To be successful and maintain interest, a Website needs regular updating. I know our members will agree that our Website in its upgraded form has progressed significantly since Shane Gibson rebuilt it and offered his ongoing voluntary support as our Webmaster. Shane has recently suggested that members could contribute to the content by sending in photos of their favorite vehicle, together with associated descriptive copy. Additionally, members with a particular interest in any model, having researched its history, may care to contribute relevant photos and a supporting article. We would like to encourage your support in this area and ask you to forward copy as outlined above directly to Shane at [email protected]. We look forward to receiving your contributions. Peter Mackie June–July 2010 1 From the Driver’s Seat ... A Message from your National President I would like to thank our Hosts at the recent A.G.M. and Mini Rally. The venue, food, Rally, Faraday’s Museum, Saturday night entertainment and particularly the mind boggling visit to Beechams Empire of Excellence were first class. They even laid on the weather! The standard of workmanship at Beechams was absolutely outstanding and the range of work amazing, though I think I would have to win Lotto several times over before contemplating a booking. I would like to congratulate Des Cooper on the award of the Founders Trophy. Des has been a long time member of the Club and a keen supporter over the years. I would also like to thank our Patron Ian Hill for making the difficult decision with other worthy nominees. As usual, the best part was catching up with old friends and meeting some new faces and I am really looking forward to the National Rally in Blenheim. It has all the hallmarks of a cracker. Ed Hayhoe National President Invitation to Daimler Owners and Enthusiasts The Daimler and Lanchester Owners Club have proposed a “North Island Get Together” in Rotorua for October 2010. The SP250 Clubs Rotorua maestro, Harvey James, has indicated his readiness to assist with preparations for such an event, with a little help from some Rotorua- based DLOC folk. It is hoped we will attract support for this event from the SP250 Club, Wellington Daimler Enthusiasts Club and DLOCNZ. This will be a great opportunity for owners and enthusiasts of the Daimler marque to meet and share our common interest. Tentative date is for October 10th–11th, an indication of your support would be appreciated. Mike King, secretary, DLOCNZ. [email protected] 06 3571237 / 0274 482752 2 Daimler & Lanchester Owners’ Club in New Zealand Inc Getting up to Speed ... A Word from your National Secretary A warm welcome to Ronald Bavage of Snells Beach in Auckland. He has rejoined after an absence and has a V8 owned for 35 years. Barry and Judy Cropp of Thames have a Daimler V8 Our AGM went without a hitch. After a little prodding with a sharp stick, Paul Edginton took on the role of Vice President, welcome to the Executive Paul. All reports were passed unanimously, followed by some discussion on the “Single Make Club” involvement with the VCC Rally 2012. A copy is included in this magazine for those who may wish to participate. We will not be participating as a club. Winston also gave a report on next years 40th anniversary Rally in Blenheim. This will be held 30th April/1st May 2011. National is providing generous member funding so mark your calendar – NOW. Peter gave a brief report on the FOMC meeting held the previous week. They have a website www.fomc.co.nz where you can view there submissions and other aspects of their work on behalf of member clubs. They are keen to attract additional clubs to join the ranks to gain numeric strength and also spread their costs. The Hawkes Bay crew organized a great weekend, the 1913 Daimler parked outside, a great venue and catering, an interesting run and Faraday centre visit. For many, Dr Beecham’s restoration-plus complex was a highlight. For all, it was a time of fellowship for our members. This year, the Founders Trophy was awarded to Des Cooper. Des has been involved with the Daimler Club since March 1976, holding office at Branch and National level, certainly a most worthy recipient. Peter reports that Sherriff Empson extracted $53.70 from Rally transgressors, which along with any rally surplus will go to the Salvation Army. Times must be tough, a 20 cent coin was amongst the collection. (There must have also been a 50 cent as well!) We have completed a reprint of our rule books to include the 2002 amendments and have also updated to include gender corrections where necessary. These will be posted to members shortly. In October, we are planning a “North Island get- together of Daimlers from all clubs. This Rotorua-based weekend is being organized by Harvey James from the SP250 Club with assistance from Lindsay and Cathy Donahue from DLOC. We also look forward to support from the Wellington Daimler Enthusiasts Club. I have a disturbing tale to relate, I was recently captured and driven across town on the pretence of improving the pain in my knee. I was lulled into a false sense of security by some very nice young ladies, then bingo, this guy with a masked face drugged me into unconsciousness. Unbeknown to me, he and his masked cronies (they obviously didn’t June–July 2010 3 want to be identified) severely severed my right leg, broke my bones in two places and then tried to repair it by gluing in some bits of metal followed by trying to tie it all back together with sticky tape and string! When I finally came too after this serious assault, I was in severe pain and totally unable to walk. These “nice” people then made me struggle out of bed, tossed me a pair of crutches with the instruction “walk as much as you can.” Yeah right! Several of my friends also tell me they have had similar experiences…….. However, thanks to these very clever people, I am now back home and the new knee is starting to behave as it ought, can’t wait to get back driving, working, climbing under cars, and all those other activities that make up my day. Mike King VCC RALLY 2012 SINGLE MAKE VEHICLE ORGANISED RUNS 23 JANUARY 2012 In late 2009 I wrote to your Club inviting your members to join the Vintage Car Club entrants on the Single Make outing during the VCC Rally 2012 being held in Wanganui from 16–26 January 2012. On careful consideration, the Organising Committee has

    The Daimler Motor Company Limited (GB) 1896 - 2011 Daimler Motor Company The Daimler Motor Company Limited (GB) 1896 - 2011 Daimler (GB) 1896-2011.doc 2 / 22 Daimler Motor Company The Daimler Motor Company Limited The Daimler Motor Company was a British motor vehicle manufacturing company, founded in 1896, and based in Coventry. The company became a subsidiary of Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in 1910, and was acquired by Jaguar Cars in 1960. Ownership of the Daimler marque stayed with Jaguar Cars through subsequent mergers with British Motor Holdings and British Leyland, remaining with Jaguar when the company regained its independence in 1984. In 1989 the Daimler badge transferred to the ownership of the Ford Motor Company when Jaguar Cars became a subsidiary of the American giant, and was subsequently incorporated into Ford's Premier Automotive Group. In March 2008 the Daimler brand was included in Ford's sale of Jaguar Land Rover to Tata Motors of India. As of 2006, the use of the Daimler brand was limited to one model, the Daimler Super Eight. As of 2011, the brand appears to be dormant. Origins of the name Confusingly, the name Daimler is used by two completely separate groups of car manufacturers. The history of both companies can be traced back to the German engineer Gottlieb Daimler who built the first four- wheeled car in 1889. This was the origin of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, which is translated as Daimler Motor Company (aka, Daimler Germany), which has manufactured vehicles since the 1890s. Gottlieb Daimler died in 1900, having sold licences to use the Daimler name in a number of countries.
