Many thanks to those who took advantage of this great facility and especially those who put the event together and had official duties over the two days. On the last Workshop Saturday the body of the "Caversham" was trasfered from the temporary chasis to that which had been prepared. Much work now has to be done now readying the fibreglass body for painting. This presents a great opportunity for those members so moved to come on down and lend a hand to transform the ugly duckling into the beautiful swan she is to be at the conclusion of the rebuild. Planning for the Northam Flying 50 weekend is well underway. This year will see an expanded programme and with extra entertainments for the visitors. Northam is only three weeks after our March General Meeting! This will mean already a quarter of 2015 will have passed, where does the time go? So time to make your plans to be in Northam either as a competitor, official or tyre kicker, but be there! With Monday the 2nd being the Labour Day holiday the next Monday, the 9th, is our next General Meeting so be there to hear of and discuss Collie and the forthcoming Flying 50 weekend. If not all that interested in upcoming events be there for the great fellowship, stories and downright lies! Enough from me. Stay healthy, drive safely and continue to support your Club and its members. Ian Fry Editor's notes ERRATA: My typing finger slipped on page 22 of the February issue and transferred the race start in the top photograph from Narrogin to Northam, as Ken Devine was very quick to point out. John Napier-Winch also confirmed that the Narrogin photograph is of the 1952 event. I got the location right in the December issue, page 19. Also, there is some confusion over who is driving the number 14 Morgan. Is it Barry Ranford or David van Dahl? The second picture (Goomalling 1953) shows car 9, a V8 Special that John Napier-Winch has said was shown as a Mercury Special in the programme. Formerly owned by Jack Glendinning, it was driven at Goomalling by Norm Buckingham, the new owner. That is the car that Jim Krajancich has advertised for sale on the inside back cover. It is 90% there, but needs assembly and TLC to make it a runner. There will be a list of the awards presented (and those that were not collected) on page 14 of this issue of Vintage Metal. There is a full page advertisement on page 11 for a hillclimb at Collingrove in South Australia. It's a great hill and the facilities are excellent. Some South Australians trekked across the Nullarbor for the Lake Perkolilli Centenary event (they are still getting the mud out of their cars) so we could return the compliment. In the ad on page 13, I know that Mt Ommanney is incorrectly spelt. Bob Campbell 3 VINTAGE SPORTS CAR CLUB OF W.A. (Inc) Minutes of the General Meeting – 2 February 2015 1. Meeting opened: 8.00pm 2.

Pre-requisite is that you already hold an Officials License if not there is an online course/nodule to be completed prior if you don’t already have an Officials license.

UPHOLSTERER: Does anyone know an Automotive upholsterer as needed for Cavo car. If you do could you please contact Ron Fabry (9457 9179). 10. SOCIAL COMMITTEE: reported by Wally Phoebe. He extended his thanks to Heidi Vanzetti for bringing along her Triumph for display. To date the social committee has not had meeting in 2015 and would welcome any new suggestions from members as to things they would like to see and or excursions. Contact Wally (0414 894 673). HINT FROM WALLY: Beware: When changing oil in new cars DO NOT go by old system of empting and leaving oil out for 24 hours. THIS IS a No No for new cars, or otherwise problems (expensive ones) can develop. Contact Wally for solution if needed. New cars are not like the old ones! 11.

REGALIA: Mike Barnes now has new supplier for T-shirts etc and still has special offer of “2 for $5.00 of Caversham T-shirts” Contact Mike if you want some great for doing those greasy jobs in and such a cheap cost. Ian Fry then presented the Perpetual Trophies - list in this edition. 13. GENERAL BUSINESS: Craig Bradtke (Chairman of CAMS WA Historic Advisory Panel) brought to members attention:: • Historic and modern would now be run under 1 set of rules - no longer will CAMS have any historic rules - for 12 month trial period - this could affect club events. • Bulletin re 5th Category cars and fuels – which said can’t use Ethanol fuels and now been revoked to use pump fuels. He strongly advised members not to modify cars to run Ethanol fuels because further changes may occur. 5 • Frontal head restraint - SFI are challenging FIA on FHR issue re safety. CAMS FIA program suggests we have to have HANS devices by July 2015 but likely the list of devices will be broadened. Julian O’Hara showed members SFI tested SIMPSON devices similar to HANS and said were much more comfortable to wear. He believed that these were FIA approved. He got his online but Dick Ward (GO GEAR) advised that he is now stocking these and others for those who would like to try them. Tony Brett asked question regarding “State Championship” as far as club was concerned and thought quite confusing how winner was arrived at and the fact that CAMS did not advise winners to attend presentations. Paul Bartlett explained point system and said that it was an “aim” for 2015 to put on website updated information after each State round of events. Did state it was an “aim” now with new webmaster and/ or have a link to site concerned. 14. Meeting Closed: 8.35 pm Minute taker: Lynn Oxwell E & OE SOCIAL NOTES Well the year is beginning to crank up and a number of social events have been suggested. By the time you are reading this the Collie Icebreaker should have been run and behind us so we turn our eyes to Northam. We must get people to these events and do whatever we can to utilize the local businesses where possible. You can help support the day by coming in your concessional licenced vehicle of interest and put it on show in the designated area. Dougie is organizing the event trophies again and is organizing some drinks and food for a mini social after the event is completed and the track surrounds have been packed up. Dougie is also looking at an outing into the Swan Valley in April or May where we can again dust of the old vehicles and enjoy an outing which could be as follows: 10am - meet at Guildford Memorial Park. 10:30am -Nougat Factory Tour at Mondo’s. 11:30am - Visit the Honeypot to sample honey, have a honey ice-cream 12:30pm – Wine tasting at Sittella Winery. 1pm – Lunch at Sittella Winery and then meander home. Later in the year I plan another excursion south of the river which may be a tour down to the North Dandalup dam area where there are some nice barbeque and/or picnic areas. This would be in the Spring when the bush should come alive with some blooms etc. A Christmas in July is also on the books and with a guest speaker and this would of course be a ladies night. We still need ideas and are willing the take suggestions from members.

Entirely by coincidence, there was historic racing at Mallala and a hisoric hillclimb at Collingrove that Easter. I had my camera with me and made sure that I took lots of photographs (real ones in those pre-digital days). The advertisement opposite for this year's Vintage Collingrove Hillclimb provided a great opportunity to fire up the scanner and pop some of those 23-year-old photographs in to Vintage Metal. I've left some background in some of the shots to give some idea of the beautiful setting of Collingrove. Some VSCC of WA members have been to Collingrove (apart from the editor) and one historic competitor from this side is reported to have said that in his view the Collingrove Hillclimb track in the Barossa is the best hillclimb track in the world! I am waiting for some identification of the drivers - I can remember the cars, but I'll do Peter Wilson's Pieces of Eight, a special that my best with the captions. is the best thing that ever happened to a 1930s Morris 8 A 998 cc Mk 1 Sprite driven by Victorian John Evans Timothy Kuchel, SA, Brabham BT18, 1600 cc Another Victorian Sprite, again 998 cc, driven by Tony Bennetto Ian Brock's Austin Seven Special. Ian race number is also his age and he increased it every year. The Austin is now in Germany, but Ian races an Elfin Streamliner, race number 91 Roy Williams in Sabrina, a sports car with supercharged 3.1-litre Austin Healey 3000 engine Graham Jarrett in the family Elfin Streamliner with MGB engine, HRG-Derrington alloy head and fascinating history including losing the original tail to a bushfire 10 11 VSCC Member Stars in Bathurst 12 Hour VSCC of WA member Steve Wyatt was part of the driving team with Michael Rugolo and Davide Rigon in the AF Corse Ferrari at the Bathurst 12 Hour Race on February 8. After qualifying fourth, Steve took the start and had the car in first place at each of his three pit stops before handing over to Michael at the third stop. Ed Farrar managed to get to the 12 Hour and reported that the pits were very busy early in the morning, especially the Nissan pits, where their Godzilla GTR needed an engine rebuild between qualifying and the race. The race started in pitch darkness at 5.50 a.m. with a warm-up lap behind the safety car before a rolling start. The start was clean with none of the customary V8 Supercar first lap carnage. A full coverage of the race can be found on the web at bathurst12hour.com.au or at motorsport. com, where I found the excellent photograph above. As I took the picture without asking, perhaps I should mention that motorsport.com has an excellent coverage of motor sport world-wide, including major historic events. At the halfway mark the Ferrari was in fourth place and looking very competitive. There were many safety car periods. Unfortunately the Steve in the pits before the start with the 12th safety car was for the AF Corse Ferrari. It Ferrari behind (Ed Farrar phone pic) was struck from behind by the Dean Canto driven #36 Erebus Motorsport Mercedes to spin off the track, through a sign and into the wall near pit exit. Getting the car back to the pits and back into running order lost 12 laps, so the team withdrew the Ferrari from the race. Over the past three Bathurst 12 Hour races, the Ferrari has failed to finish in 2013, finished 7th in 2014 and scored another DNF this year. Successes for AF Corse have included the Asian Ferrari 458 Challenge in 2014 and class successes at Le Mans from 2011 to 2014. The race went on after the AF Corse car retired with the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 of Chiyosan, Wolfgang Riep and Florian Strauss One of the Bentleys in the pits before snatching a last minute win (yes, that's the one the start (Ed Farrar phone pic) that had the last-minute engine rebuild). David Brabham was injured when he crashed in one of the Bentleys, but another Bentley led almost to the end before being swamped by the Nissan, an Audi and an Aston Martin. seven marques finished in the first seven places, with Nissan leading home Audi, Aston Martin, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari and Lamborghini in that order. 12 13 List of Trophy Winners If your name is here and you haven't received your trophy, you weren't at the February General Meeting.

The brief story of the car was supplied by Peter Theyer, who ran it at the Albany Classic for a few years and is rebuilding it for future competition. Here is Peter's story of the TQ: The car was built and owned by George White, who was a local jeweller here in Albany, with assistance from Jim Liversey, and in later years my father William (Bill) Theyer, who was one of the top drivers/constructors during the period. The car was constructed in the early 1950's using parts from various vehicles, motorbikes, and scooters, as were most of the TQ's of the period. It featured a nosecone and steering wheel from an early aeroplane, hubs and wheels from a lambretta scooter, various brake and driveline parts from a Fiat 500, and the engine/gearbox was a Triumph 500 Trophy Special, with custom camshafts. The cars predominately ran on road circuits, throughout the Great Southern, with events held in Albany, Mt Barker, Katanning and Narrogin to mention a few. They were also run on the dirt speedways of the time, and also at the Centennial Oval track in Albany, which was around the Royals Football Club oval. This car was driven in a shared basis by George White and Jim Liversey during its racing history, and in later years my father ran the car in the Albany Classic in 1994 (I think). After rebuilding the engine, my father sadly passed away, and never raced the revamped car. I ran the car at the Albany Classic for a few years, and have since shelved it, to begin a rebuild.

Designed & constructed by Arthur Wylie in 1949-50, this important piece of Australian motor racing history first appeared at the 1951 Melbourne International Motor Show in the Royal Exhibition Building to huge acclaim.

It set a new lap record at Warwick Farm (1969), held outright & class records at several hill climb circuits (Rob Roy, Silverdale), and has taken FTD at the Geelong Speed Trials.
