CHAIRMANS REPORT
Hi members and families,
We may have moved on from Covid but we sure have been hit
with health problems of members and the passing of Tom
Woods over the last few days. If you know of a member that is
not well please let our welfare officer Linda Downey know so
she can keep in touch with them.
November is going to be a busy month starting with the
Bellevue 500 (more on this in the Klaxon) and then our swap
meet/car show/family day. If you haven’t already heard—a V8
simulator has been added to the day, please make this well
known and invite people to come along.
On the night of Monday 9 th at our club night we are having an
excellent speaker which is one of our newest members so make
sure you come along and support Neville.
Kerry has organised the mid week run so be sure to check this
one out. Our end of month run is going to be something that we
have not done before and will be well advertised in the “BUZZ”
- what a month!
Owing to circumstances I have not been able to organise the
collection and laying of cobblestones at the club rooms, is there
someone that would co-ordinate this project, everything is in
place and we have volunteers ready to help—but we
just need a boss? Please contact me on 027 576 4263.
Finally if you want to get something out of your club you need
to put something it, you will find it works!
I look forward to seeing as many as you as we can over the next
few events.
Ken

Please contact our Chairman if you have not received your name
badges by our next meeting.
In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed
to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we
have 'the rule of thumb.'
Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled
'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'... and thus the word GOLF entered
into the English language.
Get your motor running...New Plymouth is all go.
Revised dates have now been confirmed for the next
International Festival Of Motoring.
Originally planned for January 2021
Covid forced the Festival postponement but we can now announce
Our new dates Sunday 16 January to Friday 21 January 2022.
That gives you another whole year to get plans in place, wheels on the
road and budgets sorted (who's picking what price petrol will be by then).
We're looking forward to a huge turnout for this one.

WORLD NON-STOP MOTOR RECORD
Bill Janes passed on a cutting from a 1931 Meccano Magazine, as follows—
Two Americans recently set up a world record by driving a Ford Model A contin-
uously for 2,775 hours, 46 minutes—or practically four months! During that
time the car ran 47,138.9 miles. In the course of the long journey, which was
carried on regardless of weather and road conditions, punctures made it neces-
sary to change tire's eleven times. Even this was done without stopping either
the engine or the car, a travelling jack being used in order to enable the wheel
requiring a new tire to be taken off by one of the drivers running by the side of
the car as it moved slowly along. Apart from tire changes the only repairs nec-
essary throughout the run were the replacement of the spark plugs after cover-
ing 30,000 miles, the fitting of new generator brushes and the renewal of a sin-
gle nut. The equipment carried during the long and monotonous journey includ-
ed a folding bed on which the drivers rested in turn, and a wireless receiving set.
For the greater part of the run neither of the drivers left the vehicle except
when changing wheels.
Sadly we could not verify this story on the Internet, but the following was
found online— In the San Diego Automotive Museum is Louie Mattar’s $75,000
1947 custom Cadillac. In 1952, Mattar and two other men drove this one-of-a-
kind Caddy from San Diego to New York and back, without a single stop. Their
trip totalled 6,320 miles! The Caddy automatically refills the radiator and chang-
es the oil. Having drilled axles, the wheels could be inflated while turning and,
also, hydraulic jacks could raise the car to allow the wheels to be changed while
moving. For more complicated repairs and adjustments, the hood featured clear
panels, which allowed the driver to keep on going, while the other two passen-
gers fiddled under the bonnet, standing on movable platforms attached to the
side of the car. Louie’s Cadillac is considered to be the first motorhome ever
built.

WORLD NON-STOP MOTOR RECORD (Continued)
. The three men who completed the gruelling journey had many luxuries such as
an electric stove, refrigerator, TV, washing machine, chemical toilet, shower,
medicine cabinet and kitchen sink – and even an ironing board, all integrated
into the back seat. Up front, the car had a nationwide mobile telephone, PA sys-
tem, tape recorder and a Turkish pipe. The shiny trailer held a 30-gallon reserve
of water (50 gallons were in a tank mounted in the car), 230 gallons of gas and
15 gallons of oil, meaning that it needed refueling only three times during the
week-long trip (September 20-27, 1952), done of course while moving, on air-
fields located in Kansas City, Camden and Omaha.
Two years later, the same car was also driven non-stop from Anchorage to
Mexico City, over a
distance of 7,482 miles.
We are not exactly sure of the definition used for “non-stop”. While some
sources reference police escorts, one presumes that for the most part Louie and
his co-drivers observed traffic laws and stopped for red lights and stop signs.

“Where is the Collectable Car World Heading “continued from previous Klaxons
I’ve had a month to get my thoughts together and I’m finding it difficult to make sense of
the market, but one thing I’m certain of and I doffs my flat cap to them for using Veteran
and Vintage cars like we used to 40 to 50 years ago. Of course I’m referring to the Smylie
crew who don’t have any options later than Vintage and what an example they are
setting for everyone else and long may you do so with no regard for power steering,
synchro gearboxes and ABS brakes. A few sceptics questioned the problems with elec-
tronics mainly from year 2000, so I will give you a couple of examples. Gwen’s cousin has
a nice sports from that era and a friend has a top of the range V8 from the same stable.
Both are side-lined with failures that control engine operation and they have both spent
a lot of time and money to no avail to fix things. By the way they both have the 3 point-
ed star on the bonnet and ask Donn White what happened to their “Cruze”! They all
suffered from that old men’s complaint “Limp Mode”. To my way of thinking
“Collectable” should no longer mean a car that you can currently pick-up quite cheaply
and hang on to it to reap some capital gains. I reckon if it’s interesting, drives well and is
not a blob-like melted ice-cream job, then it’s collectable. They are still out there as Max
Allan has found out having just returned from the UK for his compulsory sojourn to beat
the Visa blues. He has just scored a Renault Fuego with about 70k on the speedo and it’s
almost like new at an unbelievable price, so he’ll never lose money, but will he make
any? It looks great, handles well with the Citroen sort of engine set-up, therefore it’s
collectable and not an investment to appreciate, or it might a little. Vintage and Veteran
cars are as cheap as they’ll ever be and the Model A fraternity never have cold engines
which would seem to provide a good starting point if you’re thinking that way. Jim Smy-
lie will tell you the Model T put America on wheels, therefore they are still practical Vet-
erans.There are some very interesting vehicles in the “Classic” section of Trademe at
present and I’d be looking at the “Jappers” very carefully. OK, the “Toy Run” organisers
do not permit any of them in the Xmas run, but I had the chance a few years ago to buy
a Datsun 240Z but declined because it was an auto and didn’t see myself doing a conver-
sion to manual. Silly boy. Any of them have gone out through the roof and there are
equivalents out there right now, such as Starion Turbo, early MX5 and MR2 without
even looking at the 6 cylinder saloon car options. I followed an absolutely mint Toyota
Cressida with discreet TRD badge on the boot the other day. A good alternative to the
Editor’s passion for BMW. I have to also doff my flat cap to Graham Inglis for having the
nuts to go motoring in that 1977 Honda Civic. A wee gem.
So, it’s all about going for the less common and as an example, MGB roadsters and GT
models have eased considerably while their running mates, the Triumph TR models of all
sizes are worth quite a bit more because there’s less of them and that takes me back to
my observation that with “Muscle” cars coming in droves, the buyer can call the shots
and appreciation is not likely. I hope I live long enough to say, “Bugger, should have gone
out and bought those Yourin Eights when they were piddlin’ cheap.
Yours contemplatively, Ajay (AKA Alastair Jones)

Registration Frustration, by John Whitcombe.
I have a 1954 BSA B32 Goldstar that may be the genuine article, or may
be a replica. However, it looks like a Goldstar, sounds like a Goldstar, and
goes like a Goldstar - and that is close enough for me.
It came out of a basement where it had been sitting for the last 35 years.
It was a complete bike with not a lot to do to get it running and road
worthy, but it had no number plate and no papers. It has been a long
and frustrating process to get it complied, registered, and road legal.
However, after 6 months with help from various people I have succeed-
ed in getting permission to do so.
Here are some tips on how to get thru the process. The parts in italics
have been added by Andrew Lister, compliance officer NZTA. Although
this was written for a motorcycle it applies to a car as well.
The main concerns of the NZTA are: -
1. That it is a genuine Motorcycle and that it that has been on the
road in NZ at some stage in its life. You will need to prove legal
entitlement. Alternatively, if it has been imported you will need to
prove legal entitlement and proof of previous registration in the
country it was imported from.
2. The NZTA needs to be satisfied that the Bike is genuine and that it
is not a re birthed vehicle (Stolen) or a replica.
3. The main component that the NZTA considers is the frame.
So, when you buy your project bike, photograph and document the pro-
ject right from the start.
Whether it’s a whole bike or a pile of bits, photograph it where you
found it, i.e. spread out on a shed floor or under a cover at the back of a
barn or parked under a tree.
Ask the present owner to write out as much information as he can about
the history of the bike along with a signed and dated receipt. One of the
best things is family photos with the bike in the picture with great uncle
Bulgaria sitting on the bike with the number plate showing. You might
have that much luck but what ever you can get is a real first step.
During the rebuild photograph your progress and keep details of the
parts you bought and where you got them, especially 2nd hand parts,
always keep receipts.
10I have always had this accepted in the past as with all BSAs there are no
drum wear figures to quote.
When the re build is finished go to the Vintage Car Club in your area and
get the local rep to help to apply for a “vehicle authenticity statement “.
There is a fee of $100 for this unless you are a member and then it’s
free.
To do this you will need copies of all your paper work, any photos, and
frame and engine numbers and a Police stolen vehicles form (this can be
done on line) - do this twice, once for the engine number and once for
the frame number.
Then a “statutory declaration in relation to vehicle ownership “. Try the
AA or VTNZ for this (they printed it out for me). If not email me and I will
scan and send you a copy. This will need to be signed in front of a JP or
at the courthouse
If the Vintage Car Club can find details for the bike and do the authentici-
ty statement.
This should be sufficient to apply for a VIN – REGO and a WOF. I use the
AA as they have a vehicle complying department in Tauranga.
Note: The NZTA will consider the Certificate of Authenticity to confirm
year, make and Model but it does not automatically accept the Certifi-
cate of Authenticity as proof of previous registration in NZ
In my case the VCC could not supply the statement as I could not supply
enough information and there was a problem with the engine number.
The next step was to apply to the NZTA for permission to register using
NZTA “alternative documents form CA03 (available on line). A cost of
$186 applies.
This is where you need to supply as much information as possible,
Photos,
Receipts,
Statements from previous owners
Extracts from service or repair manuals
Frame number and engine number identification information
11None of the information that I had supplied even hinted at that, so I
asked how they had been determined this, and the reply was to go to
the Low Vehicle Volume people and apply to have the bike registered
as a scratch built vehicle (THIS IS NOT AN OPTION a motor cycle assem-
bled out of genuine parts is not a scratch built motor cycle).
Again I asked for reason as to why and how they had determined that
the bike was built from parts At this point my emails were no longer
answered.
It now looked like I had reached the end of the line but as always it ‘s
“not what you know but who you know”, which came to my rescue by
telling me that NZTA have Certification Officers—and giving me the
name of Andrew Lister, who is a Certification Officer for the Central
North Island.
I made contact with Andrew and things started to move, he came and
inspected the Motorcycle and looked at the documentation that I had
(not a lot), took photos of the frame and engine numbers and then did
his own investigation.
He made a recommendation that the Bike be accepted as a 1954 BSA
B32 and that it was possible that the frame at least may have been previ-
ously registered in NZ.
And in the mail today a letter to say that “you may register this Motorcy-
cle”.
All in all, a long process, but if you have the right information and won’t
take no for the answer you should follow the foregoing and be able to
get a satisfactory result.
If I can be of any further help Email me at coastbusters@kinect.co.nz
