With the ACL, you can fully realise your enthusiasm for historic vehicles
Welcome to all those who are interested in cars and history! Historic vehicles, often referred to as classic cars, vintage cars or collector’s items, are technical jewels that have survived the decades. These vehicles are not only means of transport, but also living witnesses to the technological development, design and cultural trends of their time.
To own, restore or simply admire these vehicles is to celebrate the heritage and innovation that have shaped the history of the automobile. They epitomise a bygone era and reflect the aspirations, style and ingenuity of their creators. Join us on our journey of discovery through the fascinating world of historic vehicles, where each model tells a unique story, a journey through time and the history of the automobile.
The ACL represents the special interests of classic and historic vehicle enthusiasts vis-à-vis authorities, legislators and institutions and contributes to the preservation and promotion of this technical heritage.

"Rétro-évaluation" and Historic Vehicle status
This service is aimed at owners of vehicles over 20 years old. Retro-Evaluation includes not only the “oldtimer” test, which will tell you about the condition of the vehicle, but also an analysis carried out by an expert who can give you an estimate of its value.
If your vehicle is 30 years old and you would like to apply for “historic vehicle” status, ACL will also prepare a file that will enable us to apply for this status with the SNCA on your behalf. This dossier, drawn up in conjunction with the SNCA, will facilitate the procedure.
Please complete the information sheet in full for a classification appraisal of a historic vehicle and return it to ACL Diagnostic Center by email to dc1@acl.lu enclosing, where appropriate, a photocopy of the vehicle registration document.
Training courses
Throughout the year, ACL offers training courses to help you improve your skills in a variety of areas.
These courses are aimed in particular at:
- motorbike users to improve their driving skills

Special assistance for historic vehicles
ACL has developed, in collaboration with the circles concerned, special assistance for club members who own a historic vehicle that is at least 20 years old, belonging to either the passenger car category (maximum authorised mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes) or the motorbike category.
Tax on historic cars
Historic cars first registered after 1 January 1950 and first registered more than 25 years ago are subject to an annual flat-rate tax of 25 euros; vehicles first registered before 1950 are exempt from the tax.
For motorbikes meeting these criteria, the annual flat-rate tax is 15 euros.
Article 53 of the law of 22 September 2006 states that if the tax is not paid, the vehicle may be immobilised or impounded at the request of the customs and excise authorities.
Article 54 also states:
“The road vehicle technical inspection bodies (SNCT) shall refuse access to the periodic technical inspection for validly registered vehicles if the deadline for paying the tax has passed for more than 60 days.”
