** September 27th Manawatu Swap Meet at Manfield, Fielding, note new date, late change. Great event undercover.

October holds much enchantment as there is revisit to a famous motorcycle collection. Full details will be provided soon.

November with fine weather compared to the last month will have us trimming our jib to berth and view a Classic Sailing Vessel in all its finery ( nautical accurments).

December has the scent in the air of a hillclimb, an invitational event suitable for vintage narrow tyres and pronounced ground clearence and farm roads.

.The 2025 R’oil Can Rally.

The rally morning started off crisp and clear. We all gathered at the Gibbs Farm Kaukapakapa.

After the pre rally briefing, everybody was despatched to go and feed the giraffes, before trundling around the farm perimeter track and looking at the sculptures.

Rally start was at the exit gate and so onto the morning tea stop. The roads were good, having been recently graded. Even so, still very twisty and a challenge even for the best of them.

Morning tea was at the Tapora School, who laid on a magnificent spread. In fact, it became very difficult to lever them away for the 2nd leg.

Everyone got away except Colin Storey whose MG had a puncture. Previously he had been late to get to the start due to having to fix a locking rear brake. Puncture repaired, off we set. About 5kms down the road Colin pulled over and due to all his problems decided to pull out, as he did not want to continue without a spare. Sorry to see him go. Now to catch up with the tail enders.

The 2nd leg entailed a little tar seal work, but how else can you get north? Back onto the gravel again the roads were in good condition enabling good average speeds. After we had negotiated the closed road on the Golden Stairs Road, a few rain showers appeared to dampen the day. As Tail End Charlie we came across Rob Chapman and his Riley who was down to about 15kmh and with only a little screen he could not see where he was going. We followed for about 200 meters and the rain stopped so off he went. We then caught up with I think it was Steven and Tracey Winterbottom who was going at a good pace, in fact cornering better than me as I was experiencing a bit of oversteer. All went well till we came to a left turn and he carried straight on. No amount of tooting and waving could attract him. So c’est la vie.

We then came up behind I think it was Les and Helen Duggan in their Ford ‘A’ who was following Kaaren in her Spitfire. We followed them into the lunch break at the Mangakahia School. Again, a good spread had been laid on by their Kapa Haka group.

After lunch the 3rd and final leg. The first 30kms was on tar seal. About 8kms in we came across Peter Alderdice in his Oakland. It seems he had managed to get some dirty fuel and it was clogging up his carburettor. We waited with our hazard warning lights going until he had got it going again. This we did several times until he decided to head straight up route 12 to the hotel once it was running, so we left him there. Turned left at Twin Bridges to head to Donelly’s Crossing. Again, the roads were mainly in good condition. A very windy twisty, section concentration a must. Then we came across Les and Helen parked behind Kaaren Smylie whose exhaust had become detached. I again parked behind with hazard lights blinking. Exhaust re attached and off we set. A bit further on again the pair were stopped this time to refuel Kaaren’s little Spitfire. All’s well we set off not far now. Just after turning left Les, Helen and Kaaren stopped and wanted to pull out and find the main road.

I pointed out we were only 4kms from the main road if we stuck to the route. By this time, it was starting to get dark. We hit Route 12 and headed off on the final 30kms to the finish. We noticed that Kaaren had not put her lights on, however we forged on. A hair raising last 20kms for Kaaren as her lights did not work. However, all’s well that ends well. Finally, pulled into the Hotel.

Off for a quick refreshing shower before gathering at the bar to hear all tales of woe. At this time still no Peter Alderdice and friends. (aka The Three Tenors). Dinner at 7.00pm.

As we started our first course in came the Three Tenor’s to a rousing cheer.

After dinner it was time to announce the winner of the coveted holy grail of the rally world.

I quickly got up and locked the dining room doors to ensure no escapees.

Our winner was unceremoniously dragged to the front to receive their award.

Death threats were made, in jest, I hope. Eventually the evening broke up and every one slipped off to a well-earned sleep.

Breakfast was a lavish a fare with eggs, bacon, beans, mushrooms, and hash browns, Or for the lesser gluttons amongst us, fruit and cereal.

All suitably fed, now just a gentle ride home.

After thoughts.

The fact that Peter and the other of the Three Tenors persevered and made it to the finish must be applauded. Ray Ferner in the diminutive BSA, what a brave effort. Kaaren in her Spitfire the only Lady driver also must be applauded for her effort. I know there must be others but as tail end Charlie I only get one perspective.

Thank God that’s over.

R’Oil Can Rally 26th July 2025

Photography by Scott Davidson, Alex & Sacha Disher, Ian & Jacqui Goldingham.

Saturday morning dawned with a red sky, how do I know? Because I was up early, dressed in layers of wet weather gear about to head to our starting point for the 2025 R’Oil Can Rally, Gibbs Farm 47km North of Auckland at Kiapara Habour, so our first clue is we must be heading to the winterless North.

For weeks Morley has been worried that we didn’t have enough entries and as a last resort Tin-tops will be allowed Waitemata Branches premiere top-down event but in typical Waitemataite fashion a full field of Branch members and FOB’s finally fronts up!

We turn into Gibbs Farm, to a pretty impressive line-up of Vintage and classic open cars and a GIRAFFE (it’s a bit early in the morning for Giraffes and Lamas even for the Waitemata branch) Yep Gibbs Farm isn’t your usual farm and team Morley have managed a Ceremonial Start loop around the sculpture park. https://gibbsfarm.org.nz/

Leg One to morning tea stop 68kms.We leave Gibbs Farm wondering what the Faulkner’s have that can bet that start. Stunning dirt roads, freshly graded, Morley must know someone at the council. The roads sweep around the Kaipara hills and coast, a road worth doing again in summer. It is a very pleasant driving, interesting for the driver, scenic for the navigator. Culminating in a very welcome break and a chance to catch up with everyone at Tapora School for morning tea. The School well over catered, we do our best with soups, savouries, sandwiches, cake and scones with lashings of cream and jam. No self-catering on the R’Oil Can!

Leg Two to lunch stop We head east with a suggested fill up for gas a Maungaroto. No petrol stations where we are heading. The instructions say veer left in the Gorge Rd followed by continue on Golden Stairs Road, and then in bold print “Council has been working on this section of the Road, they have assured us there will be access this weekend, please ignore any detour signs and proceed up hill and through the slip works.” Morley’s son Piers is back up crew in a new Jeep Cherokee so we follow the instructions. Driving along the ridge line we can see heavy squalls descending from the Brynderwyns, everyone’s in for a soaking. A quick stop to put on the wet weather gear.

Over the next hours we meet few cars, except the occasional reroute for missed turns. After 143 kms of interesting roads including loose gravel and mud we arrive at Mangakahia School for lunch, this small school gives us a warm welcome and a great lunch.

Leg Three to the Finish. Once again, The Faulkner family cheerfully handout instructions. Only a page and a half, distance 118km. The weather is a bit cooler and it looks like rain. The field spread out quickly and after a few instructions there is the Caution Pot holes and they are not kidding we find a little red Spitfire in one, sans exhaust pipe. Quickly tied back on but sounds a bit throater.

The weather makes for some interesting driving conditions. Soft misty light, buckets of rain that make it so you can’t see through the windscreen, followed by bright rainbows and the inevitable afternoon sunstrike, the strobing effect though bush clad areas. All typical of Mid-winter Rallies no matter which way you are driving and the mark of a good R’Oil Can. The long gravel runs up valley’s roads, left us with no idea where we were going until we turned back on to main road close to our accommodation for the night.

As the golden

of the

are

and

Once the team have all gathered, we head into a well provisioned Buffet dinner & prize giving.

And the winner is Nigel Hunter Russel. (the rumour of a Le Mans start and 40 laps around Loop Rd has not been substantiated!) Thank you to Morley, Piers and the whole Faulkner family for a well thought out and planned 2025 R’Oil. Jacqui Goldingham

VCC Countrywide Daffodil Day for Cancer was held Sunday 24th August.

Up at the crack of dawn on the one day of the week where I usually sleep in and enjoy having breakfast in bed and reading the paper. Off to the North Shore VCC clubrooms to organise my great team of helpers and set up the Registration Table, deposit a few daffodils about the place and get ready for the arrival of many cars who will be registering for the event.

Registration for each entry car is $10 and this money goes to the Cancer Society. A Cancer Society Sticker is given to each entry car for the windscreen. This helps at the end of the run where marshals at Matakana check the windscreen and park the cars that have a ticket showing.

By 9.30am we are running out of car parking space so we decide to set the registered cars off at 30 second intervals. Instructions were given as each car rolled up to the start gate.

Starting the event for the first time at the North Shore Branch VCC clubrooms was rather pleasant, good indoor space for the registration table, good indoor toilets and a cuppa and biscuit for a gold coin was also available. We also had the luxury of an entry gate and an exit gate so getting the cars in and out of the property was a very smoothly run operation.

Instructions, plotted by the North Shore Branch VCC, sent the cars on a back route to Matakana where the Warkworth/Wellsford Branch VCC took over by organising the parking area near the Matakana School. Matakana Village is delighted to be hosting the car show part of the day and the car park is excellent and only a couple of minutes’ walk from the carpark to the village centre.

A Banner that was erected a week ago advertised a "Cancer Society Car Show coming next Sunday" gave out good publicity and the public made the most of it.

FORD New Zealand were sponsors throughout the country and all branches of the VCC had vintage cars on display at their local Ford Dealerships.

A huge thank you to my team of helpers.

The event covers three Branches of the Vintage Car Club of NZ; the Waitemata, North Shore and Warkworth/Wellsford Branches

The Chairmans Report.

Well spring has sprung. September is also the date of our yearly WOFs for our vintage cars. Having taken my modern to VTNZ for a WOF this week. I asked what date of this legislation coming in and was a little bit perplexed when told this was indeed September however from what date in the month they had not been told. A quick call later to NZTA confirmed 1st September 2025 was the transition date to yearly WOFs. So just check you have been issued a 12month WOF after the 1st.

We have a busy late September with a visit to Ardmore to view vintage planes with the Austin Register. Later in the evening Ryders Run with a meal and movie. We do not plan events to clash; circumstances and availability sometimes are unavoidable. However, both events are very doable on the day. So, if possible, please make the effort to attend both.

Rob Chapman

I have returned from temperate climes, the deep winter of the Cook Islands, with the mercury at a near constant 25 degrees. Time was spent watching the traditional dance and singing competitions, supporting the Northern Groups, in particular Manihiki/ Rakahanga teams consisting of relatives. I feasted well on Ika Mata (raw fish in coconut, lime, onions and cucumber) fish of all types including marlin, tuna, mahi-mahi, parrot fish and albacore. Paw-paw, taro, utu, cassava and breadfruit added to the mix. Another project related to ‘akapapa, genealogy with long discussions on family related histories and linguistics. From the National Archives in the Cooks, I received support on my research and publishing that will follow. I also renewed my passport residency to the Cook Islands.

As expected, I looked into local motoring history and have a few tales to pass on. Seeking something of a sporting heritage, I was told by my nephew of an old sportscar that was about to recycled. Apon hearing this I made my way by foot, (I choose to do this as I am need of exercise) to the scrap yard and behold, perched on top of a stack of rusty containers was a fibreglass bodied car. I remember in the 1980’s the popularity of kit cars and the variety that were in Auckland. I had been told that it had Triumph Herald parts in it. In that period, I was a supplier of aero screens which I made up at home as a cottage industry and I supplied Chevron in Onehunga and Fraiser (who made the Lotus 7 styled cars). This one was different and from its overall shape reminded me of the Lynx, mid 80’s, which came from West Auckland. There seemed little interest in selling the remains from my discussions, but later my nephew said that he could negotiate on my behalf as he knew the owners of the scrap yard. I could not examine it close up but it appears to have a complete body with wings, mag wheels and full with windscreen. It should not pose and problems to an enthusiast. I can pass on the details.

Another thing the nephew spoke of was photos of the Rarotonga Motor Cycle Club of the 1940’s. Off again to look for the Rarotongan Rental Cars and Bikes. Behold, when I arrived, there on the wall was a set of photos of the 1948 Rarotonga Motorcycle Club with a dusky maiden in full dance costume standing on a post war BSA. The majority of the bikes were BSA side valves, a few twin port two strokes and I would surmise a lot of BSA bicycles. The pictures are included. At this time there were a number of men who had served in the Māori Battalion and with the Second and Third Divisions in the NZ Army and as such had been dispatch riders and had trained in mechanical transport and part of their service in the forces. Remember that there were almost several hundred had served in World War One in NZ and other forces. By the look of the bikes and considering the period, the BSA factory would have re-commissioned a lot of ex-services bikes to allow time to make and develop new models. Quick rebuild and paint would have been the call. As the UK was in severe debt post war, it was a case of export anything to get the country back into production as material was limited to those that could ship stuff out. Talking to the older papa’s, they did say that bikes were common in the 1950’s and 60’s and the motorcycle club was active. There were a few 650 twins mentioned. There is only a 40 km ring road around the island with another small inner road. At that time, it was coralline sand and a bit of road metal but still the bikes were enjoyed. No old bikes have been mentioned of when I spoke to people. There is a few Harleys, 885 Sportsters and occasional 1250. There still is perhaps a Bentley Mk6 rotting away in a shed.

Please help identify the motorcycles as there are experts out there.

2025 VCCNZ AGM Waitemata Delegates Report

The VCC’S 2025 AGM was hosted by Southland Branch and the famous “Southern Spirit” hospitality was in full force. The weekend conference was based out of the Ascot Hotel Conference Centre on the Eastern side of Invercargill. Chairman Warren with his willing and able team did a sterling job. They even put on an extra day of local tours on the Friday before the AGM so that the long trip South was worthwhile.

As usual on Friday evening there was the meeting of the Executive i.e. all the branch delegates and the management committee. 33 Branch’s attended which was good to see. We proceeded to work through the agenda at a steady rate. Murray Trounson presented the financial reports and outlined the developments from the successful sale of the old Administration Office in Aberdeen St. The 2024/2025 financial year ended with a net surplus of $120,000; this was achieved by the sale of the old premises in Aberdeen Street. The sale price exceeded expectations which combined with the original earthquake payout, almost offset the costs of the new offices. Consequently, subscriptions are unchanged and the budget for the 2025/26 year was approved.

Don Muller reported on the relocation of the Club Archives into its new separate building adjacent to the National Office in Meadows St, Papanui. Don & Marlene Muller were awarded the Presidential Award for their monumental work in moving and setting up the new Archive building at 4 Meadow Street. This operation is expected to be finished in time for the official opening of the new offices in early October this year.

Gisborne, Wellsford & Wellington Branch’s letters of concern were raised and the issue of resolving their motion meant the Chairman stepped aside and Andrew Fox chaired the meeting, so it could be dealt with before the AGM. After a robust but focussed discussion, most points were dealt with in a positive manner, possibly not to the total satisfaction of all those concerned.

Ray Robertson of Nelson Branch gave us an update on progress with the Vero 2026 Rally at Trafalgar Park. The number of entries is now up to 714 plus. He also reported that nearly all the planned rally routes and roads are still viable despite the heavy damage to the region. There is also a post Rally 4-day tour to Golden Bay being promulgated if there is enough interest.

Saturday’s AGM started off with local MC Gerry Forde, warming us up with the most energetic and inspirational welcome, to Invercargill, that I have seen in a long time. It was a hard act for Garry Jackson of the NZ Federation of Motoring Clubs to follow, as he filled in the final leg of the story of achieving the recent joint success with the VCCNZ over NZTA’s 12-month WOFs. Garry has also spoken to Paul Goldsmith the Minister for Heritage, about pushing forward the concept of our vehicle’s “Heritage” value and the idea that they are in effect moving monuments, despite the fact that the Ministry of Heritage currently only deals with fixed assets and infrastructure.

Presentation of the John L. Goddard Trophy to Mrs. Elizabeth Smits Brouwer.

The John L. Goddard Trophy was presented to Mrs Elizabeth Smits Brouwer and her late husband Fred of Wellington Branch for their inspiring travels around the world in their 1958 Mercedes Saloon. These epic adventures from 2014 to 2024 have been regularly featured on the VCC’s Facebook page as Classic Strider and have promoted vintage motoring and New Zealand worldwide. In the past financial year, the following presentations have been made: 34 - 50 Year Badges, 13 - 60 Year Badges, no 70 Year Badges; Andrew Anderson remains their only 75-year awardee.

The following national events for 2026 have now been locked into the Calendar of Events. The 2026 North Island Easter Rally was to be run by Horowhenua but they have withdrawn their proposal.

The 2026 AGM will be held at Palmerston North hosted by the mighty Manawatu Branch

The 2027 South Island Easter Rally will be held by Otago Branch.

We then moved on to the notice of motion covering our new Constitution for the Incorporated Societies Act 1st July 2023 to change our management and governance structure. The New Constitution vote passed by 86% which was voted on by 20% of the available membership! Appalling as that sounds, that figure was pleasingly double the usual voting numbers! So, I guess one has to be thankful for small mercies. Anyway, we now have to move quickly on to the Bylaws which hopefully will go through, in conjunction with the new constitution. I will say that this is where the meat and potatoes of our ability to project and protect our branch powers lie and we need not be shy in affirming what we want to see in the Bylaws.* (See clarification below)

I would dearly like to see more consultation with other branches so that we present a common front that will reinforce our needs rather than the splinter effect that individual offerings have when they go back to National Office. Your branch subcommittee have been tasked once again, with discussing the bylaws aspect of these changes. This will include members discussions about changes to our Bylaws at our Club Night over the next 2 months before we send the branches feedback to the President by the end of October.

Finally, that night after dinner, we were treated to a brilliant talk by Noel Atley a local engineer who was responsible for building the two “working” replicas of Bert Munroe’s Speed Record Indian motorbike and then working closely with the film crew while making the World’s Fastest Indian on location in Utah and Invercargill.

Ian Goldingham Branch Delegate & Jacqui Goldingham Branch Observer

*Clarification about the By-Laws now that the Constitution has been adopted. The Draft By-laws need our Branch Committee’s feedback by the end of October. We have been supplied with Draft By-laws and will submit our feedback on your behalf; if you would like a copy or to make a submission, please contact myself or our secretary, Jacqui.

I want to clarify that there are two types of voting:

1. Day to day ‘Management Items’ will be voted on by the 13-person National Committee,

2. Voting on ‘Governance Items’ includes all branches votes; our Regional Representative (after discussions with our branch) will cast ours and the other

branches (in our region) votes on our behalf. This model gives the branches 84% of any ‘governance aka weighted’ vote.

Hopefully you have kept your Notice of Motion Booklet which came out in the June Beaded Wheels – pages 21 & 22 talk about the proposed by-laws. On page 22, 7.1 outlines what matters require a ‘weighted’ vote. This new structure does not come into force until after the 2026 AGM in August next year.

The Vehicle Technical Committee presented a discussion paper seeking guidance – I have pasted their submission below:

The Vehicle Technical Committee (VTC) would like to receive feedback/ thoughts and constructive criticism from the executive and membership about certain vehicles which now have a major component (i.e. engine) over 30 years old. As we all know and appreciate the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand main objective is to drive our history as well as encourage the preservation, restoration, fellowship and promoting a knowledge of motoring history. Under this we include our vehicles over 30 years old from its original date of manufacture, regardless of make or model presuming vehicles are well maintained original examples, completely restored vehicles or vehicles built to a period appropriate standard. Just recently we the VTC have had a vehicle pending a 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 1930’s Ford. The question is should we the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand allow such vehicles in our club perhaps with LVVTA certification and not be eligible for competition trophies. Naturally discussion followed; possibly have them in a separate class designated as B2 classification (due to age of parts or vehicle)? What are your thoughts?

A fictitious observation on what can happen when donning the Hi-Vis Vest.

By the Power invested in Me!!

On being called upon to marshal I proceeded to the committee tent to collect my Hi Vis vest, and receive my instructions. Dispatched to car parking. All is going well until John turns up in his Roller. Did not stop as instructed, so I had to jump in front to force a stop. I went round to the side window, had to knock on it to get John to wind it down. At this point one has to establish one authority. "What's your game John, didn't you see me waving you down, or are you to high up there to see." John " No, I didn't see you after all you’re not very big." Me! I cut a fine figure of a man at 5ft2" especially in my Hi-Vis Vest. "Tickets." "OK park over there". John " I don't like your attitude my man I will be reporting you to the authorities. "Well, I'm the authority here John and I say park over there, now move it."

John has now set the trend for the rest of the day as I now concentrate all my efforts in parking all the rest of the cars around John's Roller ensuring that he will be last to leave tonight. A good day’s work done, back to committee tent to return my Cape of Authority. What a relief I feel as the weight of all that responsibility I removed. now for a nice cold beer. I head off to the refreshment tent only to be confronted by some jumped up Fascist in a Hi-Vis vest who will not allow me in as I have no Pass. BOLLOCKS.
