The FBHVC (Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs)

There are over 540 subscriber organisations including the MVT, representing a total membership of over 250,000 in addition to individual and trade supporters.
They also encourage the preservation and promotion of all types of vehicles within the broader context of our national heritage.

It does this by making representation to politicians, government officials, and legislators both in the UK and through its partnership with the Federation Internationale des Vehicules Anciens) FIVA,  the international body representing the historic vehicle movement.
