So another month has gone by and I hear some dissatisfaction with the changes that national office is making which will soon come through to us. All the changes are necessary and some are due to complaints from delegates and some, like being able to co opt a treasurer and secretary, are more specialized positions that are hard to get the right person for. I look forward to these coming through to us.

The committee is also wanting more members to come forward and organise runs or we won’t be running so many. It is not the committee’s job to do this and we need some new life in what we do.

The last month has been a quieter month but this month has more activity so get out and join in before winter hits any more. Check what is on and join the group.

The AGM is coming up in June so please consider coming on board as we need some new ideas and fresh blood.

Enjoy the month ahead.

2024 South Island Easter Rally and after tour to Golden Bay

The Easter Rally this year was hosted by the Nelson Branch over the weekend of the 29th March – 1st April with just over 90 entries. Otago Branch was represented by Gil & Ruth Edmunds in their 1980 Mini Clubman, Bernie & Elaine Horn in their1964 Van Der Plas Princess and Mark & I in our 1973

MGB-GT. If this week was an indication of what to expect at the International Rally in 2026 – I would definitely recommend that you look at entering as there is some amazing countryside and roads up there to explore.

Mark and I chose to travel north a couple of days earlier and spend some time in Westport before heading into Richmond where the rally was based. We decided to drop the ‘S’ from Westport as it rained nearly all the time, however we can recommend the Coal Museum based at the I Site as an interesting place to visit – and stay dry.

Saturday started with morning tea at the clubrooms before we were flagged away by Lord Nelson. We had chosen the long route which took us through the Waimea Forest area and back up to Wakefield before turning off the main road again towards the outskirts of St Arnauds. Heading back towards SH6 we turned off at Kohatu and travelled up the Motueka Valley criss-crossing the river which included a photo on a historic bridge. Lunch was at the Sports Centre in Motueka. The afternoon run included travelling through Mapua and the Moutere Highway back to the clubrooms.

Sunday was based at the show grounds in Richmond where we had the field tests, concours and public display followed with the prize giving dinner at Club Waimea where Gil and Ruth were announced as the winners of not only the P60 prize and recipients of the PGG Trophy as the overall winners.

The Pennzoil Trophy was awarded to Canterbury branch while the Townshend Trophy for the concours went to Shane Backhouse from Canterbury branch in his 1937 Packard 115C. The evening entertainment was a group called Histronics doing a hilarious skit based on the TV show“Allo Allo”. Very clever, although Rene’ looked very similar to Lord Nelson……

The after tour through to Golden Bay was organised by Jim and Kyra Wareing. Starting at the club rooms on the Tuesday, we made our way towards Takaka with the lunch stop at the Ngarua Caves near the top of the Takaka Hill where there was the option to take a tour of the caves. Have a chat to Gil and Ruth if you want to find out more. Wednesday included a visit to Paul Sangster’s Museum in Takaka. Mark and I had been there in 2009 and the collection has certainly grown a lot since then.

2024 South Island Easter Rally and after tour to Golden Bay

You need to spend hours there to take it all in as I walked around the collection at least 3 times and saw something different each time. Our next stop was the Pupu Springs which was a pleasant walk from the car park to the Springs followed by lunch at the Mussel Inn. After lunch included a stop at Anathoth Pottery where a few purchases were made, the Rockville Museum followed by afternoon tea at the Langford Store & PO which is one of the oldest working post offices in New Zealand.

Mark and I had been looking forward to the Thursday run as this was the Farewell Spit Tour to the light house for lunch. This was an interesting tour which included a lot of history of the area plus we got to see lot of bird life plus a playful juvenile Sea Lion. We would definitely recommend this if you go up to Golden Bay.

1,330 miles since leaving Mosgiel, we arrived home after a great 10 days away. Thank you to the Nelson branch and Jim &Kyra for a fantastic rally and after tour – we’ll definitely be back in 2026.

Otago Rally

Thank you to our team of two who manned the road blocks on Stage 10 on Taieri Beach Road early on Sunday morning and the six of us who manned the road blocks on Stage 15 on Akatore Road on Sunday 14th of April. We were spoilt with a nice calm autumn day and mostly sunshine. It was gratifying to see the rally teams waving as they passed through the end of the road block on to the way to the next stage. One gentleman who had left Timaru early that morning was hoping to be able to drive down Akatore Road to complete one of his bucket list items. A road he had last been on some 55 years earlier. Sadly, we had to redirect him back through Taieri Mouth and over to Waihola. He indicated that he would be coming back to do this road in the very near future. All in all a well behaved group of motorists at the top of Akatore Road. I got roped into helping with marshalling some years ago when I decided I would like to see some of the terrain our son would be competing ononly watching him one time when travelling over one of the forestry stages with an awful long drop down the side of the track if traction was lost. I still enjoy being able to assist with this and meeting different people along the way.

Marion

From David Mills That wasn't your normal sort of pothole...was it?

Ladies Run 2024.

Time to turn the tables!

Ladies, it’s time to wrench the steering wheel away from your ‘significant other’ and assign them to the navigating duties for the 2024 Ladies Run scheduled for Sunday 19 May and kicking off at 1.30pm.

(The entry form is in this edition of Roadrunner - see page 17)

The run is being combined with the restoration rally.We are planning a relaxed run in the west harbour area and are including a mixture of general knowledge and motoring questions relating to the route to answer. Outwitting Dr Google will be the organiser’s challenge! The prize giving and afternoon tea will follow at the Clubrooms.

The Committee are looking to lift the profile of this event on our Rally calendar so if you haven’t driven it before make this your first time! Just to keep you reading I have researched a number of fun facts about women in motorsport

There have been five women in Formula 1. The first was Maria Teresa de Filippis who was a works driver for Maserati in 1958 and 1959.

The most successful woman in Formula 1 was Lela Lombardi, an Italian who scored half a point for 6th in a shortened 1975 Spanish GP.

Arguably the most versatile and successful woman is Danica Patrick, an American who had a very successful career across Indycar and NASCAR racing in the United States. She is now a commentator in Formula 1.

While we have our own Emma Gilmore, Michelle Mouton paved the way for women in modern rallying with her second placing in the WRC in 1982 for Audi. Before her, in the 1950s and 60s, Pat Moss-Carlsson, Stirling’s sister, was a household name in European rallying.

And. The fastest woman on earth is Kitty O’Neil who piloted her jet powered car at 512mph in the Alvord Desert in Oregan in 1976. She also set an outright water ski speed record of 104 mph.

While the Ladies Run is unlikely to get you into the record books, it should be good fun. See you on 19th May. Trevor Kempton

OTAGO VINTAGE CAR CLUB RESTORATION TROPHY /ACHIEVEMENTAWARDS

The main function of the event is to encourage all financial Otago Branch members to present their restored, VCC club eligible vehicles, and for all club members to witness and celebrate the occasion, and generally have a fun day.

All entrants will be required to present their vehicle at the venue and provide a restoration resume with the vehicle.

At the completion of the formal procedure, all entrants may join with other members in a non-competitive restoration run.

*This is the only qualifying requirement for the issue of the Restoration Achievement Award, which will be presented later in the day.

Please Contact Branch Secretary for the appropriate paperwork that needs to be completed before the event if you are bringing a vehicle for consideration of the Restoration Trophy. As soon as possible.

Snippet from Bill Veitch…

1942 A TOUGH TEST FOR BSA

An unexpected test of stamina of a light British motor-cycle was recently provided by a German pilot. He dropped a bomb along-side a BSA that had been propped up against a wall, and when the owner returned all he could find was a bomb-crater.

The cycle, a 350cc model, was eventually found in a field 120 yards away, having been blown clean over a house. Apparently, it had landed squarely on its wheels, which were badly buckled, but apart from the loss of the gearbox, the machine remained intact and neither the forks nor the frame was broken although the forks themselves were L-shaped.

Restoration awards/rally Ladies Run

ENTRY FEE: ($5.00 per vehicle) – Pay on the day.

Entries Close: Thursday 16 May 2024

To Enter: Post to VCC Otago Branch, 125 Forbury Road, Saint Clair, Dunedin 9012 or scan and email to catjkempton@gmail.com or: leave entry with Trevor Kempton or Bill Veitch at Wednesday morning cuppa.

The Restoration awards will be competed for in two sections :

Restoration Achievement Award

This award will be issued to all entrants who have entered a club eligible vehicle for the event, irrespective of whether the vehicle has been restored, or an original vehicle ‘tidied up’.

To qualify for acceptance, vehicles must have been returned to use, warranted, registered and/or licensed, if applicable before the 31st April 2024

There is no judging associated with this award.

The award will be presented to all entrants to acknowledge the commitment and attainment of the member in making a club eligible vehicle roadworthy.

Applications for Restored Vehicles which are not registered to be road worthy – will be considered on application.

Restoration Trophy Award

It will be totally at the discretion of the owner to enter a restored vehicle for judging and to compete for the Restoration Trophy.

To qualify for acceptance for the Restoration Trophy, the vehicle would have undergone a significant restoration, in addition to the requirements in the previous section.

The judging will be carried out by appointed branch members, from 12 midday on day of Rally or a time prearranged by entrant and judges, and would be based on the finish, presentation and accuracy of the vehicle.

The judges will report to the Chief Judge who will adjudicate on any matters arising. The trophy award will be issued to the vehicle judged with the greatest aggregate of points above a ‘bench mark’.

Any vehicle failing to meet these criteria will not be considered for the trophy.

The recipient of the Restoration Trophy will be announced at the Branch Annual Dinner and Prizegiving Evening. No correspondence will be entered into.

All Restoration Trophy entrants will receive a Restoration Achievement Award.

Entry Conditions

The main objective is to have a simple, fair, equitable event with minimal rules, however it has been found necessary to incorporate the following:

The term vehicle is intended to cover all VCC of NZ eligible vehicles..

The Restoration Awards cover the period to 31st April 2024

All entrants will be required to ‘fill in’ and return an entry form, with the historic details of the vehicle, together with before and after restoration photos. These documents will be retained by the Branch to form an informal historic register of our member’s vehicles

The owner of the vehicle must be a financial member of the Branch

All entrants will be required to present their vehicle to the event, and may participate in the restoration run.

All vehicles presented must have a current WOF and registration - non compliance will be considered on application

Once a vehicle has been submitted for either of these awards, it may not be re-submitted for a minimum period of 10 years, unless there are some substantiated reasons ( ie vehicle rebuilt following a major accident or damage).

Guidelines

The vehicle can be rebuilt mechanically leaving desirable original body, frame or paintwork.

The vehicle could be completely rebuilt where necessary in every way including having parts, panels, and running gear renewed.

A vehicle could be restored using parts from vehicles of a similar model and age. A vehicle would not be discounted if the owner had used the services of others to work on parts of the vehicle, because it is not our aim to have the membership completely competent in all skills required for restoration.

A vehicle can be completely rebuilt where necessary in every way, using all the original parts where practical.

A vehicle can also be constructed from parts recovered from other donor vehicles of a similar model and age, bearing in mind the final accuracy.

Replica Vehicles

According to a Club decision a vehicle built entirely or mainly from new parts would be considered a replica and would for Club purposes be dated from the date of manufacture. E.g. New parts of a 1960’s vehicle used in 1999 would constitute a replica dating from 1999. Accordingly this vehicle would not be club eligible until 2029.

NB: It is also the wish of the Branch Committee that all those vehicles presented for the Restoration Award will also be made available for the Otago Branch display at this years Autospectacular on a date yet to be advised Further information will be supplied

LIBRARY NEWS - The library is available to members on Wednesday mornings. Just check that there is a committee member available to assist if needed. Did you know that we get sent copies of ‘The Vintage Sports Car Club” of UK Newsletter on a monthly basis. These are kept in the library and are available for your perusal. Lots of interesting information in them including their events calendar, Sales, Library and information services etc.

Classic Car Magazine is also available for your reading. But it must be returned to the library.

North Otago Branch Lynch- Blosse Memorial Rally 2024

Team Otago comes home empty handed!

From Trevor Kempton

Motorcyclists are a supportive lot. 9 bikes headed north to participate in the Lynch Blosse Memorial rally on 13 April. The rain gods have been good to us for a while but could only come up with low cloud and drizzle on the day. Notwithstanding, around 45 bikers braved the elements; the largest entry this event has had. We might be getting older, but we don’t give in easily!

Team Otago included Kevin Mason on his Francis Barnett with it’s new gears , Bruce Murray out again on his BSA twin, Ken Pledger was on his BSA with Bill Veitch switching to his Norton Dominator. Andrew Roxburgh brought his PV80 Yamaha and Trevor Chalmers the trusty ES2 Norton. Ian Norton’s Gold star BSA added some class while Les Shearer rode his well-travelled Bonneville and Trevor Kempton brought his Suzuki GT750.

A sumptuous morning tea greeted us then we headed out on the morning leg of around 55 miles of interesting country around Enfield, Livingstone and Tokarahi. A greasy road, patches of mud and fresh cow manure along with regular little oil slicks ( probably of British origin) kept us on our toes in the winding sections.

Rally organiser, Robert Hutton, did a deal with the Enfield Hotel who dished up a great lunch. The lunchtime yarn is an essential component of any good ride so keep the Enfield pub in mind when you are out and about.

The afternoon leg went south and east through Kakanui returning up the coast road. A slippery bridge deck caught out a couple of riders who were unable to defy gravity on this occasion but fortunately it was at a slow pace and pride was the main casualty.

On our return we were greeted with, you guessed it, a sumptuous afternoon tea! Robert presented the prizes to everyone but the Otago contingent. A rare slump in form we will be looking to redress!

Snippet …. from John

Noble

COMING up for auction by Lloyds on January 27 is the ‘unicorn’ of NSW number plates.

It’s NSW 1, described by Lloyds as the nation’s most sought-after heritage plate. It already has a bid for more than $ 10 million – and that’s not a typo.

‘After being tightly held for decades by the current custodians and never been offered for public auction before, this heritage “NSW 1” number plate is a unicorn and is the holy grail must-have for any blue-chip passion investor or the no.1 gift for that person who has ‘everything’ the auctioneers say.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald NSW 1 plates were issued to a vehicle of the state’s first Police Commissioner. Then, in the 1930s they were acquired by Sir Frederick Stewart, the Newcastle railwayman turned bus company owner and founding chairman of Australian National Airways, who before his passing in 1961, had them on his Oldsmobile. In 1988 his widow, Lady Majorie Stewart, is said to have declined an offer of $200,000 for them when they were on her 1981 Ford Fairmont LTD. When Lady Stewart passed away in the year 2000, there was great anticipation and hope that the unique plates would come onto the market, but that never happened. Until now.

It is the first time NSW 1 is being offered via public auction in more than 110 years ‘and will probably be the last,’ the auction house says. ‘It is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure the most desirable and prestigious number plates in Australia. Generally rare heritage plates such as these are passed down through generations within families so the significance of this 1 in 100-year bidding event is record breaking in itself.’

The origins of Australian number plates all began with the number 1 and were manufactured in enamel. Every state had only numbers 1 to 9 in single digit form. From 1910 to 1937, serials on registration plates for cars were all-numeric, running from 1 to 274-000, while serials on plates for lorries consisted of the letter L followed by up to five numbers. All plates from 1910 to 1924 consisted of black characters on a white background, with the state abbreviation added in 1912. In 1924, the colour scheme for car plates was reversed, so that they consisted of white characters on a black background. Rear plates are supplied by the government and motorists had to request front plates to be made. License plates were introduced from 1910, as a direct result of England deciding to also implement a car recognition system. From 1936, it was decided that Australian license plates would become uniform in size and use embossing in standard Australian dies, beginning with New South Wales, FCT (now ACT) and Victoria.

A footnote from Lloyds: Due to the extreme rareness and importance of this amazing piece of history, bidders will need to be pre-approved. Any bids made without prior approval will be removed until confirmed. Phone or text 0498 623 629 to register to your bid. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Current bid, by the way, is $10,010,000.
