Chairman’s Report

August has been a very busy month for the Vintage Car Club of NZ. Firstly, the AGM, held in Invercargill. The proposed new Constitution was passed with very few against a change in structure. Southland Branch can be congratulated on their planning of the weekend. It was amazing that it was planned that we had time to visit the Bill Richardson’s Transport World, Motorcycle Meca, the infamous Hayes Hardware Store, the Victoria Gardens, and a bonus for Alan and I, a trip to Bluff with a stop off at a restored picture theatre on the way, and a run to Riverton with lunch at a local café overlooking the ocean.

Yes, Jodi and I attended all the meetings over the weekend and you will be getting a full report from Jodi on the meetings.

Our Branch members can stand tall and proud of themselves with the effort put into making this year’s VCC National Daffodill Day such a success. With the FGS Temple as a backdrop, the great variety of vehicles, both from our Branch and other Car Clubs, made a great picture. As usual, the Buddhist Community welcomed us with enthusiasm and support. The weatherman ignored the forecast of showers, instead granted us sunshine all the time we were there. A queue soon grew as the Charabanc, along with the Chevrolet Enthusiasts Club Bus, gave rides around the block surrounding the Temple.

The centre circle was lined with Fords of all ages. From the latest models on display from South Auckland Motors to Veteran Model T’s from our Branch. We were pleased to welcome Annaliese Atina, Managing Director of Ford NZ who joined us for this event.

On the fringe of the circle was a display of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles from Auckland Harley-Davidson. The surrounding and grassed areas were filled with our Branch vehicles, along with vehicles from the many one make club that joined us for the day.

It was great to have Kaaren Smylie, National Co-ordinator of this annual VCC National event, and Garry Jackson, President of the Federation of Motoring Clubs, join us for the day.

$8,500.00 has been banked and will be forwarded onto the Auckland Cancer Society.

Thank you to the helpers on the day and everyone who turned up to show their vehicles.

A great day was had by all.

Shaaran.

Club Captain’s Log

Thanks to all those who supported Daffodil Day, there will be plenty said elsewhere in the Bulletin, a successful day and a great opportunity to socialise with other one make clubs.

This month is our annual Ladies Run, for everyone to attend, called the Ladies Run because it is traditionally organised by the ladies. This year has been sorted by Marion Morris and her team of able assistants. Come out and have some fun.

October should have you all planning to support the Hunua Spring Tour, this will be the usual full weekend of motoring and celebration. The garden party is always a social highlight and we have members being presented with 50 and 60 year service awards.

I attended the National AGM in August along with Jodi and Shaaran, a good weekend with positive outcomes and discussion on the future for the club; and Invercargill, if you haven't been of late, is well worth a weekend visit. We are so fortunate that many of those who have the means to collect in a very big way are happy to share their collections with the public. Motorcycle Mecca is something else and Transport World another special place - a great legacy left by Bill Richardson, and lucky for NZ that his family continue to look after and extend this wonderful amassing of NZ history.

It was great to see a little more consideration being given to the National Calendar at the AGM, and while clashes are unavoidable, at least we can try hard to avoid clashing between close neighbours and get a little more outside support for events. I will be making contact with our neighbouring Club Captains to start a conversation. There is plenty of motoring around the country to whet your appetite, especially as we head into another summer. We would love to see you out supporting our branch events and I can recommend a number of events outside the branch for good motoring too. Entry Forms when available are always in the "Week Ahead".

I look forward to seeing you out enjoying your vehicles! Tracey.

Lucy from the Cancer Society, happy to be taken for a drive by Karen Molesworth in her 1967 Mustang.

Library Notes

Last month while sorting through the Australian and New Zealand Authors Section of the library, we came across another really interesting book New Zealand Manufactured Cars: A Cottage Industry by Patrick Harlow, a well-known automotive historian with a fascination for unique New Zealand produced cars. The book is a distillation of more than 10 years of research by him about cars that were “commercially” manufactured in New Zealand. Patrick is an avid car constructor, and back in the very early 2000s he had an idea to record the history of the many attempts by kiwis to grow a local automotive industry, before this information is lost. He travelled countless miles around NZ from Whangarei to Invercargill interviewing the people who created or were involved in their production. This is his second book on this subject.

The Trekka is perhaps the most widely known example, as it was clearly the most successful. Originally his idea was to cover the 20 odd cars that were reasonably well-known to have existed, but his deep research uncovered almost 100. To make the list they had to be manufactured, not just exist as a prototype but the selection proved a bit loose and apart from a couple of exceptions, those included reached the production stage. Some cars have been left out as he eventually had to draw the line in order to finish it and publish the book which finally appeared in 2013. It is a wonderful insight into many home grown cars that were and still are, being manufactured in New Zealand almost completely under the radar. The companies that produced these cars were forced to work on meagre budgets and could never afford advertising campaigns to make their cars known. Largely ignored by mainstream motoring magazines they depended on word of mouth and success on the race track to become more widely known. This book looks at these vehicles which make up an important part of our motoring heritage. Many have never appeared in print before.

The author has included both of the Roland Crowther creations; the Sedan from 1968, and his second attempt with the Toiler from 1976 neither of these car went into production, and space in this publication only allows a brief entry about their failure. (Patrick later published a two part series in NZ Classic Car Dec 2019, and

Library Notes

Jan 2020 giving a much greater and highly readable account of the Toiler Project.)

Not included are projects like the ill-fated Anziel Nova, which created a great deal of media interest in the late 1960s with claims that it would be New Zealand’s first mass-produced car.

The book does include cars such as the Heron, inspired by the Lotus Esprit, of which 28 were sold in turnkey form. The Escartus, a car that was going to be a supercar in the early eighties but only a few were built. The Mistral, which was a British body brought into the country in the late fifties and built into a competitive production car using Kiwi ingenuity. Included also is the Saker which is New Zealand's least known supercar, but was built in at least three different countries and has its own racing series called the European Saker Sports Car Challenge.

When he is not writing books, he is doing research and making regular contributions to New Zealand Classic Car Magazine. His third book is a complete history of the Heron MJ1 project was published in 2020.

Very grateful to the Chevrolet Enthusiasts Club for bringing along their bus to give rides too.

Loads of fun!!!

Veteran Section Notes

We started the meeting with a minutes silence in memory of Roslyn Lowe. We received an apology from Phil Henley.

There was some discussion about new Technology and its impact on older people. David Oliver mentioned that he has his 1914 Model T Roadster for sale, as well as its trailer and Jaguar towing car, he has already sold a Ruxtell differential. We were told that Monty Scarborough is in hospital, so we hope he has a good recovery.

David Lane is renewing the brakes on his Model T speedster he sourced new drums locally. He also spoke of an interesting idea where he told children at a car display to see how many times the could find the word Ford displayed on his speedster apparently there are thirteen and the children found ten.

Tim Edney has been using his twin cylinder in the South Island and is looking for a replacement headlamp, unfortunately Auckland branch spares couldn't help. Gavin Welch is holding off getting a WOF for his Model T until the yearly ones come in in September.

John Morrison had an unfortunate experience with his post-war Talbot Lago, the preselect gearbox engaged while John was out of the car, the car met a wall of its own accord doing quite some damage to the Franay coach built front mudguards.

Cedric Pegrum is preparing cars for Daffodil Day. Mat Metcalfe has leased a building which he proposes to turn into a workshop and museum for working on his Hudson projects, he has the correct engine for the ex George Mihaljecih 1912 Gentleman's Roadster and has imported other veteran Hudson bits as well. An aero engine special, based on Hudson parts, will be a long term project.

Roy Sharman produced an interesting veteran ignition switch and David Lane using Google Lens or Siri, or something? was able to identify it as an after market switch for a Model T. Roy also produced an interesting catalogue from a Belgian medal maker, who produced medals for the Belgian army, some of the medals looked very pretty. Barry Birchall and Richard Green are still working on the starter for Barry's 1912 Cadillac.

Russell Vincent is progressing his 1908 single cylinder Cadillac. There was also discussion on the state of the veteran car market, which most agreed was down. this could be a world wide thing with more conventional veteran and vintage period cars, but high-end stuff seems to be holding its own, if not gaining in price.

That's it for this month.

John Stokes

Vintage Section Notes

Murray was unable to chair our meeting due to a family get-together. Before the meeting, he let me know that he had removed the gearbox in his Riley as he was unhappy with the slight shudder from its clutch

Also missing from the meeting was Neville Holland who may have been able to help Trevor Farr with his generator armature from his Model “A”.

John Morrison had managed to find a classic car panel beater to help him repair the accidentality of the modified bodywork on his Talbot. The insurance company had belatedly offered him one of theirs, who purported that he would have the job done within three days!

Richard Green has managed to overcome the occasional slippage on the one-way clutch on Barry Birchall’s 1908 Cadillac starter by putting smaller rollers in the oneway drive clutch, combined with a better set of springs, to replace some nongenuine ones. In testing, Richard has used an extremely long lever to test the drive and has not observed any signs of slippage. He also turned up a short extension to one of the operating levers. In the coming weeks, Richard will fly to Invercargill to assist with the commissioning of the overhauled engine of his Rolls-Royce.

Brian Barclay displayed hub caps for his recently restored Willys wire wheels. Both Brian and Peter Wood regaled the story of the acquisition of the hubcaps, originally for Plymouths. The story went something like this: They were attending a Swap Meet at Hershey and met a gentleman who, rather than park in the car park, decided that it was easier to set up a stall within the swap meet area, but needed to display sale items to qualify. To give him more time to peruse other stall holders, his stall was largely stocked with rusty old bits that nobody would want. I can only assume that the hubcaps were of better quality than other items. Peter has been working on the grill of the Marquette, needing to straighten and remove rust. Upon test fitting, Peter found that the radiator that he had repaired by the late George Mihaeljevich was too deep. Thus, another radiator must undergo a cleaning or re-coring process.

John Cooke received advice from John Towers on how to operate a new-style battery charger.

Tim has been in the process of overhauling a Model “T” Ruckstell two-speed differential. Fortunately, most parts are available ex America.

John Stokes reported earlier in the day that he had attended the Memorial Service for Rosalin Lowe.

He also reported that he had taken both the Whippet and the Buick out for around 50-mile runs without any overheating problems.

Chris Wood regrettably has placed his Austin 20/4 on the market. Apparently, Chris was letting out a house on the farm where he recovered the parts, and one of the applicants was an English immigrant who, during the interview, in his broad English,

Vintage Section Notes

said that he was working as a cabinet maker, but really, he was a coachbuilder. Not only did he get to rent the house but also help Chris with the bodywork of the Austin. How serendipitous.

David Goryl has managed to get the electrics on his Oakland repaired and Don Johnson managed to refit the tank unit on the Falcon. Several others of the group were suffering from “Cold Garage Syndrome”

On a personal level, I have finally managed to fit the overdrive gearbox to the Herald.

Motorcycle Section Notes

When we arrived at the clubrooms we found our guest speaker, Tony Christy already inside with his two motorcycles set-up for the meeting.

Tony took off up to the barn to take a look at the Charabanc and to see all the tools and memorabilia that the spares team have made into a great display for us.

Just after 2pm the rain started, this would account for why we only had 5 bikes parked in the backyard too.

At 2.30pm we started the meeting, I counted 65 in attendance, a very good turnout. Tony’s friend Martin Sharp came along as a visitor, he too has a number of motorcycles.

It was great to see a number of members turn up who had been absent for a while. We welcomed back our great friend Dave Tomkins. Martin usually tells a joke, but did not have one, so Dave told us a good one, and then Jodi Tomlin recited a Pam Ayres style poem ‘’50 Shades of Grey’’ this was very funny.

REPORTS

Martin reported on the last Club Afternoon speaker, who told us about his business that repairs and converts old classic car radios to a modern format including the use of Blue tooth.

Peter Alderdice told us about his and Leo Fowler's recent adventure on the the Waitemata branch’ s “R’Oil Can Rally’’. They were driving their 1924 Oakland, Peter said they had a great weekend away, clocking up 400 miles.

COMING UP

Jodi reminded us that the upcoming weekend is our National Daffodil Rally fundraising event for the Cancer Society. Our event will be a display at the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple, out in Flat Bush. As well as our club vehicles, we also have 11 other Auckland car clubs joining for the display. This should be a great day out.

Martin told us that the August Club Afternoon speaker will be James Duncan, the Tramway Project Manager at MOTAT, he will here to tell us the story of the first electric trams.

Martin then told us about the August motorcycle run that will be going to visit member Graham Viall’s great bike collection on the 31st.

GENERAL BUSINESS

Bernie Bolstad told us about the late ‘ young’ Dave Tomkins very large collection of motorcycle parts that need to be sold. These are some of them – Harley-Davidson

Motorcycle Section Notes

500 single parts, Indian Prince frame and parts, 1924 H-D 10/12 motor, 1929 H-D Peashooter parts enough to build a bike, 1927-29 Indian Scout complete, 1926 Indian Prince piles of rusty bits, Vintage Douglas, plus a large number of Jawa and CZ motorcycles and spare parts.

GUEST SPEAKER

Tony Christy, ex-pom, originally from Royston near Cambridge UK, has had a lifelong passion for motorcycles having completed his training for a local Suzuki & BMW motorcycle dealer. Prior to immigrating, Tony worked for Jamie Porter Ltd, a classic Alfa Romeo garage, although his real enthusiasm was always for bikes.

His father had a large collection, including a 1958 Norton Dominator 99 a machine Tony now proudly owns and which he had displayed for us in the clubrooms. When Tony emigrated to New Zealand, he began working for Warwick Mortimer, maintaining Warwick’s personal collection of classic race cars. In 2018, Tony decided to return to his true passion motorbikes. He joined forces with former world champion Graeme Crosby in Matakana, restoring classics and building race replicas. When Graeme decided to retire last year after many years in the business, Tony took over and established TCR Motorcycles, continuing the tradition of high-quality restoration.

For our meeting, Tony also brought along his 1974 Rickman Honda 750. Built by S&S Performance with a Yoshimura 810cc conversion. It was once described in The UK’s Motorcycle newspaper as “the fastest Honda they had ever tested.” The bike has only 5,000 miles on the clock, and is one of around 300 ever produced. Remarkably, its orange paint is still original. The steel petrol tank had unfortunately rusted out, but thanks to our branch member, Mike Ensor, who scanned the original and had a copy cut out and folded. This now needs to be welded. While in the UK, Tony also sourced an original Triumph TR7 car fuel filler neck exactly what Rickman used back in the day. Tony also has a soft spot for 1970s Yamaha RD350s and RD400s and he displayed one of the engines from his collection.

Tony then answered questions from the floor. Martin then thanked Tony for taking time off from work to come and chat to us and show us two of his bike’s from his collection.

Delegate’s Report

Report on Executive Meeting and AGM, held in Invercargill, 8-10 August 2025.

If your email address is recorded on the National Database, you will have received National President George Kear’s notes on the Executive and AGM Meetings that Shaaran and I attended.

I have attached George’s notes to the email that this Bulletin arrived on. As I was already writing a report, I have continued, focusing on a few topics. I am more than happy to receive your questions or any feedback that I can pass on.

At the Executive Meeting, a discussion paper was presented by Neil Beckenham, as Registrar, looking for recommendations for the Vehicle Technical Committee.

“The Vehicle Technical Committee (VTC) invite feedback from the delegates regarding vehicles with a major component (i.e., engine) that is over 30 years old but is not “original”.

“Just recently, we, the VTC, have had a pending vehicle identity card renewal. This vehicle has had a new ‘Burtz’ Model A engine installed; these Burtz engines are not made by Ford but by Burtz Engineering USA. These engines look exactly the same as the original Ford engines. However, these Burtz engines can produce far more horsepower than the original 1930s Ford A engine.

“It will require Low Volume Vehicle Certification, that’s NZTA's rules, but we also don’t want to knock it back. The question was posed, “Do we create a separate category, where the car can still attend events as a Model A, but it cannot win any Trophies for the event?

“As we all know and appreciate, the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand’s main objective is to “drive our history”, as well as encourage the preservation, restoration, fellowship and promote a knowledge of motoring history.”

These modifications are likely to occur more frequently in the future. There were a number of suggestions along similar lines, and essentially it came down to having a separate category.

It was a common thread that we also do not want to deter potential younger members from joining because vehicles are simply deemed “not original”.

Jodi: Recently, I have heard about members updating/changing systems in their vehicles for safety’s sake. This is entirely understandable. However, I do think that we will likely need to establish a few rules and definitions for this in the future.

Submissions made in relation to 12-month Warrants

It was noted that there were more than 13,000 submissions. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who made the effort to submit – we did make a difference. George also

Delegate’s Report

reiterated a quote that Andy Anderson once made: “With a combined team of 8,000, we CAN effect change.”

National Calendar

Both the North and South Island Club Captains are placing greater emphasis on ensuring each branch is aware of significant events in neighbouring areas and avoiding clashes. Tracey Winterbottom took the opportunity to thank the Club Captains for their efforts and emphasised the importance of this now that turnouts for events are lower than ever. Tracey did note that the lower numbers of today have their benefits. It means it is easier to find venues of interest to visit or end rallies.

Let’s look at the positives, not the negatives.

Tracey will endeavour to connect with the Club Captains in our neighbouring branches to collaborate and avoid clashes.

New National Office

You will be aware that the old, no longer fit-for-purpose, and labelled ‘earthquakeprone building’ was less than an ideal “asset” (if you could call it that). Several years ago, the Management Committee members in Christchurch were tasked with looking for new premises. They finally found an ideal set-up at the end of last year. They had to act fast and were able to secure the property on Meadow Street.

The move to the new offices is now complete. It has been an exciting time for the Management Team and the Office Staff, and also a time of considerable work. They are to be congratulated on achieving such an excellent purchase/sale and move process.

There were a couple of monetary pluses along the way, too. The new property had a combined RV of $1.51 million and was purchased for $1.25 million. The old property had received an EQC payout of $330,000 some years ago. This money has been invested and grown by nearly $100,000 over time. The CV on Aberdeen St, as of the sale time in April, was $345,000, with a formal valuation before the auction putting the value at $440,000. At the auction, there was vigorous bidding up to $500,000, after which the pace slowed to just two bidders, and it ultimately sold for $710,000. Definitely a win-win there!

Updating the National Database

A project is underway to send an online form, via email, in the near future, for you to complete/update your personal and vehicular details in the National Database. This is currently undergoing a testing phase, and a few tweaks are being made.

The form will include the all-important 'allow/disallow detail sharing' option, a crucial checkbox related to the sharing of information under the Privacy Act 2022.

Delegate’s Report

This has been an ongoing frustration to those who are used to having a membership list for reference and contact.

Once this online update is complete, the remaining members who do not receive National correspondence by email will be contacted. If you DO NOT currently receive emails from National Office, Club President or Beaded Wheels, you can let me know, and I can update National Office with your email, then you will be on the list.

The remainder of the meetings focused on routine matters, including acknowledging reports from officers and approving them. Thanks must go to Southland for being extremely hospitable to us all.

Please feel free to contact me about any matters here or in George’s notes.

Thanks Jodi

Daffodil Rally Display

After a lot of work, Sunday, 24th August, proved to be a great success. As always, working with the FGS Buddhist Temple team is so easy.

I invited many Auckland one-make clubs and was really pleased to have 11 accept, another couple turned up on the day. The more the merrier, I say!

Nationally, we received the support of Ford NZ. At the Branch level, we had to approach a dealer then and gauge their interest in being part of the day. South Auckland Motors was the logical choice with showrooms in Botany and Manukau, plus three other locations. Mike and his team were keen to join us.

I chose also to invite Auckland Harley-Davidson to the display. Ray Pratt, owner, was very keen and even went as far as donating a Helmet for a Raffle on the day. This was a generous donation and certainly added to our total dollar collection for the day.

We are really pleased to announce that our final total transferred to the Auckland Cancer Society is $8,500. This increased from the $8,000 we announced the next day, as Ross, a member of our Branch, made a very generous $500 donation just after the email went out.

Thank you to all of you who came out to display your vehicles. We really appreciate your help in making the display a great feast for the eyes. There were almost 180 vehicles on display. The one make club with the highest count of cars present was the Auckland Corvette Club, they had 15 cars on display. They sounded pretty damn awesome, too!

We were also privileged to have a few VIPs visit our show as well. We had Kaaren Smylie, National Coordinator of the Daffodil Rally for the VCC of NZ, Garry Jackson, President of the Federation of Motoring Clubs NZ, Annaliese Atina, Managing Director of Ford NZ, and Lucy Humphreys from the Auckland Cancer Society. It was lovely to welcome them all to our display.

Now to plan next year’s event. We’ ve already got one-make clubs signing up, and the Temple team are very keen to host us again. Wahoo!

THANK YOU ALL
