CHAIRMANS CHAT
By now most of you would have heard of the passing of Jim Smylie - an energetic member and former BOPVCC Chairman.
Jim was widely known not only locally but also nationally as he and his devoted wife Kaaren supported a raft of VCC associated events up and down the country. Jim was a man who crammed an immense amount into his lifespan - far more than the average person. We're all thinking of the Smylie family during this sad time and there's an obituary concerning Jim elsewhere in this issue of Klaxon.
2025 has nearly reached the completion of the first quarter. In that time Club Nites have resumed and in February we had an excellent turn out of members to hear about and view Peter Crow's beautifully rebuilt 1951 MG Y Type.
Cafe Cliff mornings have resumed at the club rooms on Monday mornings and already we've had some good Runs and outings.
It's pleasing to see that there is a good team spirit out there - as members pitch in readily to help if a previous nominated coordinator gets waylaid at the eleventh hour. That's what a successful club is all about.
Looking ahead we have all sorts of events planned with a very full calendar apparent right thru to the end of April.
So keep referring to the Klaxon about key dates that interest you and don't forget to open those Buzz emails prompting these fixtures, and highlighting any last minute changes.

Good quality gasket material offcuts—FREE
Julian Parbery of Bay of Plenty Radiator Specialists is an advertiser in Klaxon.
He has quite a lot of good quality gasket material offcuts. As he dislikes seeing good product wasted so its free to the Club. It is suitable for oil and water, and it is a vintage style gasket which was quite expensive for them to buy.
We need a member to call in to BOP radiators in Te Puke and pick it up,
.Just go to BOP Radiators 259 Jellicoe St Te Puke, and ask for Julian

February end of month run to Turntable Hill Railway – by
Elwyn Pirie
It was a brilliant day weatherwise for this run and we all gathered at the carpark at the Wairoa bridge at 9.15am for the briefing. The BOPVCC had invited the BOP MG club on this run as well and it was great to have them involved with this day out.
We left the carpark and headed for the hills bypassing as much of State Highway 2 as possible. There was a questionnaire for participants to complete as they travelled around the areas. Travelling up Wairoa Road into Crawford Road then into Junction road and arriving in Minden Road at the lookout, turning left into Minden Road and going to the very end of Minden Road. A lot of the members had never been to the end of Minden Road and were surprised to see all the new housing on farms that have been subdivided. A lot of these houses are large mansions with fantastic views over the Bay of Plenty.
We then returned down Minden Road to Te Puna taking in the magnificent views on the way down and we headed to Te Puna Quarry Park for morning tea. We continued back down to Munro Road and back out on to State highway 2 and then turned left into Barrett Road at the Whakamarama Shops. Travelling up Whakamarama Road to near the top we turned into Te Kohanga road and returned back down Whakamarama Road admiring the views from this high point on the run. Turning into Youngson road we travelled down to Old Highway and then into Esdaile Road and into Wainui South Road.
It was then back out on to State Highway 2 for a short distance then into Apata Station Road and the into Turntable Hill Road. We all assembled down at the railway beside the turntable. This is privately owned and not open to the public. We had a short talk by the owner and the volunteers who established this model railway. It was very interesting to see how much work and money has gone into this venture despite several setbacks. The Big boy steam train was absolutely magnificent down to the last detail. We were able to go on rides around the track which was an exceptional experience to see how much they have created.
We then gave out prizes to those who got the questions correct. Everyone was extremely appreciative of the owner and volunteers who gave up their time to entertain and inform us of this achievement.
It was a great day out and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

2025 Eastern Bay of Plenty Rally – Raewyn Fenn.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, it’s February again!
So that must mean that we are off to Whakatane for the Eastern Bay of Plenty Rally, this year plotted by Steve and Joy Growden, so it could be tricky! We left Waihi Beach around 10.30 and after slow travel through the ever-ongoing road works, we finally got to Te Puna around 12 and decided to try out the café at Clarke Road. We used to frequent this café but hadn’t been for a while, preferring the one at 11th Ave in the Mall – till that changed hands as well! We were very surprised to hear that the previous owners of the 11th Ave café, now own Clarke Road Kitchen –and the food and coffee were excellent!
After completing a few jobs in Tauranga, (we try to minimise our trips these days), we headed down the Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road and are a little mystified as to why the price has increased, when the speed is reduced for a large portion of the road due to – more Road Works!
The rest of the journey was uneventful, and we arrived at our accommodation at the same time as the Model A truck “Pops A” from Gisborne and the Bartlett family in their Model A car, also from Gisborne. Later, much later, Les and Helen Duggan arrived in their Mini, successful on their third attempt to leave home in different cars.. Never mind, they persevered and made it. That’s old car motoring, isn’t it?
Saturday dawned as another beautiful day and it was fantastic to see 40 vehicles entered for the EBOP 50th Anniversary Rally. We were soon to learn that Club Stalwart and organiser of the 50year celebration tonight, Phil Leaming, had passed away extremely suddenly on Thursday afternoon, and many club members were stunned! Club President, Bevan Lange, made the announcement at the start of briefing and we all observed a minute silence in Phil’s honour.
We set off at one-minute intervals and soon spotted our first check. Not exactly hidden but beautifully obscured! It had been almost a year since we had taken part in a rally, so concentration was needed to find checks beside power poles, against tree trunks, between two tree trunks, by bridges, immediately around corners and of course, in the long grass. We soon had 10 checks written down and went on to 14, before a note on our instructions told us checks had finished for the day. We continued South to Taneatua, crossing the centreline at the Gull Service Station corner and heading into Tuhoe Country where we eventually arrived back at the starting point, having completed a big circle through some interesting countryside.
Now we headed back into Whakatane and completed a nice piece of straight-lining on our way back to the Paroa Rugby Grounds for lunch. But first a couple of curly questions! What vehicle was on the cover of the current Beaded Wheels etc!
Wow, what a lunch that was provided. All made by a young woman that Steve and Joy know well, there was a bacon and egg pie, a filled roll, a fruit kebab and two pieces of cake each – it was beautiful!
2025 Eastern Bay of Plenty Rally – Raewyn Fenn.
After an hour or so for lunch break, we headed off in a north-westerly direction, Criss-crossing the area as we headed to Te Teko, where we could just see a big new solar power farm hidden behind a paddock of maize.
There were a number of brand new state houses but the thing that amazed us was all the signage – schools, roads, shops etc, all written in Maori! Not an English word to be seen.
After almost an hour and a half, we arrived back at the Paroa Rugby Club again for a nice cuppa and reflection on the day.
Dinner time whizzed around quickly and by 6pm the hall was full of people chatting to friends old and new.
It was great to see entrants from Auckland, Waikato, South Waikato, Horowhenua, Rotorua, Taupō, Gisborne and our 6 cars from Bay of Plenty taking part alongside the Eastern Bay of Plenty members. A huge effort from Norm and Pat Dewhurst and Bob and Debbie Ballantyne from Auckland, when health issues make travel more difficult, but it was so good to catchup with you all.
Another awesome meal was presented by the caterers used in Whakatane. Loads of seafood, four different choices of meat, beautiful salads and roast veges – and that was before dessert!! The fresh fruit salads, pavlovas, trifles and meringue baskets made many a mouth water.
So with full tummies we listened to President Bevan Lange talk about the 50th Anniversary. A number of photograph albums and folders full of relevant newspaper cuttings and stories about the Eastern Bay of Plenty Club, had been lovingly prepared and presented by Gail and Les Costar. Many, many hours of work had been put in there and what a great record for your Club. I know I found them interesting to look through.
Next a 50 year Badge presented to foundation member of the branch was made to Bevan Wesley (the Mustang Man), by VCC Registrar, Neil Beckenham.
Finally a very large and beautifully iced cake was cut, to be shared with those present. We quietly gave thanks to the late Phil Leaming for all his work on this part of the evening.
2025 Eastern Bay of Plenty Rally – Raewyn Fenn.

Hard luck prize: Greg and Jane Oliver – Horowhenua, in a 1939 Fiat Topolino – Car 13 in the rally. They took it off the trailer, started the rally but sadly were back minutes later and completed their rally in their modern.
If there are less than 4 vehicles in a class, class is combined with the next class. There was only one PWV and 3 P80’s. Biggest class – P60 with 18 vehicles!
Our Bay of Plenty group was. Les and Helen Duggan in their Mini Clubman, us in our 1934 Graham Bluestreak, Marc Williams and James Turner in the 1962 PA Vauxhall, Graham and Thelma Jack in their 1976 Ford Capri, Trevor and Raewyn Hughes,1927 Model A, and Graham and Helen Meredith in their Valiant Charger.
A great turnout from our Branch! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.
A huge thanks to Steve and Joy for another wonderful rally. You both put so much effort into plotting, planning and executing the rally – and the accolades are well deserved!
On Friday the 7th of February 2025, a funeral and celebration of Phil Leaming life was held in Edgecumbe. His family were joined by many EBOP Vintage Car Club friends, with more than 20 cars providing an escort to the Edgecumbe Memorial Hall and then to is burial. Rest Peacefully Phil.
Rosa: A well-travelled
Y-type—by Peter Crow
The featured car at our first Club Night for 2025 was a well-travelled 1951 MG Y-type owned by Peter and Robyn Crow. Y6641 began life as a CKD in Ireland in early 1951. After assembly, it was registered as ZE9231. Little is known about the car’s provenance before 2001, when it was discovered in poor condition in a barn in the Irish countryside. A restoration project was started, but it stalled when the owner became unwell and could not continue.
Several years later, in late 2010, the car was advertised and brought by a Mr Pick, a Yorkshireman. He trailered it onto English soil again, the first time in 60 years, and restarted the abandoned restoration. The project didn’t deter Mr Pick, who had previously completed an awarding-winning restoration of an MG TD. The nut and bolt rebuild took three years. Along the way some subtle improvements were added including twin-leading brakes shoes (a modified TD setup) and a YB anti-roll bar; twin carburettors and a TD camshaft (to replace the original single carb and low-lift cam); a Hi-gear five-speed conversion; and LED lights and modern flashing indicators (but retaining working semaphores). Cosmetic modifications included two-tone paint, driving lights and twin horns. In late summer 2013, the car was roadworthy once more, and it received its first English registration 871YUS. Three years later, Mr Pick sold the car to another MG enthusiast based in Suffolk, having decided he preferred sports cars more than saloons.
Fast forward to 2020. Peter and Robyn were looking for a restored English sporting saloon from the mid-30s to mid-50s period to fit a ‘hole’ in their garage something old enough to have curvy lines and running boards but capable to tour around New Zealand. After considering several local and Australian options, they stumbled across 871YUS online. They were cautious having heard horror stories but drew confidence after seeing some 700 pictures of the car (before, during and since the restoration) and 40 minutes of video, and a couple of phone calls with the seller. After checking the car could be complied in New Zealand, payment was made and shipping arranged. Ten weeks later, they saw the car in the flesh for the first time. Fortunately, the local compliance process was not too onerous; Y6641 received its third registration 51YA in December 2020.
Rosa: A well-travelled 1951 MG Y-type—by Peter Crow
Since importing the car, Peter & Robyn have travelled about 2300 miles, shown the car a few times, made a few reliability and performance improvements to improve the touring experience, and received many smiles and waves when they’ve been out and about. Y-types were reasonably uncommon in the 1950s; more so today, especially one that has been registered in three countries. A final trainspotter comment: despite various travels and travails Rosa still has her original window glass!

Being an Auckland Carrier 65-75 years ago—by Bryce Strong
Looking at the picture of the Austin truck in a previous CMA edition reminded me of my father, Eric Strong, who was a local carrier, and owned and operated a pre-war Ford V8 truck that always seemed to be needing repair. That model Austin truck was brand new then, and I tried to talk my Dad into buying one to replace the V8. Unfortunately he did not, and continued to pay heaps in repairs. He had lived through the depression and just did not want to take on debt!
One of his jobs in the V8 was collecting heavy wooden boxes of welding rods from Auckland wharf. I was with him when, late in the day, we were in a hurry, and loaded the boxes too far to the rear of the tray. Going up Symonds Street (a reasonable incline) the front wheels of the truck would bounce off the ground! To steer, Dad had to touch the brakes, which brought the nose down momentarily, and the truck would proceed in the desired direction! A weird sensation, but very funny. A little later he employed an old army mate to drive the V8 for him, who was watching an attractive woman while driving through a busy Newmarket street and promptly ran into the back of another truck, causing great damage. The same driver failed to deliver another load of the same expensive welding rods, and Dad found him in the Ponsonby “Glue-Pot" pub - with thousands of pounds of silver welding rods on display in the back of the truck. Luckily none were stolen, but the old mate was dismissed soon after.
The name on the side of the truck was Quinells, a furniture store in Newmarket that Dad did some deliveries for. On the door was Dads name (E R Strong - he was Eric Richardson Strong) and the areas he delivered toGrey Lynn and Point Chevalier.

Continued- Being an Auckland Carrier 65-75 years ago
In those days carriers picked up from various stores and other businesses, and delivered to the area that they specialised upon, which made it economic for them, as they were charging only 1 shilling and sixpence per parcel. For many years as a boy and as a teenager I went with Dad every chance I could, particularly in school holidays. Dad collected parcels for delivery from George Courts, John Courts, Smith and Caugheys (all department stores of the day, Masco's (a wool shop that had 18 branches in Auckland - now defunct I think), plus other manufacturing businesses (one of them I remember made fire guards hand beaten in brass in different patterns over a wooden buck - long gone!). Parcels for other areas were either picked up by other carriers, or Dad delivered them to a Carriers co-op distribution centre.
And then most weekends we would do house shifting jobs for families - I think for ten pounds a time. It's hard to believe today that Dads truck could comfortably carry the average house's contents - we have so many more possessions now!
And then, for a while Dad would "run the cutter" - NZ had laws protecting the railway, and trucks carrying most goods over 50 miles distance were prohibited! This was enforced and fines resulted for people caught doing so. Rail was not the ideal way to move many items, including new furniture, but carriers were allowed to transport used furniture. So Dad would load the truck with new furniture, and on the rear of the truck load obviously used furniture to disguise the real contents if he was stopped by traffic officers or police. Hard to believe but Dad did several runs from Auckland to New Plymouth in that V8 - and there were no motorways at that time, just old winding rural roads. He would load up on a Friday afternoon, drive to New Plymouth on Saturday, sleep in the truck, unload, and drive home on Sunday, getting home very late. A very tough way to make a quid! Towards the end of his days as a carrier Courier companies took over the City market with a totally different distribution model.
Writing to you has bought back so many memories - such a different era. As a boy after a day working with Dad around Auckland he would park the truck off Karangahape road, and leave me while he went to the "All Golds" sports club and had a few beers - and then drive the truck home. He never had an accident as a result of drinking! When I was 15 Dad had an operation and could not work for 3 weeks, so as I didn't have a heavy traffic licence he employed a driver and I went with him and ran the business until Dad was fit again. It was lucky that it was a school holiday.
Later Dad did dispose of the V8 and bought a second hand Commer Superpoise, which, from memory, served him quite well.
This is a photo of a similar Commer (not my Dads one)
It certainly was a different world!
