Details

FBHVC is a Company Limited by Guarantee.

The articles of association, which govern the way the organisation is run, may be seen HERE

There are two broad classes of membership with two types of member in each, as detailed below.

The subscription rates are kept as low as possible consistent with raising sufficient to cover routine annual expenditure whilst maintaining a reasonable level of reserves to cushion annual fluctuations and to cover occasional one-off costs, such as carrying out a survey or mounting a lobbying campaign.

Lest anyone think FBHVC is either a wealthy organisation or an expensive one - or both - it should be noted that total reserves at the end of the 2008/9 financial year were £90k and the surplus on turnover was just 3% - enough to keep Mr Micawber happy, but not much more.

Trade Supporters

Historic vehicle related activity is worth over £3 billion to the UK economy each year.  If the right to use old vehicles was lost, much of this activity would diminish or cease.  Any trader that makes a product or provides a service for owners of historic vehicles may join to support FBHVC’s efforts to ensure that the underlying right to use old vehicles on the road is not compromised by ill-considered regulation.

Subscription: £45 + VAT = £52.88 for two years (incl VAT)
