Over the last 30 years the Chinese economy has grown in leaps and bounds, and having hosted international events such as the 2008 Olympic Games, China has become more open and accessible to an international community.
The Chinese Automobile industry has also made remarkable progress since the 1980´s and is now the world´s largest automobile market both in manufacturing and selling. This growth has also influenced an increased interest in Classic Cars with more and more people investing in collecting classics. As many historically valuable classics are now available for the public to experience this has opened up the Chinese classic car industry as an area of interest to the international car community.
The Classic Vehicle Union of China (CVUC), founded in 2005 and located in Beijing, is a non-profit organization with over 400 members and a collection of over 800 classic vehicles. In April 2009, CVUC officially joined the FIVA world family and attended the FIVA General Assembly in Turin.
