October 2025
Coming Events
All events are held at our clubrooms unless otherwise specified.
JANUARY
Note: The clubrooms are open on the second and fourth Thursday evenings of the month from 7:30pm until 10:00pm and EVERY Saturday afternoon from 4:30pm until 6:30pm. Our Spares Dept & Library are open during the clubrooms opening hours PLUS Thursday mornings from 9:00am ’til noon.
Chairman’s Report
September came and went with the usual Section Meetings drawing good crowds. Thursday mornings at the Clubrooms are becoming very popular. However, I am very disappointed to hear that items are ‘disappearing’ from the Barn during the times the Barn is open. It is a shame that we, the committee, need to discuss the installation of security cameras. It only takes a few people to spoil it for others.
The Annual Ladies Rally, this year, plotted around the picturesque Eastern Beaches, by Marion Morris and her helper, Val Ball, sported magnificent views and easy instructions to follow. Unfortunately, the run was very poorly attended. Jodi, our Secretary and Bulletin Editor, had prepared an afternoon tea fit for the Ritz. I don’t think I need to say how disappointed these people were. Those of us who attended had a ball and went home very well fed.
Due to the inclement weather forecast the destination of the Mid-week Tourers’ Run was shifted to the Ardmore Café. This event is popular for those who are able to enjoy a mid week outing.
October brings the start of a very busy time for us here at the AVVCC. Here are some important dates to put on your calendar:
11th (Saturday) - 9.00 - Noon. Our Annual Working Bee. Please bring a plate to share at the end of work.
18th (Saturday) Hunua Spring Tour Rally. See our emails for an Entry Form.
19th (Sunday) Spring Garden Party. Starting at 1.00pm. Please bring a plate for a shared afternoon tea, Fifty & Sixty Year Membership Awards, Hunua Spring Tour Prizegiving, and a light dinner will follow.
25th (Saturday) Club Afternoon. Our guest Speaker is from Fraser Cars, makers of custom-built Lotus 7 Replica Kit Cars. Afternoon Tea will be supplied.
Of course, the Clubrooms are also open on the usual second and fourth Thursday evenings and every Saturday afternoon for a Noggin & Natters.
Please check your Bulletin and the Week Ahead email notices for other up-coming events. It feels like the ‘silly season’ is about to begin!
I look forward to you coming to these Annual Events as they take a lot of time for the members who offer to organise them. Remember – this is one club, and we need to come together and support each other.
Happy, safe motoring, and enjoy your restoration projects. Shaaran.

Club Captain’s Log
A big thanks this month to Marion Morris, Val Ball and team for organising a great Ladies Run mid month. The majority of you missed a treat, with an easy drive around the Eastern Beaches, scenic views through the grey misty sky and an afternoon tea at the clubrooms to die for (wasn't much dinner cooked in our house afterwards!).
This month is our Annual Hunua Spring Tour, there's still time to get your entry ingo and email Rodger NOW! Don't miss what is always an excellent weekend of motoring and socialising! At the Garden Party on the Sunday, we have some 50 and 60 year membership awards being presented.
Keep checking in with the week ahead emails as there is plenty on the calendar in the run up to Christmas and the end of the year - get those dates in your diary.
Motoring wise, coming up we have the Hunua Spring Tour, Christmas Picnic and a Xmas Lights tour to see the year out.
New Year’s Day will be the usual run to Kaiaua organised by Martin and Lynda. Always a hit with all members.
See you out there soon.

Games Night— Thur, 23rd Oct
With the success of last month's Games Night, where we ran a Dingbats Quiz (won by Shirley Bovis and Charlotte Bovis) we are going to continue this theme.
This month we will be playing Scattergories. A team game, a dice is rolled to give a letter, you then need to come up with answers to a set of questions beginning with that letter.
Unique answers that have not been given by any other team score the highest points.
Come along and have some fun and win a prize!
Thank you very much to the 7 entrants that joined us for this year’s Ladies Run which started in Flat Bush and meandered it’s way through Whitford, Mellons Bay, Pakuranga and Panmure to end up at the Clubrooms.
Two of the seven entrants, Stephen and Tracey Winterbottom and Gavin and Sophie Welch, found the highest number of silent checks. The closest answer for the ‘tied result’ deciding question was Gavin and Sophie. The question was ‘how many roundabouts did you pass through’, the answer, an astonishing 18.
Many thanks to Val and her friend Robyn as Starters and Trail car and to Jodi who supplied a very nice afternoon Tea.
Regards Marion
Library Notes
This month we would like to acknowledge receipt of a significant quantity of Motorcycle books donated by Neville Olsen. Quite a large number were not in our library, and these have now been added to our catalogue. This brings the total number of books on the subject of Motorcycles and Motorcycle service manuals to just over 400 publications. This doesn’t include our extensive collection of Motorcycle magazines.
With the recent amendments to the rules governing the frequency of Warrant of Fitness checks for light Vintage and Veteran Vehicles over 40 years old moving to every 12 months, we got to thinking how many times road regulations have changed.
The library contains copies of old traffic regulations as well as several books on the history of how New Zealand’s road transport regulations have evolved from ad-hoc rules in the 19th century covering horse and cart to a comprehensive system of driver, vehicle licensing and safety regulations. The first regulation covering vehicles was the McLean Act passed in 1898. Strangely this act was rushed through as “..it was doubtful that the existing state of the law in the Colony that motor cars could be lawfully used This Act was to authorise William McLean and other persons to obtain permits and licenses to operate motor vehicles and store and use Petroleum or any other flammable liquid or fuel..” The Act itself included a clause to the effect that it would remain in force until such time when a Public Act dealing with the subject shall have come into force. It included a schedule of rules governing the use of the Vehicle. It was quickly followed by the Motor Cars Regulation Act of 1902, and the Motor Regulation Act of 1906.
Barry Birchall’s book The Early Years of the Motor Vehicle in Auckland contains in Chapter five, an extensive summary of the early development of regulations up to the Transport Licensing Act of 1931 and subsequent amendments, and makes interesting reading (copies available in the Library).
Today, legislation covering the use of vehicles is set out in the Land Transport Act 1998, and subject to almost thirty subsequent amendments passed up to this year.
It seems we have a penchant for complicated wording but we thought that this one from 1931 takes the prize!
“Exercise of Powers by Local bodies:
(9) Any power or authority which is exercisable by a controlling authority (being a local authority) shall be exercisable by resolution of such a controlling authority; and any such power or authority (except the power of appointing Traffic Inspectors) shall be exercisable by any member or officer of a controlling authority empowered in that behalf from time to time, either generally or specifically, by resolution thereof, and unless otherwise provided by resolution thereof, shall be exercisable by any Traffic Inspector appointed by such controlling authority.”
Reward for anyone that can tell us what this means!

Veteran Section Notes
This month we received apologies from David Oliver, Phil Henley and Roy Sharman.
Monty Scarborough brought Paul Muir to the meeting to discuss the National Model T Ford event, which will take place in the Franklin area from the 24th to the 28th of February next year. Paul presented an extensive programme for the event, and informed us that an invitation has also been extended to HCCNZ to participate. There was some discussion about merging our veteran run with the Ford Model T event, but the majority seemed to prefer that we hold our own event as normal. I did mention the probability that the roads we will use might overlap roads they will use, however, as there is a two week gap between events most didn't seem to worry about this. Paul has given me a copy of their Saturday route, therefore I can plot away from a lot of it.
Monty needs to find a way of stopping grease leaks from the axle shafts of his Model T. David Lane mentioned that a Texan company is making a sealed bearing adapter to address this issue and Snyders the Model T & A parts specialist are now stocking these. David also mentioned an AI designed improvement for Model T owners who have converted from multiple coils and flywheel magneto to a single coil and modern distributor. Gavin Welch mentioned that his Model T was going well, but he's struggling to keep up with his brother Wayne’s Model T which now has a higher compression cylinder head. Paul Muir displayed an adapter for Model T starter motors.
Denis Lowe displayed his 1903 Curved Dash Oldsmobile at a car show at a school across the road from his house, the show attracted a variety of vehicles including a 1920 Douglas motorcycle.
Tim Edney is taking his 1905 Darracq to the Nelson VIHFM next year.
Tim also mentioned that a number of New Zealand cars are going offshore again. It seems as though these are 1940' and '50's models. This could be due to the weak New Zealand dollar against the US dollar.
Barry Birchall is still working on his 1912 Cadillac starter motor with assistance from Richard Green.
Kelvin Healy is still having issues with the valves in his 1913 Sunbeam, but intends taking the car to Nelson.
So that's all for this month.
John Stokes
Vintage Section Notes
This month we held our get-together up in the barn to make room for the Motorcycle Section with their greater numbers. Just as we started there was a heavy shower and the noise on the tin roof completely drowned all conversation. However, the squall soon passed and we carried on.
Bill Hulse has been too busy helping re-spout the clubrooms to have any quality time in his own shed. John Stokes has been troubled by a spasmodic involuntary sounding of his Buick horn. As he investigated the problem he pushed and pulled the steering wheel and to his horror the whole thing came right off the steering column. The ‘nut behind the wheel’ was more than just loose.
A piece of gasket material arrived courtesy of Neville Holland for Norm Dewhurst to make a new gasket for the glass filter bowl on a petrol pump. Norm is still waiting patiently for the Triumph Dolomite (Dolly) to come home with her new paint job. Good things take time!
John Morrison’s beautiful Talbot Largo has had a wee accident and has suffered some frontal damage. The panel beating is in hand but of more concern is a hard to replace headlight lens. John wants to take the car to the ’Vero’ in Nelson. As reported last month his Briscoe starter motor is running on the bench and is awaiting the cutting of some new gears before re-installing in the car.
Ross Bellamy reports that the brake lining specialists in Hamilton that many of us have used are now in New Plymouth trading as NZ Bonding Services.
There was some discussion about the cause of ‘shimmy’ in older cars. Excess play in kingpins and tie rod ends, a dented rim, wheel balance and wheel alignment can all contribute.
Neil Bieleski has the Triumph Herald overdrive fitted and working and after a little more fiddling to correct a weeping hydraulic clutch union the car should be ready for the Vero International Rally.
Richard Green has been helping Barry Birchall with the 1912 Cadillac starter motor and is now pleased to report that it is working well. That is a great achievement as there are very few working examples anywhere. They still have a problem with the clutch return spring, but I am sure that will be sorted shortly.
Peter Wood acquired a ‘Majik’ tail light-indicator that was marketed as an aftermarket accessory in the late 1920s and 30s. The illuminated direction change arrow is mechanically changed from left to right by solenoids, sliding shutters. As received from the USA it was not functioning and was in poor condition, but it now looks brand new and Peter has it mounted on a board to display it’s potential. It will eventually enhance his Buick Marquette.
After our meeting we were invited to join the Motorcycle Section for afternoon tea.

Motorcycle Section Notes
Lynda and I picked up Malcolm Brown at Bombay on our way to the September motorcycle meeting. For a change, the motorway traffic was light.
As we arrived, so did our guest speaker, Chris Stanley and his friend Steven Hill, who owns and runs ‘Barry's Auto Electrical’ in Kumeu; he owns 4 Japanese bikes. They were both riding Chris’s Kawasakis.
By the time our meeting started, we had 5 bikes parked out the back and 46 attendees sitting in the clubrooms. Martin told one of his jokes, which was an old one but still funny.
There were no new members, and the only visitor was Chris’s friend Steven Hill.
REPORTS
Martin told us about our recent Daffodil Day event, where we raised $8.500 for the Auckland Cancer Society, and then told us about last month’s club afternoon. The speaker talked about the arrival of the first Auckland Electric Trams, those who attended said it was one of the best talks of the year.
Then Martin told us about the August motorcycle run that went to see branch member Graham Viall’s great motorcycle collection, we had around 30 people go on the run.
GENERAL BUSINESS
Peter Alderdice told us about our group of riders that will be setting off next Thursday for their ride to the Taranaki’s Rubber Duckie bike rally.
COMING UP
Martin then asked the members to think about putting their bikes on our club stand at the up coming New Zealand Motorcycle Show on the weekend of 18th/19th October at the Auckland Showgrounds, Greenlane. Please let Martin know if you can put a bike in the show.
Martin has booked ‘Fraser Cars’ the NZ Lotus 7 style Kit Car builders, to come and show us one of their cars and tell the History of the company, this will be on Saturday the 25th October 2.30pm. See you there.
Take note that the October motorcycle meeting will be on Sunday 26th October.
GUEST SPEAKER
Our speaker was Chris Stanley - ex UK Devon, Chris and family emigrated here in the 1980’s and settled on Auckland’s West coast in Muriwai. Chris served his time as an engineer in an old school garage, where they repaired and fixed anything me-

chanical, cars, bikes, farm vehicles, buses. If it was broken or worn out they would fix it. Chris also worked at Auckland Airport for around 20 years as the vehicle motor fleet manager.
In his younger days Chris took part in motocross events on Kawasakis. He fell in love with the big Japanese 4 cylinder bikes of the1970’s, due to his height of six feet-four inches, which he felt made him look odd on the smaller bikes. His two bikes on display in the club rooms were a 1974 Kawasaki Z1, and a 1976 Kawasaki Z900. He restored the Z900 in 6 weeks, the Z1 took 3 months from a ground up restoration. The Z1 is the most collectable and a sort-after model. This bike would do 130 mph straight off the showroom floor. Chris has recently sold a Z900. Both bikes are road legal and used often.
Chris does all the mechanicals and frame painting, but the tanks are outsourced.
He has recently bought another Kawasaki Z900 and a Honda CBX 1000 6 cylinder to restore. He also owns a 1970’s Ford Cosworth Escort rally car that he hill climbs.
Chris answered questions from the floor, finishing up his talk at 3.45pm. Martin thanked Chris for coming to tell us his story.

Mid-week Tourer’s Run
In the week before our mid week run we met with our hosts for the proposed Wind Farm run, and in view of what the long range weather forecast was indicating we, together, decided to delay the Windfarm to a later date, probably in November.
This left us without a run for September, so Jo got to work and plotted a Cafe Run to the Ardmore Cafe. On Wednesday morning the promised rain was in abundance, a message was placed in a plastic bag on the back screen of our car which we had signposted with a club signboard suggesting that we meet up in the Autobahn Cafe.
Our turnout consisted of 6 cars, three moderns, and three PV cars, Ray and Cathy Crombach came out in their immaculate Studebaker Straight 8 convertible, to do a shake down run for the upcoming Vero International Rally. Brave Man! This was about the number that we thought we would have for our run due to the weather.
At 10:30 am we set off, and by chance Jo and I reached the front, so instead of being a tail-end Charlie, we were a front-end Floozie. We proceeded to lead our group to our final destination.
The whole trip was in heavy rain, creeks were flooded with muddy water and in, at least two places, we had to drive through streams of water that covered the road. It was fog-like conditions at the top of Jones Rd.
On arrival at the Ardmore Cafe we adjourned to our reserved table and enjoyed our food, drinks and companionship.
Thanks for joining us.

2025 Rubber Duckie Rally Trip
Most of our group of riders set off from the BP on the Southern motorway at Drury at 8.30am on a very wet and windy morning. I set off from Pokeno at 8.45am and rode down to meet them at the Rangiriri bridge. I got there at 9am and waited until 9.15am. At this point I thought I must have missed them, so I set off on the back roads trying to catch them up. Unbeknown to me the group were crawling up the Bombay Hill due to a truck breakdown blocking one lane.
The members riding were: Peter Alderdice Ariel SQ4, John Poole Norton Commando, Jeremy Lambert BMW R80RT, Mike Watts Honda GB500, Mike O’Kane BSA Gold Flash & sidecar, Trevor & Rick Hackett (father and son) - on their Vincent Rapides, Marshall Corazza Can-Am Ryker, Ian Hubbard Triumph T100, and me, Martin Triumph Speed 400. Paul & Jodi Tomlin were trailering their 1925 HarleyDavidson outfit and met up with the group at Pirongia.
Other members who were riding down separately were Eric Drabble Gilera Scooter, Mike Clarken Norton Dominator, and John & Jill Williams who trailered their Morgan Sport.
All up we had 21 branch members at the rally.
Our journey was in rain and very strong gusty winds. As I was ahead of the group, I stopped in Otorohanga to warm up and have some lunch. After passing through Te Kuiti the rain stopped, I arrived at the Taumarunui Forgotten Highway motel at 2pm. After a nice hot shower and coffee I felt a lot better.
At 3pm the rest of the group arrived. After the riders had hot showers, a drink and chatted about the trip down, we walked down to the local RSA, for a meal and more chatting.
Mike Watts and I played snooker, a game neither of us had played for many years. The game lasted for ¾ of an hour, and went down to a black ball finish which Mike won.
We all had a good dinner and a pleasant evening at the RSA.
We woke up on Friday morning to overcast skies but no rain. After breakfast we set off on the famous Forgotten Highway, this great road is now sealed all the way to Stratford. There was very little traffic, but it was very cold. Around 11 am we arrived at the famous Whangamomona Hotel, we had very nice cheese scones and coffee. We then had a good ride over to Stratford, where we stopped for lunch. Then we made our way up to New Plymouth and the Top 10 Holiday Park in Fitzroy, the base for the Rubber Duckie Rally.
At 6pm we met in the Dining Room for dinner, where we met up with many rally friends.
Saturday morning we woke up to blue skies and sunshine. By 8.30am the 46 entrants had picked up their rally packs and numbered bibs, except me, as I wasn't on the entry list? It turned out I had downloaded the entry form on my laptop, filled it out but then forgot to send it. Anyway Bruce Davidson sorted this out for me.
We were sent off at one minute intervals. Once we were out into the country, the roads were traffic free. We got magnificent views of the mountain covered in snow with the backdrop of blue sky. The Taranaki roads have everything a bike rider wants, swooping bends, hills, great views, we even had a narrow tunnel and a very old wooden suspension bridge thrown into the mix.
Morning tea was at the Hurangi Hall, next door to the Hurangi School. The tea was put on by the school PTA mums as a fund raiser. WOW what a feast they laid on for us, we sat out on the deck, and on the grass area in the warm sunshine for half an hour. The route then took us in a large circle, for 90 minutes, and brought us back to the hall for lunch, another FEAST.
After lunch we made our way back to the Top 10 Holiday Park. Time for showers, a drink and a chat about the days riding.
At 6pm we walked to the Beach Street Hall for the prize giving dinner.
After the meal, rally coordinator Peter Hutton talked about the day’s events, and thanked the rally secretary Linda Hutton, route plotter Rob Thomson, and the caterers.
Then Rob Thomson and the branch chairman Colin Johnston presented the trophies to the class winners.
Results were:
PV: 1st Paul Switzer 1937 Royal Enfield G, 2nd Robert Simpson 1941 Indian 741B, 3rd Ludwig Eilers 1938 BSA M20
PWV: 1st Lance Edlin 1951 Triumph Thunderbird, 2nd Peter Alderdice 1954 Ariel Sq4, 3rd Trevor Hackett 1949 Vincent Rapide
P60: 1st Neville Mickleson 1967 Velocette Venom, 2nd Don Henwood 1980 XL500, 3rd Ron Dunn 1969 BSA Rocket 3.
P80: 1st Michael Watts 1987 Honda GB500, 2nd Jeremy Lambert 1983 BMW R80RT.
SIDECAR: 1st Michael O’Kane 1952 BSA, 2nd John & Jill Williams 1937 Morgan, 3rd Peter Naylor 1991 Harley-Davidson
OVERALL WINNER: Neville Mickleson
Sunday morning dawned overcast and chilly. After breakfast we loaded up and then set off for home at 8.45am. No rain but very windy along the coast highway. We were held up on Mount Messenger at traffic lights due to a big slip. We all stopped at Mokau for coffee to warm up.
Ian, John and I stopped off in Otorohanga for lunch. Others from our group carried on to visit our friend Trevor Appleby in Te Awamutu. We carried on our ride back home, the weather was sunny now but we were still fighting the strong winds.
I arrived home in Pokeno at 2pm, I unloaded my luggage, put the very dirty Triumph in the garage, and was then welcomed home by Lynda, with a cup of tea and hot scones.
And so ended another great Taranaki Rubber Duckie Rally.

Another view of the Pub and the Bikes
Whangamomona has had a facelift. McCluggage Bros is now a giant display case, only the façade and about 1 metre deep.
The mountain was visible for most of the morning, with marshmallow looking cloud around it at the snow line.
Morning Tea in the sunshine.
The bikes lined up outside the hall.
For Sale
1981 1275 GT Clubman
Former club members Graham & Muriel Gill are reluctantly selling their treasured 1981 1275 GT Clubman which they've fastidiously maintained over the last 10 years, with thousands spent. Very little evidence of rust/filler as it was undersealed and regularly garaged. Bored out to 1310cc with worked head and slightly higher compression. Economical and reliable, starts first time and always runs smoothly. Has new 12 month WOF and 12 month rego. Not a "concourse" example, just a good honest car, which could be easily tidied up to a higher standard. Asking $14,990 negotiable. Contact Graham: associate8@hotmail.com
