Chairman’s Report

Neil Chave Chairman’s Report – July 2020 On Sunday 21st, we held our first event since the March rally. The annual ‘Brass Monkey’ was very well attended with 40+ members setting off from the clubrooms for a drive around town followed by an evening meal served with mulled wine at Fine Fettle. As it just happened to turn out, Lorraine and I were declared the overall winner, and we have the task of setting next year’s event. With currently everything at level 1, we hope that we can quickly get back to our planned calendar of events. As all members will be aware, our AGM scheduled for May is to be held on July 8th at the clubrooms, and we continue to welcome nominations for the position of chairman, club captain, and secretary. These positions are well supported by the club’s committee. And again, we urge all members to consider putting themselves forward for any one of the roles, and make your commitment to the overall management and direction of the club. We have been approached by the Waikato/Bay of Plenty branch of the Cancer Society to again help with the distribution of daffodils in August this year. Although the VCC national body has decided there will be no national Daffodil Rally this year, we as a branch are keen to set a run for the local cancer group along the lines we have organised in previous years. Again we shall try to motivate the Taupo locals to support this run with the local media. In August, the National VCC is holding their AGM in Wanganui, and it is expected that our representatives from Taupo will attend. There are a number of quite pressing issues, with the new logo design for the VCC being one, and another matter is some urgent progress with the signing up of new members. The VCC is well behind most other clubs with its current cumbersome process, and we need to move to an online system as soon as possible. Neil JULY 2020

Club Captain’s Report

Tony Mannington Club Captain’s Report – July 2020 As we are all saying, we are back in business, just let us hope it continues and we don’t get too big of a second wave of Covid-19. Our team of 5 million did a fantastic job beating Covid-19, but returning Kiwis are a problem. Great to see a great turn out for our first event after lockdown the Brass Monkey Run last Sunday. Thanks to Marty and Lynne, who as last year’s winner, had the task of setting this Brass Monkey Run around town. Different runs getting set by Club Members for our runs during the year, it still amazes me that they are always going somewhere we haven’t been before. Brass Monkey didn’t disappoint exploring the new housing subdivision out towards the airport. Taupo is expanding. July is usually set down for the annual Taupo Hobbies Expo, but unfortunately, due to Covid-19, it has now been canceled, and we look forward to taking part in 2021. After the AGM, the new committee will look at the new Club program, and if they decide to put on a run in July, you will be notified by email. Hopefully, by August we will be back to our normal Wednesday Club Nights and Sunday Club Runs. Don’t forget to mark your diary for our Taupo VCC Club AGM on the 8th of July at the Clubrooms 7.30 pm. The heating will be on, and supper will be served at the end of the meeting. See you all there! Cheers, Tony JULY 2020

Flashback: Dan Gurney’s Champagne week in ‘67

by Eoin Young

It was a champagne week for Daniel Sexton Gurney back in mid-summer of 1967, when he won the Le Mans 24-hours for Ford one Sunday and was a winner again the next weekend when he took the laurels in the Belgian Grand Prix in his own Eagle.

“I was so stoked that when they handed me the magnum of Moët, I shook the bottle and began spraying at the photographers, drivers, Henry Ford II, Carroll Shelby and their wives. It was a very special moment,”

Dan Gurney was the first driver to spray the champers about, rather than swigging it, after he and A. J. Foyt had won at Le Mans. “I was so stoked that when they handed me the magnum of Moët, I shook the bottle and began spraying at the photographers, drivers, Henry Ford II, Carroll Shelby and their wives. It was a very special moment,” he said. Gurney made champagne history when he sprayed the bubbly and the moment was captured on a special ‘Spray it Again, Dan’ fan poster. “What I did with the champagne was totally spontaneous. I had no idea it would start a tradition. I was beyond caring and just got caught up in the moment. It was one of those oncein-a-lifetime occasions where things turned out perfectly… I thought this hard-fought victory needed something special.” LIFE magazine photographer, JULY 2020

Taupo Torque | Taupo Vintage Car Club Magazine

Flip Schulke, was a popular chap on the racing scene and Dan had hauled him up on the stage before he started spraying the champagne. “I took one photo and then ducked,” Schulke recalled. “When it was over, Dan handed me the empty bottle and autographed it.” That original Moët champagne bottle is now in pride of place in the conference room at All American Racers’ headquarters. Schulke had converted it to a table lamp and used it in his Florida home for thirty years before returning it to Gurney with the comment: “You did it… you should have it!” Dan and Evi removed the lampshade, took the electrics out, and had a special glass case made to preserve the famous bottle. Gurney and Foyt drove their way into Le Mans history with the red 7-litre Mk IV Ford specially modified with a bump on the roof to accommodate the lanky Dan. They raised the race record by 10 mph to a 135 mph average speed over the 24 hours, covering a total of 3,250 miles. It was also the first time that an American car and driver combination had won at Le Mans. Dan won at Spa in his own 3-litre V12 Eagle-Weslake. The 3-litre Cosworth-Ford V8s had arrived to win first time out at Zandvoort in Jim Clark’s works Lotus 49, and the two new cars bracketed the Eagle on the front row at Spa. Clark stormed into an immediate lead, with Jackie Stewart second in the unloved H16 BRM, and Gurney third. Gurney was moving in on Stewart when Clark pitted with a blown spark plug, and Gurney also stopped, to warn of fluctuating fuel pressure, but there was nothing the crew could do, so he was sent back out, now in second place, 16 seconds behind Stewart. Dan was now in attack mode, lowering the lap record as he chased down Stewart and went into the lead with seven laps left. It was Moët that Dan sprayed in those days and it was Moët that was presented at races thereafter on a gratis basis, Moët et Chandon presumably figuring that giving their bubbles free was financial involvement enough. But Bernie Ecclestone decided that ‘free’ was a word with which he was uncomfortable. He put the naming rights for the official alcoholic fizz in Formula One up for bids, and G. H. Mumm won. Dan might have been the first racer to spray the bubbly after a race win, but G. H. Mumm champagne had arrived in motor racing eighty years earlier, when Raymond Mays christened his Brescia Bugatti Cordon Rouge.

JULY 2020

Mays had been winning sprints and hill-climbs with the elegant, lightweight, Type 13 Bugattis, which were in production from 1910 to 1926. In the 1930s, Mays would create the ERA (English Racing Automobiles) racing marque and in the late 1940s, he was the man behind BRM (British Racing Motors). The first BRM was a screaming 1500cc V16, which sounded far better than its racing record would read, but a BRM would win the 1962 World Championship in the hands of Graham Hill. Gurney had a dismal summer with BRM in 1960 with a best result of tenth place at Silverstone. In a 1973 interview, Mays told me the story about dining with his engineer friend, Amherst Villiers, in a London restaurant in 1923, when a champagne label caught his eye. â€œI had just won a speed trial in the Bugatti and we were celebrating over dinner with a bottle of champagne. It occurred to me that the striking red and gold Cordon Rouge label on the bottle was just what I needed as a racing name for my Bugatti, and I suppose that was really where sponsorship in racing started.â€? At the time of the interview, Mays was seventy-three and still active as Director of Racing for the Marlboro-BRM team. JULY 2020

That night in 1923, Mays asked the waiter if he could steam the label off the bottle as a guide for the name to be painted on the bonnet of his Bugatti and he wrote to the head office of the G. H. Mumm champagne company, makers of Cordon Rouge in Reims , asking for their permission for him to borrow their brand name for his French racing car. The company replied immediately, delighted with the idea, and despatched three cases of champagne to toast their new association with success.

Pleased with this double result from the bubbly company, Mays wrote to the makers of Cordon Bleu cognac but while he received permission to use the name on his â€˜otherâ€™ Brescia, he was never offered any brandy!

In fact, this was inadvertently a first venture into the world of commercial sponsorship in motorsport and has led to the wheel turning full circle. Cordon Rouge champagne is now the official bubbly in Grand Prix racing for presentation and spraying on the Formula One rostra. Tom Wheatcroft arranged with Raymond Mays to open his motor racing museum at Donington Park in 1974, linking with the UK importers of G. H. Mumm champagne – half a century after Mays ‘discovered’ the label – and the bubbles started spraying in vintage racing circles, with a replica of a Brescia Bugatti used in major store promotions. A special Cordon Rouge Classic Bugatti hill-climb was held Dan with the original Moët bottle in the All American by the Bugatti Owners’ Club at Racers’ boardroom. Photo - Terry Marshall Prescott on June 2, 1974; the winner at six vintage meetings during the summer was presented with a Jeroboam of Cordon Rouge and each finisher received a bottle. Cordon Rouge champagne had already been the toast of society for half a century when Mays, the young Cambridge graduate, made racing history by being the first to carry what amounted to a commercial sponsor’s name on his racing car. That the ‘sponsor’ was a top champagne company only added to the flair of Mays’ talent as a racing driver. With ‘Cordon Rouge’ he was to dominate speed trials and hillclimbs all over England during the summer of ’24. Mays, the son of a prominent wool brokerage family from Bourne, Lincolnshire, leapt to prominence in speed events in 1921, while still at Cambridge. He drove a speed model Hillman in those days and had such instant success that he invested

everything in a new Brescia Bugatti for the 1922 season. Once again, he excelled, and during 1923, the Bugatti was run in much-modified trim, its speed and engineering so impressing Ettore Bugatti that Mays was provided with a second Brescia for the season of 1924, thus providing him with the need to differentiate between his two Bugattis. The Brescia was a 1500cc 16-valve 4-cylinder sporting car, the competition models being Type 13s in the Bugatti numbering system. They won the voiturette race at Brescia in 1921, to earn the title, and Mays made his debut with his Brescia at the Laindon hill-climb, facing Leon Cushman and Eddie Hall in similar cars, and placed second in his class. By the end of the 1922 season, Mays and the striking blue-grey Bugatti had become extremely competitive. During the winter of 192223, Mays began a modification programme on the Bugatti, working with Amherst Villiers, a brilliant engineering friend from Cambridge days. Mays wanted a â€˜super hill-climb carâ€™ and Villiers designed new pistons and camshaft, and made other

modifications to boost the Bugatti’s engine from a rev limit of 4300 rpm to over 6000 rpm – an almost unheard of figure in those days. Running specially-brewed RD2 alcohol fuel – it cost over six shillings a gallon in those days, which was regarded as insanely expensive – Mays found that he had the super-car he wanted, but there were development problems with bearings. Villiers was also an accomplished painter, having produced portraits of subjects as diverse as Graham Hill and James Bond creator, Ian Fleming. It was Villiers who designed a fictional car to fit the role of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which Fleming was using as the theme for a children’s book. His painting of Mays at speed in the Brescia Bugatti was used by G. H. Mumm in a presentation, and a poster for the Prescott Hill-Climb that summer. M. Lefrere, in Bugatti’s London agency, was most impressed and at the Show he A.J. Foyt and Dan Gurney after winning Le Mans. Photo - Terry Marshall

gave Mays a personal letter of introduction to Le Patron, Ettore Bugatti. Bugatti invited the young Englishman to the Molsheim factory, emphasising that he bring his Brescia with him. Mays senior was delighted at his son’s newfound success and financed the trip to Molsheim, including taking the modified car for Bugatti’s inspection. Ettore stood by the road-side, stop-watch in hand, as Mays performed shatteringly noisy acceleration and speed tests on the main Molsheim-Strasbourg road. Bugatti seemed delighted to hear such a frenzied scream from one of his baby Brescias, and he drove the car back to the works with Mays as a reluctant and petrified passenger. A new deal was signed and sealed immediately. Amherst Villiers was seconded to the factory to assist in rebuilding the existing car, and in preparing the new one. Development work continued on Rouge while Bleu was slowly brought into line with its modified19232 specification, using a similarly tuned engine, gearbox and transmission. Villiers and Ayliffe, the team’s mechanic, worked long and hard on the cars, Mays helping on evenings away from the wool business. Bleu was po-

tentially faster than Rouge with its later engine, but it mixed success with misfortune, winning at South Harting and throwing a rear wheel at Caerphilly. After this hairraising ‘moment’ the car was set aside for axle shaft changes, while Rouge howled from strength to strength, winning all over the country. Mays loses wheel on Brescia at Caerphilly The Brescia Bugattis finally ran out of hill-climb in 1920s. hours and engines and Mays moved on, but he had brought champagne and sponsorship to motor racing, making history as he did so. Dan Gurney might have been the first driver to spray the crowd after a race win in 1967, but Bernie Ecclestone made an extra little bit of history, whether he realised it or not, by bringing Cordon Rouge back into the motorsport winner’s circle!

Brass Monkey Run, 2020 Our first event since Lockdown was most pleasant and very well patronised. It was heartening prior to the start, to see everyone catching up with each other again. Quite a lot of mechanical overhauling, tinkering, touching up, and embellishing seemed to have occurred during Lockdown! Marty and Lyn had been busy setting the course, which took us all over the place. There were plenty of interesting questions, with visits to some of the new developments in our lovely town. The latter part of the journey leads us along the waterfront, just as the sun was setting on a surprisingly not too cold and still shortest day. A delicious dinner at the Fine Fettle followed, combined with plenty of conversation and tasty mulled wine. (Thanks Lyn) Congratulations to Neil and Lorraine, together with their two passengers, who came first, with all answers correct.

The 1959 Ford Thunderbird … location Key West, Florida USA Original oil on canvas by Don Packwood. Currently for sale at the International Art Centre. www.donpackwood.co.nz

Although the 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird had proved successful (in comparison to the Chevrolet Corvette), Ford executives—particularly Robert McNamara— still felt its overall sales volume had room to improve. Market research suggested sales of the Thunderbird were limited by its two-seat configuration, making it unsuitable for families. As a response, Ford executives decided to add a rear seat to the Thunderbird. The new Thunderbird had a distinct new styling theme. The design was driven entirely by the styling department and approved before the engineering was considered. The design was one of two proposals, styled primarily by Joe Oros, who later worked on the 1964 Ford Mustang. However, the losing proposal, styled by Elwood Engel, would gain its own place in Ford Motor Company history: after minor revisions, it would become the 1961 Lincoln Continental. JULY 2020
