Clearly club members wish to extend the clubrooms and this matter will be taken further at the AGM in June. Our last clubnight was very interesting with a police photographer‘s personal view of the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake event supported with photos that the news photographers could not get. Our Club‘s most important rally is coming up on Queen‘s Birthday weekend being the Double 50, please ensure you get your entry in to the Rally Secretary. Of equal importance is attending the AGM in June. Put your nominations in for committee positions now. Remember too the Night Rally is coming up later in June. See you all at the Double 50.

There is only one ‗notice of motion‘ received, which is a Committee approved proposal for a set of rewritten Branch Rules or Constitution. The Notice of Meeting and the associated Notice of Motion were mailed separately to all current Branch members in mid-May, together with a copy of the present constitution and also the proposed new constitution rules. Check this proposal carefully and raise any points of concern at the forthcoming AGM. All Branch Officer positions are up for election, so get those nomination forms completed and in to me. There will be no nominations from the floor allowed if the nominee is not present at the meeting. Following our application, Trust Waikato recently advised that they had awarded a grant of $350.00 to the Branch to assist with some maintenance painting work, which has now been carried out. Minutes from the National Executive Meeting and the Management Committee Meeting held in March are now available. Ask if you would like a copy sent to you. The Committee decision to trial an amalgamation of the Branch Veteran and Vintage Rally dates has been rescinded following the feedback received from members at the recent discussion evening. Because of a clash with the ‗Brits at the Beach‘ event at Tairua in October, Committee has changed the date for the PV Rally from the traditional first weekend in October to now be on Saturday 22 September. ―Brits‖ are too big to argue with Another event which will suffer a date change is this year‘s Veteran Rally which is set to clash with a Model ‗T‘ Club re-enactment run from Wellington to Auckland. Our event is now to be held a week later than usual in November because of this, on Saturday 10 November, with Horseless Carriage Club Waikato run the following day. We now have a stock of vinyl windscreen stickers sporting the club ‗wings‘ with Waikato in the red scroll below, rather like the water transfers of the past, but going on the outside of the windscreen. See our Badge & Trophy Custodian for your supply at $2 each. Turners Auctions Classic Collectors clearout has changed from June 10th to Sunday 5th August.

They have travelled all over the North Island to rallies and car shows — here is some history on their car. The A35 pickup is one of 475 pickups produced at Longbridge 1956 to 1957. Production was stopped when the UK tax & excise department put on full car tax. The pickup was not deemed a commercial vehicle as it did not have a tail-gate, therefore it was classed as a coupe. All the pickups produced had a PU number plus a chassis number, with the chassis number starting with AK5 as this was the number for all A35 commercials (vans, countryman‗s & pickups). PU 87 is one of 17 A35 pickups to come to NZ. Built at Longbridge on the 28th November 1956, it was shipped to Suva, Fiji to the Suva Trading Co. Then in 1960 it came to NZ and was sold to Bradley‘s Panelbeaters & Towing in Westmere, Auckland and used as the workshop runabout for a number of years. A few changes were done to it by the apprentices at the time, A50 motor, gearbox and diff as well as brake and clutch hydraulics fitted. The back mudguards were flared out to take the wider axle, the gearbox tunnel was made bigger and room was made for the A50 motor under the bonnet. I heard about this little pickup in 1990 and after paying a visit to Bradley‘s yard found it under a cover in long grass out the back. It had not been going for a few years; the motor and gearbox had been removed. After some negotiating a deal was made and PU 87 ended up in our garage. First job was to strip it down to see what we had. The first problem was we could not get the back wheels off, had to drop the spring hangers to get the 15 inch A50 wheels out. So at this stage it was decided that an A35 motor, gearbox and diff was going back into the pickup with a few improvements. A low mileage A35 car was found that had been in an accident. All good parts were removed from this car for PU 87. Body work was carried out and painting done, then the motor, gearbox and diff from the A35 car fitted. Oh, it looked wrong with those narrow wheels in the flared mudguards. A trip to Jolly Wide Wheels with the recommended 12 inch A35 rims to have 5 rims widened by 2 inches for the back and 1½ inches for the front plus a spare. New 175 front and 185 rear radials fitted and it looked great with its Toyota British Red paint. Had it reregistered and wof‘d and we were road legal again, no certification back then. Off to our first car show in Tauranga and won best commercial, from then it was off around the 6 North Island going to car shows and trying to find out about the A35 pickups. As members of The Austin Flying A Enthusiast Car Club NZ and of the Austin A30 A35 Owners Club in England I was able to contact the A35 Pickup registrar in England and he was able to supply me with all the details of the pickups that came to NZ. So with the PU numbers and an article in the NZ Classic Car magazine I soon was on the track of the 17 pickups. I now have accounted for them all and 15 are still around, Some have been restored and some are waiting to be restored. PU 4 was sold last year and went over to Australia. Australia did not import any A35 Cars or A35 Commercials, only imported A30s. The only A35s in Australia came in with English immigrants bringing cars with them. In 1996 I was offered for lots of $$$ an Austin J40 Pedal Car that had been won in a raffle and the winner did not need it. This was a fibreglass replica of the original J40 pedal car from the 1950s & 60s made under licence in NZ by the Kiwi Pedal car company. To transport it around to shows a roof rack was made to go on the pickup and the J40 has been there ever since. Gaye and I moved from Auckland to Morrinsville in 1998. We joined the Waikato VCC in 2000 and have enjoyed rallying in the Waikato and around the North Island since. We now transport the pickup on a trailer behind our bus. The Pickup and pedal car reside in our garage with the 1953 Austin AS3 A30 that we have owned since 1987, 1957 Austin A55 Cambridge, 1965 Austin Healey Sprite MK111 and the 1939 Dodge D11. Kevin and Gaye Heyward 7 Signature Class Toyota Factory Tour, Thames – May 4 Thank you Bob, what a great day out! Being one of those lucky people that no longer has to work anymore I grasped the opportunity to join you and the 70 odd members and friends for what turned out to be a most enjoyable and informative experience. The weather couldn‘t have been better, warm and sunny, not much traffic, perfect for the drive ahead. Due to an unavoidable late start, we decided to skip the organised run and head for Te Aroha, where we stopped for lunch at the Domain Gardens - a lovely place for a picnic. Half an hour later we were on our way again and enjoying the countryside, particularly the seasonal changes in colour of the trees and landscape, which with the sun were so bright and quite dramatic. Also of interest was driving alongside several kms of the recently opened cycle way which has been installed where the railway track used to be. Time was running on and we eventually caught up with the convoy just as they were entering the factory car park. As we drove in it soon became very obvious that this was going to be a very well organised tour. Car parking all set up for us, and greeters all ready to explain details etc. Car Transporters were delivering and re-loading with great precision and once inside the building it was all go. We were split into groups and given a 15 minute description of the company operation now known as Signature Cars. How it all came into being, the changes over the years, staff members then and now and why Toyota decided to discontinue assembly etc., but still maintain a financial interest. Initially Toyota bought into the assembly plant (approx. 40 years ago) to assemble Corolla cars only, which were brought into NZ knocked down. Eventually other models were introduced and at its peak production 365 people were The last and first Toyota cars to be employed there. In 1998 the company decided assembled in the Thames factory to discontinue production purely for economic reasons caused by the N.Z government‘s tariff policy on imported vehicles. Over the years Campbell Industries, were albeit in a small way, involved in the assembly of and refurbishment of several other brands i.e 8 Peugeot, Fiat Bambina, Rambler, Datsun, Renault to name but a few. Prior to the impending close of the plant they put forward a proposal for Toyota to consider a joint venture doing what they were already doing, only in a much bigger way. To Toyota the idea made no sense at all, asking who would want to buy cars that are 5 years old, travelled 50,000ks max, and needed refurbishment. Little did they realise that New Zealanders were ready to buy them by the thousands. On the other hand Campbell Industries were well aware of the potential, took over and have never looked back since. Unfortunately job losses were substantial, leaving only 65 staff to reorganise and run the new operation. All Toyota (models) are accepted and although refurbishment is mainly cosmetic, mechanical, electrics, brakes and suspension are all part of the assessment process. A full time AA member is stationed on site and certifies all vehicles at completion. Average output per month 348; various models, commercial, 4wd, people movers and private cars, plus 100 Hilux trucks. When finished (all classes) are distributed to various dealers, fleet operators and rental companies for sale under the Signature Class Badge. Fleet & Rental cars have a two year 50,000 turnaround life before coming for refurbishment at which time they are replaced by Signature Class Vehicles, thus keeping a fairly constant flow of work at the plant. They are not in the business of retailing themselves, therefore purchase or private refurbishment cannot be made ex factory. As a point of interest the manager mentioned that they are the only company in the world doing this kind of work. However many enquires have been made and requests from overseas received to have a tour of the Plant, now that its potential has been realised. I hope this has been of interest to our members for those who couldn‘t make it because of work commitments etc. Do try and get a group together sometime and visit. Parties of 15 are welcome, a cup of coffee and a biscuit are supplied – all free!.

After arriving at the clubrooms for a natter - dinner was again nicely presented by the ladies from Cambridge Cuisine. Between courses the long service 25 and 35 year badges were awarded. General prizegiving followed dessert and members were presented with the various trophies earned during the year. The ―surprise‖ entertainment for the evening was a bit of old fashioned fun led by ukulele maestro Noelene Kennedy who came along with a ukulele for each of us present. She proceeded to get a room full of thumbs and fingers into some semblance of order to make a bit of music and have a good old sing-along. Great fun and certainly something a bit different. 12 Bruce Murcott Attendance Lorraine & Bryan Cossey Navigator & Driver Awards Shirley Foot & Jillian Hayton Joint Clubperson of Year Sportsman of the Year - Peter Fulton-Bevers Editors choice: Best Article - Cheryl Mickleson Editors choice: Best Contributor - Bob Hayton Restoration acknowledgements: Peter Hastelow - 1964 VW Karmen Ghia Iain Brown - 1944 Norton WD16H Motorbike Nigel Browning - 1911 Calthorpe Voiturette Neil Dobson - 1926 Ford Model T Tudor A 25 year badge was also earned by James Haddock, who was not able to attend. Ron Tuck Hard Luck Award OUT OF TOWN WINNERS Congratulations to Kevin and Gaye Heyward for their 1st placing in the Commercial Section of the Maunga Moana Rally, with a total loss of only 40 points. Ron Fey won the Kauri Trophy for the Overall best timed performance at the Northland Motorcycle Rally for his efforts on his 1955 BSA A10 Golden Flash. 13 Motorcycles Our last two outings were the very successful Mooloo, thanks to all who helped and took part, and the visit to the NZ Ploughing Championship in Cambridge. What a great turn out of old Farm Machinery that was on display, and every one is saying it was the best they had ever seen. The horse ploughing seems to have been the main attraction and to cap it off a good friend of mine won the Vintage Tractor Ploughing section. We are now back to our bi-monthly runs and on Sunday the 10th June we are going to see Larry Spicer‘s replica WW1 fighter aircraft at Te Kowhai. We will have the club rooms open from 11.30 so we can have lunch together before leaving at 1.00. If you do not have a motorbike and would like to come please do so in your old car, all are welcome. By the time you have read this some of us will have been to the Northland VCC annual M/C rally in Whangarei, see opposite. I have had a new rear tyre fitted to the BSA by Blackwood Motorcycles in Cambridge who are one of our Mooloo Sponsors, great service and it was fitted while I waited, better than me doing it with tyre levers !!! Our next run will be on the 12 August and as I have not arranged a venue, if someone has a place of interest they would like to visit please let me know. See you all on the 10th June. In the meantime, Safe Riding. Mark down Sunday 19th August for a day of fun, fashion and frippery. We shall have a few surprises for you, but we want you to wear your favourite vintage era clothing and bring along anything that needs a revamp (hats, dresses, accessories etc.) - we will have Jan from Deco on Alex on hand to give you great advice on how to transform them. 14 Northland VCC Motorcycle Rally - 19 May 61 entrants of whom 59 made it to the start with six from Waikato Branch. The weather in the main behaved itself and once the shower of rain soon after the start had passed the day turned out quite nice in the end. The run this year offered riders a choice of two routes, one of which included a 17 Km stretch of gravel road. Both routes took the riders approx 140km from the club rooms up the Mangakahia Valley to Kaikohe, around Lake Omapere (Route A around the top, Route B around the bottom on shingle), up onto the highlands around Waimate North, down to Puketona Junction, then on to the Haruru Falls Motor Camp for a BBQ lunch. The whole morning run was timed and became an exercise in maintaining their nominated average speed, many underestimating and therefore having to take the occasional break. This year there were not any observation challenges for riders. The afternoon return run back to Whangarei down SH1 included a visit to Ron Fey setting off on the run Roger Crowden‘s Sunbeam Museum just north of Kawakawa on the Paihia road. This has a number of mainly unrestored British machines, military and historic artifacts and even a traction engine which Roger had in steam for our visit. 72 enjoyed the drinks and meal at the Prizegiving in the evening. Overall winner was Ron Fey from Route A, with David Warren (Akld) topping Route B on his Norton International.
