It's the same with most car clubs to be honest.... When I bought a Vanquish, the nay-sayers within the AMOC said 'it's not a proper Aston'. So I bought one from 1959 and then they didn't know what to complain about.

Interesting, when I had a DB7 we went to our first AMOC meet, everyone was lovely to us, ours was one of the newer there, most being pre 1980. Everyone judged each other's cars for best turned out and we one. Maybe it's the just the people in particular clubs that are the issue.
By the way if your on the Dark Side, I think you should come up with an appropriate name for your new purchase.
