The historic cars present in Italy are worth the beauty of 104 billion euros overall >, which according to the estimates of the first ACI report are 4.3 million, of which 388 thousand are on the Safeguard List of the Automobile Club of Italy. Impressive numbers that once again certify that; the growing interest in a world, that of the historians, which had probably never been "heard" by enthusiasts as in recent years.
And here is also the reason why evidently the ACI has created for the first time a very detailed report to all the "old ladies" of Italy. The ACI Safeguarding List in which only cars with certain quality and design standards and with certain technical specifications enter there are 388 thousand. To arrive at 4.3 million, the 3.9 million vehicles with more than one must be added. of thirty years of age; which current legislation automatically credits among historic cars.
HISTORIC CARS ARE GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY 
With an average value per vehicle of 24,200 euros, the total heritage of historic cars in Italy is close to 104 billion euros, that is to say; 5.4% of the country's GDP. The total is distributed:
- 57% in the northern regions
- 27% in the center
- 16% in the south and the islands.
It will be; interesting to understand how it will move; the market in the next few years, when cars with more; of a few decades of age; others could be saved and put back on the road. Interest grows, manufacturers are adapting by launching lines dedicated to the classics (see Alfa Romeo) and there is no shortage of Italians to conquer: 62% do not own even one. There is certainly, underlines the ACI, that in addition to the intrinsic value of cars, a true heritage of Italian culture, historic ones help to get the economy moving:
The market for this type of car is expanding with positive repercussions on the entire supply chain, on tourism and related industries generated by maintenance, fairs, exhibitions and events attended by owners and connoisseurs, including more and more; young people, throughout the Italian territory. 5.2 billion are spent a year for the maintenance of historic cars and almost 2 billion are spent annually for participation in historic motoring events and events.
' NECESSARY DISTINCTION BETWEEN HISTORICAL AND ELDERLY 
The survey Historic motoring in Italy. 1° Report on the world of historic cars – It was created by the Filippo Caracciolo Foundation, the ACI study center, and presented today in the Senate to suggest to politics a national regulation that makes a distinction between historic cars and simply older ones. strong>
For the first time – declared ACI President Angelo Sticchi Damiani – we have a study on historic motoring that offers an in-depth analysis of a phenomenon that involves millions of Italians, including owners and enthusiasts. It is a market no longer; niche that is expanding with significant economic repercussions, in terms of value and induced activities, and which is increasingly passionate about; even the younger generation. The data presented in this Report confirm the urgency of distinguishing the historic cars from old cars, which are unsafe, heavily polluting and have no historical value nor are they old cars. collection, also to allow municipal administrations to understand which ones to allow and which ones to deny access to historic centres.
All of this – concluded – not only to protect the value of unique vehicles, witnesses of the evolution of human ingenuity, technology, style and design, but also to avoid the growth of worrying pockets of tax avoidance. Historic cars they must be protected, old cars, on the other hand, replaced, and, for the good of the entire mobility system, their owners must be enabled to buy more expensive cars; safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly
