Hi David Singapore Vintage car association, MSVCR (Malaysian and Singaporean Vintage Car register) and The Heritage Car Club objective is to preserve the appreciation of classic cars in Singapore for future generations and for our own enjoyment.
In Philippine the Vintage Car Club of the Philippines was organized in 1974, their objective is also devoted to the hobby of collecting and restoring Vintage Cars. Vintage Cars are defined as automobiles 30 years old or older. However, Collectible cars with historic or aesthetic value not yet 30 years old are considered special interest vehicles. The Vintage Car Club is affiliated with the Automobile Association of the Philippines
and it is the official governing body recognized by the government concerning vintage cars in the Philippines. If you compared the price of a vintage car here and Singapore in Philippine Angelas I saw a beautifully restored 1960 Ford Thunderbird. 352, V8 engine were selling for P78,000 about $S2,500 that  would not buy you even a decent motorcycle in Singapore !
