Club Night 4th March. See you at the RSA Room, King George V Memorial Hall, Library Lane, Albany, 7.00 pm 4th March.
AUCKLAND BRANCH MID-WEEK RUNS Wednesday 17th March. Starts 10.00am at Drury BP for a 10.30 start. Good time to exercise the vehicle, share the trip with a friend, and take your own lunch. Jack Nazer 09 378 4580 Mike Loosemore 02102708848. The Ellerslie Car Show It is now for 30 years this display has been on in Auckland, presenting the Best Dressed of the Day and current tastes in fashion at the time are flaunted and scored. The remarkable Kevin Andrews organised six suitable sporting vehicles to represent the Branch and it reflected its spirit. It was a fine day, perfect of pictures and for sun block. The tent gave shelter and a background for the large banners that gave the Branch its high profile and displaying the identity of the represented marques. Position, position was perfect as we were next to the Bugatti display covering ‘20’s to current. On our site was two MG’s, J2 (Kevin) and the L2 (Mike), two Rileys, the ’31 WD 9 Tourer (Mine) and Stan’s RMA, the ’25 Delage of Max and Mike Hope-Cross ’34 Singer Le Mans. I did the walk around. The Horseless Carriage group were next door. I was very impressed with the almost silent running of the Curved Dash Olds. As a “primitive” vehicle, it was a design which was able to cope with the road conditions and a technology that was able to be maintained to give good service, hence the motors survived doing many other functions such as saw benches and as a portable power source. As I walked around the many displays and club groups it became over whelming. So many Mustangs (a major sponsor), variants of many uninspired makes, and some that struggled to achieve mediocrity.

Looking at some of the more expensive offerings from the top shelf dealers, there seems to be a trend to offer the bizarre. I saw cases where the models are offered in a matt finish in wrap. Is this an attempt to make ‘stealth models’? Specially designed to deflect radar. The Bugatti stand was populated by elegant examples of Molsheim. Friend of the Branch, David Nordell allowed me access to photograph around the Type 43 that he looks after for clients. The details on the finish and construction are a joy to eye. The other cars from around the country are a pleasure to see and their care givers shared the passion and stories these art pieces have led. Ahh, you had to be there on the day. Usual Suspect.

Worshipping at the Altar of Molshiem
Classic Festival Puekohe Feb.6-7 2021. at the of Molshiem Well, of courseWorshing this is anAltar unexpected report for the Branch as one does consider that as sporting vintage motorists there would be no reporting of this event.
As an aged motorcyclist, and having attended the early Classic register events over the years, I felt it my duty to be there with the similarly affected. Unfortunetly, not having a running, apporiate two wheeled transport due to amongst many, many personal failings and an flare up of arthritis in the front brake and throttle hand. Various medications and potions are in trial. One is maserated mussel, which when applied caused dry wretching in a friend which precluded an evening of close embrace Tango. A bit of a blow for the evenings entertainment but must get back on the bike. The trip to Pukekohe along the motorway holds no excitement but the expectations of seeing old friends, the presence of new motorcycles and old P a g e |5

familiar ones, plus the scent of caster oil in the air. Ah, the old familiar tyre kicking, great lies told, nodding sagely as one cannot hear anything over the roar of unbridled power from many exhaust pipes. As I parked the Fairlady and trundled off with the acoutrements for the day in my little pensioner trolley, a younger person cruelly commented that I was a long way from the supermarket. Wounded by such a comment, I took refuge at the Velocette Register tent which offered a chair and company of those afflicted with the requited passion of Velocette ownership. So type cast are we, that all are usually bearded, dressed in black and greet each with the comment “Don’t you love it when your Velo starts first kick?” I braved the noise and headed into the crowd and noticed that I was not alone. The surrounding peoples were close copies. Aged, hirsurite, tatooed, sparsley haired heads, a bit bent over from too many times kissing the tarseal, they wandered around like lost ghosts seeking new varients of their wheeled obsessive passion.The women were similar, stepping off pink Harleys, arms tatooed with floral sleeves, changing to lighter garments away from the leather. It was a hot day. Obtaining a programme and some free dated posters and magazines, I reveiwed the offferings for the day. As is the rule, over the bridge to the pits and look at the traditional combatants; Velocette, Norton ,Triumph and BSA. A must is the Nortons, displayed at the site of the Master, McIntosh, with prepared racers of pre and post war Nortons and other of the varients of McIntosh construction. I meet up with Peter Morelli and his beautifully prepared Vincent Black Lightening (one of fourteen produced). Strolling past the pits I came accross the Branch Chair/ Co-Editor who was assisting a team. We need an article on his previous racing career of many years ago before his conversion to the Marque, Riley. Looking at the list in the programme was Jamie Simpson sponsoring an entry. He is still involved in the racing world. Again, one does expect to see that stalwart of the two strokes, Les Harris and he expressed great interest in enerting the forth coming hillclimb. P a g e |6

There was a nice flyby and aerobatics from two warbirds. A Mk IX Spitfire and a Kittyhawk. I had some Kittyhawk spares a few years ago, tyres and wheels still with tags from Wigram inside. They went to the Wanaka Fighter collection and were fitted as the aircraft they had was on Mustang wheels. As is expected, the interest in the two days spent there , the company, greeting of old friends, meeting new ones and soaking up the atmosphere, the physical experience – the sights and smells are savioured until the next year. I shall return and go through these emotions and sights again. Ed. as usual

A work in Progress: the ‘New ‘ Ansaldo 4CS. A great honour to visit the creation of a new car (actually it is a new body on an existing car). The approach by Vaughan was when recommissioning the 4CS after the mechanical hic-cup that occurred during the Gold Seekers Tour twenty years ago. Having rebuilt the bottom end, balanced and improved the breathing, allowing the car to get near to the performance which the cars were known for in the 1920’s, Vaughan chose an elegant boat tailed, three seater body styled from period design books. Having the worlds spares for Ansaldo cars, he chose to build the new coachwork on a identical chassis which allows him to use the current 4CS untill the new body will be swaped over. The hardware going in, such as door catches and hinges are from the spares, dash and instruments from the current chassis and a new vee windscreen designed to suit the new boby. The concealed hinge fittings, the dash setup and decking with the rear seat reversing to fit into the flush decking are part of the details that make this a work of art. The fitting of the SU carb and new exhaut system allow the breathing to improve with extra midrange torque, causing Vaughan to reconsider the gear ratios. No change is required. It will now become a formidable long distance touring machine suited to the hills and roads of both North and South Island. Remember that Nuvolari started his four wheeled racing in an Ansaldo. No high tech machinery was used, basic trade and hand tools, ply and material at hand. Truly humbling to see such a trade and craftsman at work.

Voice of the Chairman! With vaccination program now getting underway and the most vulnerable being prioritised hopefully we are on our way back to normality. The isolation of Auckland and cancelation of the Art Deco weekend was a real blow. Having booked accommodation for this event months earlier I escaped Auckland for Napier soon after the border restrictions were open. Even though the event was cancelled the Hawkes Bay VCC put on a party resulting in a most enjoyable weekend. Well done HBVCC. At the end of the month we have the Manunui Coastal Hill Climb. A real opportunity to match man against the hill hopefully on each run your time improves. So, get your entries in. Rob Chapman The Editorial Missive. I appear to have completed a six-month period of a testing and tortured time of production of this fine newsletter. I have received support from some of the finest writers that the Branch possesses and have filled in spaces with my own attempts of narrative, and an elderly collection of almost forgotten images. Please continue the supply of material and information for the membership, stories, sagas, and tales are gris to the mill. It is exciting to be informed of new projects that have been completed and now on the road and others that are undergoing gestation and await the breakout of the new one, shiny and squeaky clean to face all weathers and unforgiving roads for the next decades. We as a Branch must be at the vanguard making and recommissioning the cars and bikes of the Proper Period and using them in all seasons.
Celebration of the life of Ray Reece. Ray Reece, a man whom the club has relied on for many years to provide timing equipment, marshals, and walkie-talkies at our Waitemata Branch speed events, passed away during the months of Covid Lock-down. A small family funeral was allowed, and he was buried at the Mangere Cemetery. During his illness I continued making a Friday phone call most weeks and he’d always answer my call with “I’m still here”!! and then chuckle. Ray had requested before he passed, that members of the Waitemata Branch attend his memorial service in their cars, rev them up and generally make a lot of noise. Ray and his team of Marshals helped at Hampton Downs Racetrack, Pukekohe Racetrack, other motorsport facilities and he also had his team marshalling each year at the Auckland Santa Parade. One year he willingly gave up the Marshalling at the Parade so that he could P a g e | 17
PHOENIX Number 304 March 2021
be at our Chelsea Hillclimb. Our events were small in comparison to many he marshalled at, but he always said that we were his favourite. Due to that one clash of dates with the Santa Parade I would ask him for a date that suited him before I’d announce any Waitemata Branch speed event to the membership. We often struggled for members to be marshals as most of them were entrants to whatever the speed event was but with Ray’s team, we always have all point covered. R.I.P. Ray…I thank you for your friendship, dedication, and willingness to always help. Eventually a Memorial Service was allowed, and the family invited Waitemata members to share in the service along with Marshals from Ray’s team, friends, and members from a Motorcycle group. At the appointed hour of 11:00am Sunday 30th January half a dozen Waitemata’ites turned up at Ray’s home in Papatoetoe and we were a little surprised to find a line-up of Harley Davidsons parked opposite the house, but we later learnt that they all belonged to the Ratana Church. A large marquee was standing in the front yard with a trestle table running down the middle and a number of friends and relatives milling about. Some-time later things started to happen, with a minister from the Ratana Church who had arrived on his ginormous Ducati, making a lengthy speech in Maori, followed by a waiata. Then various people spoke of Ray and it was apparent that he was well loved and appreciated for his unstinted giving with little expectation of a reward. Finally, we set off for the cemetery in Mangere, and after a Health & Safety briefing, which basically said that the convoy would be led by the Harley riders and that at traffic lights, outriders would go ahead and stop all the traffic so that we could all get through together. It worked! And we blithely drove through red lights in our convoy. As a passenger in our SP250 I found it rather interesting watching the expressions on the stopped lead cars at the traffic light intersections!! At his graveside we all gathered for further prayers/speeches in Maori and people were given a further chance to speak of Ray. After washing our hands so that our spirits would stay at the cemetery, we were instructed to rev engines and blow horns. I have to say the Harley team certainly drowned Waitemata efforts out, and there was something of a “devil-may-care” feeling of making so much noise in the middle of a large, serene cemetery, where typically one talks in hushed voices, surrounded by the dead. It was also fortuitous that there were no other Burials happening nor were there any other grave mourners there at this very noisy time!! Again, the convoy left the cemetery, led by the Harleys and we followed a similar pattern at traffic lights back to Ray’s home where a late lunch was served and at last, we were able to quell the hunger pangs. All told, something of an extraordinary experience, and something to dine out on! We possibly will never get another opportunity to stop the traffic and feel rather like dignitaries as our motorcade glides along undeterred. A great send-off for Ray. It was interesting to learn so much more about Ray’s Motorsport life and his life in general. He provided services for many more clubs and groups than I or we ever realised.

To pastures new! No one has come to pick up the free tyres (19”) from Rob’s last month advert. I want to add to that some hardly worn trails tyres for a bike (18” and 21”). Come on! There must be sheds in need of new stock that has to be brought in covertly, in darkness, in silence to avoid the prying eyes of the neighbours who suspect one of hoarding and “She who must be obeyed”, keeping her innocent of the need to worry about further purchases on behalf of one’s Beloved.

The Veteran must have. The Compact Primus Outfit No. 1. Made in 1912. Original tin with the containers for kero and meths. A hard item to find. Carries the patina of a life well enjoyed. No safari or expedition to the outer corners of the Empire would be complete without this Jewel of early 20th Century technology. It was Primus, and Scandinavian technology that made the advances into the extreme environments possible at the start of the 20th Century.
For the above material, please contact the Editor. Discretion assured; negotiations welcomed.

Stop press… Mike Worthington-Williams has passed away in the UK. Well known for his writings on obscure makes of English cars and discoveries as well as his columns in many motoring publications over the years and his journeys in his 20hp Austin which he motored with many friends to many events. Motor on to your wheeled Valhalla.
Going to press we have only 10 entries from the Branch for the hill climb. We are famous for the last-minute entries but remember we have to arrange catering and other specialist services to be there on the day. It is one of the major speed events for the North Island and of the Branch since we have lost Chelsea. Mea culpa: I have mis-spelt a name. Sorry to Kris Hope-Cross. The photographs are from my own camera in this issue. # Well,
the return of Covid Level 3 for 7 days in the Auckland region. No Club night, the big Brit Euro car show and the Muriwai event are postponed. Stan’s event is now booked for the 18th of April and we will notify the membership through e-mails of changes as they may occur. The same with the Brit Euro Show and the Muriwai Event. Keep the hands clean, appropriate distancing and don’t buy any more toilet paper and flour until you use the current supply up.
