Veteran

Veteran Car Club do Brasil – Rio de Janeiro is the first automobile club for historic vehicles founded in Brazil. Based in Rio de Janeiro, the club brings together enthusiasts and collectors who value automotive heritage and the stories behind classic cars. It organizes exhibitions, social gatherings, outings and rallies, welcoming vehicles from different eras and countries. Recent activities have included displays at Rio attractions, an anniversary visit to Fazenda Bela Vista in Itaipava, and the Rally Fluminense, held with the Brazilian Federation of Antique Vehicle Clubs as part of the Brazilian Regularity Championship.

The club also supports owners seeking certification for collection vehicles. Its technical inspection process assesses whether a vehicle qualifies as an original collector car or is modified, helping determine the appropriate collection-vehicle certificate and license plate format. Owners can contact the club’s secretariat for information on the procedures for obtaining a certificate of originality. Through its events, vehicle archive, news and media coverage, Veteran offers members and the public ways to engage with Brazil’s historic automotive culture.
