Re: What is an Antique?

[Anonymous]

I agree it’s something we need to address, sooner, or later, as the "Classic" class grows and grows…

It has always tweaked me that post-war opposed twins (ie; PO, Speeditwin, Lightfour,…) are "classic" while pre-war alternates like the Mercury KB4 are "antique". Nearly identical models of both were sold pre and post war, but they represent different eras technology-wise.

I’d be interested in knowing what innovations (and particular motors) can be used to identify different eras….
