Yep, when I was living in Singapore they were rolling out a scheme where cars older than X years basically could not be used any more. At the same time, they were introducing a new rule where "antique" vehicles could be registered and used, but with severe limitation e.g. you could not use one as a daily, kind of like the limitations some states have when using a year of manufacture plate and now you can only use in parades or for other limited purpose. I seem to recall there was something like a 20 year gap between a car being too old to use and it being old enough to now be an antique.

Next they'll try to stop me from cigar smoking in my antique... ewe can come can take my cigar from my cold, dead fingers. Hi racer
