OECC Picnic August 29 Wings & Wheels 2004 Chris Walker Walter Reynolds In last month's Roundabout Chris Walker's photos from the August 15th Pitt Meadows "Wings & Wheels 2004" Show were published along with a short summary of the Show. Here's the long version: This is the second year that the Reynolds' have been involved, but the first year where the entire event has been organized by yours truly, with Linda looking after the "office work" at the Registration Tent on Show day. 2004 was the first year where we (the Open House Organizing Commit- tee) tried to have classic cars parked with airplanes on the same era. This part of the Show would be on the operating side of the Airport, in the taxiway. As show day came closer, previously committed planes dropped out and the “Park with a Plane” part of the show became one where we assigned About 30 attended our picnic registered cars (drivers had to specially register their car if at Elgin Park Crescent Beach. they wanted to park with a plane) to remaining airplanes Good food, OK weather; all based on the looks of the vehicle compared with the planes had a good time! Chef Itallo available, that is, sporty planes with sporty cars; "cute" cars cooked corn and potatoes for with "cute" planes, etc. On the actual day, though, even everyone; each group cooked this morphed into something different for most of the cars. their own meat. Bocci ball It became a "park with whatever plane you want" event. games (see below), organised Evenso, all went well - I think. We had ten cars parked with by Walter and Linda airplanes, and five of those were British. These included Reynolds, provided great fun. OECC members Chris and Dave Walker's Austin Seven Chummy, Itallo Cirillo's Vauxhall Victor, and Stephen Egerton's Allard Palm Beach. The remaining cars were parked on the south, non-op- erational part of the airport, in the same parking lot we used last year. In the parking lot, there were 52 vehicles , including a 1950s International Harvester flat bed one-ton truck, the New Westminster antique fire truck, the Mundie's Towing 1950s tow truck and OECC members Steve Diggins (Austin Cambridge), Alan Miles (Sunbeam Rapier convert- ible), and our Cambridge and Rover 2000.

  • Le Molte Vite Della TR4, Seconda Parte: TR5, TR250 E TR6
    TRIUMPH IN ITALY www.TriumphInItaly.it Le molte vite della TR4, seconda parte: TR5, TR250 e TR6 Di Aaron Severson Con il debutto della TR4A nel 1965, la Triumph aveva finalmente una sportiva con moderne sospensioni indipendenti che si sposavano bene con il frizzante stile italiano, ma presto venne deciso che la TR aveva bisogno di più potenza, oltre che di un vestito nuovo. Il risultato furono due auto familiari nell’aspetto ma con motori completamente nuovi, seguite dopo meno di due anni da un modello dall’aspetto nuovo con caratteristiche tecniche déjà vu. In questa seconda parte della storia della TR4, tratteremo delle Triumph TR5 PI, TR250 e TR6 prodotte tra il 1968 e il 1976. Foto dell’autore. WASP: SEI NELLA TR4 Nella prima parte di questo articolo abbiamo raccontato le origini e lo sviluppo della Triumph TR4, lanciata nella primavera del 1961 per rimpiazzare la TR3. Nata come un amalgama di diversi studi di stile elaborate da Giovanni Michelotti, la TR4 era essenzialmente una nuova carrozzeria su un telaio TR3 rimaneggiato, modificato con l’introduzione di una carreggiata più larga, uno sterzo a Le molte vite della TR4, seconda parte: TR5, TR250 e TR6 1 TRIUMPH IN ITALY www.TriumphInItaly.it cremagliera e l’adozione come motorizzazione standard del 4 cilindri a valvole in testa da 2.138 cc a camicie umide (“wet-sleeve”) che era opzionale nella TR3. La linea della TR4 e la sua maggiore raffinatezza trovarono una buona accoglienza, ma con parecchi malumori per la guida faticosa e la tenuta di strada incerta sullo sconnesso.

  • Wessex Ways’ February 2020
    WESSEX VEHICLE PRESERVATION CLUB FOUNDED 1971 www.wvpc.org.uk ‘WESSEX WAYS’ FEBRUARY 2020 VEHICLE OF THE MONTH The Austin Cambridge (sold as A40, A50, A55, and A60) is a motor car range produced by the Austin Motor Company, in several generations, from September 1954 through to 1971 as cars and to 1973 as light commercials. It replaced the A40 Somerset and was entirely new, with modern unibody construction. The range had two basic body styles with the A40, A50, and early A55 using a traditional rounded shape and later A55 Mark IIs and A60s using Pininfarina styling. The A40 number was re-used on a smaller car (the Austin A40 Farina) from 1958 to 1968, and the Cambridge name had previously been used to designate one of the available body styles on the pre-war 10 hp range. The Austin Cambridge was initially offered only with a four-passenger, four-door saloon body, although a few pre-production two-door models were also made. It had a modern body design with integrated wings and a full-width grille. Independent suspension was provided at the front by coil springs and wishbones while a live axle with anti-roll bar was retained at the rear. A van derivative introduced in November 1956 and a coupé utility (pick up) introduced in May 1957 and remained available until 1974, some three years after the demise of the cars on which they had been based. A40 CAMBRIDGE A 1.2-litre straight-four pushrod engine B-Series engine based on the one used in the previous Austin Somerset (although sharing no parts) powered the new Austin Cambridge.

  • Production Data 83
    Production Data 83 Production Dates & Commission Numbers When ordering parts, it is essential that you identify your car exactly, by model year and serial number. Since many part changes were made during model years, the commission number, engine number and body number provide the only positive identification. Quite often a car’s title will not show the correct model year. Before ordering parts, please record the applicable numbers from your car. Using these numbers is the best way to ensure that you order and receive the correct parts.

  • 8 Travellers Car
    8 Travellers Car he Morris Traveller, as it has affectionately become known, has gained a well deserved reputation for being a practical and versatile vehicle. However, like the light commercial vehicles, it did not feature in the original line-up launched in 1948. In fact, the Traveller has the distinction of being the last Morris Minor model to enter production. It was not until autumn of 1953 that the Traveller made its debut atT the London Motor Show. Full scale production began in October of that year. Interestingly, the brochure issued at the Motor Show did not refer to the vehicle as a Traveller. American influences were clearly at work, and the designation ‘Station Wagon’ was used instead. Coincidentally, the contemporary term ‘Shooting Brake’ was also applied to the Traveller. However this was never an official designation, merely a carry over from the pre-war era when this terminology was used to describe estate type models, particularly those with wooden panelling. It is, however, a description still used today by those who have fond memories of the Traveller in its hey day. The Station Wagon designation, however apt, was short lived. Within a matter of months, updated brochures were describing the vehicle as the ‘Travellers Car,’ and linking its promotion to the bigger-engined and larger proportioned Morris Oxford Series MO Travellers Car. Advertising ran concurrent for a time, presumably to give prospective customers a choice with regard to which Morris vehicle they would like. This followed the trend already noted in connection with Morris Motors intention to manufacture large, The combined attraction of having the features of a saloon, as well as those of a light, general purpose vehicle, were actively promoted.

  • The Riley One-Point-Five Sports Sedan by Rick Feibusch
    The Riley One-Point-Five Sports Sedan By Rick Feibusch The late 1950's imported car boom in America was fueled by dozens of mechanically interesting and unusual cars that were brought to us from all over the world. American car buyers had gone through the car famine of the war-torn Forties, the reintroduction of outdated prewar models, and the plethora of new cars from US manufacturers, starting with the Studebaker in mid-1946 through the revolutionary Chevy V8s in 1955. One thing was cl ear, American cars were generally getting bigger, faster and flashier by the day. The British had opened the imported car market in the States years before Japanese or European manufacturing firms had recovered from the hostilities.

Foreign car sales started to climb and actually take of f once cars from Europe and Scandinavia appeared on our shores. By 1957, the numbers had become big enough to alarm the usually lethargic Detroit to a point that the big three had “import fighting” compacts on their respective drawing boards. Americans ha d become less skeptical and the foreign car business was here to stay.

While thousands of clever and ec onomical little transportation devices built by Austin, Morris, Renault, Volkswagen and others made their way to our shores each year.
