CHAIRMAN’S REPORT// By Ian Elmsly
Firstly I hope you are all well and are surviving the “lockdown” and have managed to complete all those chores that we had been putting off prior to the proverbial hitting the fan!! To say it has been a bizarre period would be an understatement as we have adjusted to different routines, and for those of us used to going to work, to suddenly stay home takes some adjustment! The contacts that have been flowing with txt messages and emails has been amazing. Clearly some people have too much time on their hands but the jokes and stories have been a welcome distraction to this dam virus! I think many will have upskilled with using technology as more and more hook into “zoom”, what’s-app and the likes to stay in touch with family and friends. We have all no doubt got opinions as to the rights and wrongs of the government and their actions or lack of but let’s all hope that we come out the other side in one piece. One concern we had as a Club was the well published visit of the Ruby Princess cruise boat, as we had our team down on the wharf that day for the visit, and some members may have had visitors closer than they would have liked. But we can report that Helen Ball was on top of the game and liaising with the Cruise Boat team and all have reported in good health (phew!). Going forward, as you were all advised in our newsletter of the 23rd March 20, the
May 2020
Club is closed until 30th June20 and at this point this date still stands. We will of course be reviewing the position in line with the Governments guidelines and instructions. You will all realise that this will impact on our AGM that was scheduled for the 10th June20, and you will be updated as to the position with the AGM via a separate notice. One positive from the current situation, is the price of petrol, which apparently has dropped! Let’s hope that once we can get out and about, we can fuel up the old cars without draining the wallet, and empting Kiwisaver accounts. Always the way, the price drops, but some Muppet stops you from driving the car!! Also interesting was the email from Kaaren Smylie, the North Island Club Captain to all North Island members with kind wishes for the ANZAC weekend, a nice touch so well done. So that’s it from me for now. Stay safe, look after yourselves and be kind (just joking about the “be kind” bit! You’re allowed to be grumpy from time to time when appropriate!) Happy polishing (seen you can’t drive the cars).
CLUB CAPTAIN// By Esther Smith
I had agreed to write a report for this edition of the MAG but now I can’t think what to say. All those imminent and future events that were planned have either passed up or will now not be happening. It won’t be difficult to get our local club events back up and running again, but I am sorry that we had to cancel the National Vintage Rally originally planned for early September, and to hear that the 2021 Vero Rally in New Plymouth has been postponed for a year we were looking forward to that event. So what are the pro’s and con’s of been in isolation, well I thought I would select 5 in each category Pros • The wonders of technology mean that I still have a job, it took some getting used to but now we are operating pretty much business as usual just all from within our own bubbles • Thanks to those keeping us supplied with a steady stream of jokes and video clips • Our bubble includes our daughter, son in law and 4 grandchildren who live 50 metre down the shared driveway so life is not dull • The amazing weather we have had, I know we desperately need rain, but the sunshine has made lockdown a lot more bearable also the proliferation of birdlife, in one early morning walk I saw a Pheasant, a Kingfisher, a Hawk, Tui, a
family of Quail and lots of Fantails • Heaps of time to read, I‘m saving nearly an hour a day through not having to commute to work Con’s • Missing catching up with our wider family and friends. • Our house construction stopped just before the kitchen was to be installed (now restarting under level 3 which is very exciting) • We both desperately need a haircut, especially when the barber Graham goes to in town and his wife who is a hairdresser just happen to be our neighbours. • Absolutely hated going to the supermarket • Uncertainty as to what the future holds, what will be the new normal, feeling so sorry for people and businesses adversely affected by the lockdown and who face an uncertain future. For now all we can do is keep in touch with one another, tidy the workshop yet again, and get onto all those vehicle restoration or maintenance projects, you just hadn’t had time for before. In that way your vehicle will be all ready for when we can open the club again and get some runs organised.

LOCKDOWN BLUES// By Graham Smith
“Well Madam what have you in mind to do today?” “Actually is more what I have in mind for you to do Dear Lustful. You see I have offered the Editor of the Mag a page of your finest script about one of those old jalopies you have in the shed, maybe the shiny red one.” “Would that be the same Mag that is under virus lockdown and currently is suspension? If so why am I involved Madam?” “The alternative Dear Lustful is that you could be in suspension – from the rafters; now just get on with it!” And so it was. I had to rack my little brain and dredge up details from over 50 years ago – no actually nearer 70 years as I need to go back to the early 1950s. Bear with me, I’ll try and be brief and remember where I’m up to. Now yes, the early 1950s. Around 1953 my father, then in his 40s, decided he would like to purchase a new car. He has never owned a car and didn’t even have his licence at that time but never mind. With four children he wanted a car with a bench front seat that would seat 6 people. He had his eye on a Standard Vanguard, a Humber Hawk or a Ford Zephyr. In those days you put your name down with the car dealer and waited. Those with overseas funds (mainly sheep farmers who could sell their wool on the London market in their own name so getting the precious overseas funds) could get to the top of the list. Others just took what they could when a car came up. Dad would spend many a lunchtime walking around the dealers to see if anything had come up. So it was that in November 1955 he went into McDonald Halligan Motors in Albert Street in Auckland (one of two Rootes dealers in the same street) and was offered a brand new red Humber Super May 2020
Snipe. He had the weekend to think how he was going to find the additional 200 pounds. All the moneyboxes got shaken empty and the car was bought. I was with dad and his brother who drove it home and 65 years later it still resides in our shed. I spent many informative teenage years helping to maintain the car and on trips, being piggy in the middle keeping two waring elder sisters apart while younger sister got to sit up in the front seat between our parents. But no, that’s not the shiny red car that Madam referred to. We will come to that shortly. Dad was an accountant with a large insurance company by day and a farmer by night and weekend. We had about 400 fowls, bee hives and fruit trees and with a double section he had a large veggie and flower garden. He also grew calla lilies for market. Eggs, cull poultry and the lilies were taken to market from our home in Birkenhead on Auckland’s North Shore by the local carriers Barrett and Durham. In the late 1960s I started looking about for a small rural property to buy. I looked at one 10 acre block near Taupaki in North West Auckland but couldn’t afford the 3300 pound purchase price so instead I purchased a one acre harbour-side block on the upper reaches of the Waitemata harbour, complete with boat ramp and boatshed for 1650 pounds. Meanwhile my parents bought the 10 acre Taupaki block and moved there (complete with the lilies but only a few chooks) in the early 1970s. This posed a problem for getting the lilies to market and dad started to look at small station wagons that he could use to transport the lilies into the Turners and Growers market as he didn’t like using the Super Snipe for that. He was leaning towards a Datsun 120Y wagon. About that time I read an article about a fairly unusual and somewhat revolutionary car that was available in small numbers in New Zealand – the

Renault 16TS. I had moved to Wellington but on a trip to Auckland in December 1972 I went with Dad to the Auckland agents, Campbell Motors in Upper Queen Street Auckland to look at a 16TS. Campbell Motors assembled the more orthodox Renault 12 saloons and station wagons in the Thames plant now used by Toyota. The Renault 16TS was however imported fully assembled and being French had higher duty. We took the 16TS for a test drive (actually I drove) and Dad decided to purchase it there and then. He wasn’t going to dither, memories of the 1950s being still fairly fresh. However he decided to pick up the car the following week as it would be a year younger! So on 3rd January 1973 the car was registered in his name as manufactured in 1973, and yes, it was red too. In 1983 dad was keen to buy the next model Renault, the slightly bigger Renault 20TS. However all the next shipment had been presold. We has moved to Napier and I ascertained that Ross Dysart and McLean, the Renault agents in Hastings, were getting a gold one in but it had not arrived. My father decided to buy it sight unseen and when it arrived my parents came down to Napier in the 16TS which we bought from them and they headed home in the 20TS. The 16TS then became our daily vehicle, our 1960 Humber Super Snipe being relegated to special occasions and underwent a stripdown, some panel work and a respray by me at home. Although only 1600cc the 16TS engine is reasonably powerful for its day with a twin choke Weber carb and crossflow engine design using twin overhead rockershafts and crossover pushrods that make it look rather like a twin overhead cam engine – a virtually identical design to that in the 1960 Super Snipe. Being May 2020
fairly high geared it cruises well and on one occasion we saw nearly the ton (yes it has a mph speedo) with plenty of go left. With three children we would go on holiday with a laden car and a laden trailer with all the tent and camping gear. We only had problems twice and it was both when towing on steep gravel roads – once going into Anaura Bay north of Gisborne (where the HBVCC went with the 2019 Gisborne Safari) with a heavy trailer and we lost traction and Esther and son had to get out and walk some of the (then) gravel hill while I backed for a second and successful attempt. The second time I needed help we were towing a 14 foot caravan up to Riverlands off the Napier-Taupo road. All was well until we got onto a steep gravel hill over the Mohaka going into Riverlands. Again front wheel drive let us down and we had to get the help of a McVickers’ Bedford truck to take the caravan the final mile or so. A couple of years later I stripped and repainted the Renault and had the upholstery redone as the original velour simply fell apart in the Hawke’s Bay sun. After much hunting Malcolm Wilkie at Napier Auto Upholstery found a virtually identical looking fabric but being made in Australia should better stand up to our uv. With Bruce McKechnie’s help we rebuilt the motor (it has wet liners and I had got a piston/liner set at a good price). Around 2000 we purchased a 1983 Renault 30TX which was the V6 engined version of the Renault 20 but with other upgrades like cruise control, twin circuit four wheel disc brakes etc etc. I then decided that the Renault 16TS paintwork was looking a bit shabby and again fully stripped the car but this time arranged for a professional painter to do the job. Unfortunately he went back to the UK to visit his family and never

came back. The little car then languished in a shed for over 15 years until I decided that it needed to be got back on the road. Bruce Cocker in Meeanee has done a fabulous job on the repaint and over the past 18 months I’ve just about finished reassembling it with just a little exterior trim to do. I located a firm in Holland from that has almost everything for these cars including even all the subframes, not that I needed those. I bought all new window rubbers and felts and fitted new seatbelts (it didn’t have rear ones originally) and it’s now just about ready for a warrant and rego, and maybe a VCC outing when the lockdown is finally lifted. A brief history of the Renault 16TS. The Renault 16 was released in 1970 and was the first successful hatchback car. The term hatchback (or liftback) hadn’t been coined and initially it was marketed as (don’t laugh) a limousine. It does have exceptionally comfortable seats though. It was in production for 15 years until 1980 and nearly 2 million were built although few came to New Zealand because of the high import duty. The (recently) late Sir Stirling Moss once said that all car manufacturers should purchase and study the model which he described as one of the most intelligent cars built. In addition to being front wheel drive (so giving a fairly flat floor) and large hatch it has torsion bar suspension that doesn’t intrude into the rear space (just the shockabsorber towers). The suspension is a bit unusual in that the rear torsion bars are transverse, one behind the other, which results in the wheelbase on the left being longer than that on the right. The seating has about 7 positions including a sleeping position for the front passenger as they had rallying in mind (there is a passenger map reading light and front grab rail too), the whole rear seat can be moved forward several inches to give a larger boot (a feature just
coming into some new SUVs 50 years later) the rear seat squab can be flipped forward and the rear seat back swung up to be suspended from the grab handles, or both squab and seat back can be easily removed, and the seats can all be lain flat to form a bed of sorts. Its Achilles’ heel was (like so many other cars up to the 1990s) rust. I believe there was some Russian steel used as part of a trade deal with France (a bit like we sold butter to Russia in return for Lada cars). Our car has fortunately been garaged most of its life and hasn’t suffered much rust. “And the 16TS; what’s that all about? Would that be 16 tons. Oh, I remember, some ships are TS for twin screw. Am I close?” “About as close to the wharf as you’ll likely to get in this car; no TS is Tourissimo Speciale” “OK a tourist model then, but why be so obscure Lustful?” “Madam, better you ask the Italians. I think they’d probably suggest something like Touring Special just for you”. “And here’s me thinking that tours to Italy are off at present due to the CCP virus lockdown Lustful” ‘Oh I’m sure they’d make a special trip for you dear. I think there are only about 400 cruise ships lying idle at the moment. Social distancing shouldn’t be a problem as you will be the only one aboard. Do give them a ring. No, first send this to the Hon Editor. I don’t like the look of those rafters.
