Very individual model T range, classic automobile originally collectible? (7,3)

I believe the answer is:

vintage car

'very individual model t range classic automobile originally collectible?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'very individual model t range classic automobile originally' is the wordplay.
'very' becomes 'v' (abbreviation).
'individual' becomes 'i'.
'model' indicates anagramming the letters.
'originally' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'classic automobile' is 'ca'.
't'+'range'+'ca'='trangeca'
'trangeca' anagrammed gives 'ntagecar'.
'v'+'i'+'ntagecar'='VINTAGE CAR'

(Other definitions for vintage car that I've seen before include "Automobile built before 1930" , "Old wheels" , "Transport once" , "one for Brighton rally?" , "old vehicle" .)
