Actually, I'm pretty sure that the cut off for vintage is 1996 at Hinckley.
The xx is definitely legal as it was released the same year as the mardave cobra which has been used in the class. Traxxas Bandit's have also been allowed which were not released till well after the xx.
What I would say though is that unless you are a genuine beginner then driving a xx in the vintage class might be a bit dull.
The class restricts the cars to silver can 540 motors in order to protect the older cars.
The emphasis of the class is far more towards having an enjoyable day out rather than out and out speed or competition.
Personally if you want to race vintage, then I'd use one of your other cars, or if you want to use the xx, put a better motor in it and race with the modern cars.
