On the 22 April 1988 The Vintage Tractor Club of South Africa (SAVTEC) was formed in Pietermaritzburg by a group of enthusiastic men from Natal Province. Their names were Nic March (Chairman), Peter Hull, Trevor Lewis, Frans Buys, Bob Wilson and Stewart Campbell. They all had the same goal: the preservation and furthering of Vintage Tractors.

The first AGM was held at Bloemfontein on the 10th June 1989. From the onset the movement grew across the length and breadth of South Africa. At the 1993 Annual General Meeting the name was changed to the Vintage Tractor and Engine Club of South Africa to incorporate engines as well. The face of the club gradually changed as provincial area clubs were formed but all remaining affiliated to the Vintage Tractor and Engine Club of South Africa. Affiliation fees, based on individual club membership numbers, being payable to the Vintage Tractor and Engine Club of South Africa to cover the day to day running costs of the club.

At a special AGM held at Clocolan on the 3rd March 2000 The Club was changed to a Federation, namely South African Federation of Vintage Tractor and Engine Clubs known as SAVTEC. The first Chairman being Nic Vallentgoed. Each club would be allowed 2 representatives with one vote per Club. SAVTEC's aims are still the preservation of working agricultural tractors, engines and machinery as well as pickups and trucks, and to co-ordinate the activities of all the affiliates.
