The Vintage Sports-Car Club or VSCC is a British motor racing club. Established in 1934 to promote the pastime of motoring, the VSCC was first started in order to allow the "not so rich" to enjoy historic motoring.cite web|url=http://www.vscc.co.uk/vsccweb/about/default.jsp|title=About Us|date=2008|work=Vintage Sports Car Club|publisher=Vintage Sports-Car Club Ltd.|accessdate=2008-08-24] .
