The VW411-412 Friends eV is a member of DEUVET and thus supports the tasks and work of DEUVET as an important association in the classic car scene.

The DEUVET was founded in 1976 by an overwhelming majority of vehicle veteran clubs and oldtimer groups at the VETERAMA in Mannheim.

Cautiously, they first called themselves the “Working Group of German Veterans and Brand Clubs” in order to coordinate the diverging and common interests and to represent them unanimously in relation to insurance companies, authorities and politics.

The unwieldy name was soon developed into the success concept DEUVET and today, in accordance with its longstanding importance, bears the title "Bundesverband Oldtimer-Youngtimer e.V."
