to accept that historic vehicles represent a significant contribution to our industrial heritage. It also has important links with 'Federation Internationale de l'Automobile "(FIA) to promote the interests of historic cars in more sporting arenas and' International Federation Motorcyles' FIM to help Achieve similar objective for motorcycles.
