Chairman Chat
Hi folks trust you are all staying safe, staying at home and in good health. It’s quite strange to write my Chairman’s chat when we haven’t had a club meeting or the Drive it Day (social Run and Treasure Hunt).
We have had to cancel our Problems and Solutions club night this month and also the presentation of David Smith and Peter Roca with Honorary Membership of the club, hopefully we will be able to make these awards at a meeting later this year when things have returned to normal.
We have also had to cancel The Wirral Classic Car Show for this year, which was to take place on the 10th May, I have sent out an email to the people who returned entry forms, informing them of the cancellation and also to Andrew Pimbley at Claremont Farm.
As a group we have been active on “Facebook” and now have 128 members a big thanks to John Cartlidge for organising the quizzes and all those members who have taken the time and made the effort to respond and add interesting articles, photos and comments. We have had a good response to our request for unusual photos of your car and/or components at the time of writing and there is still time to enter before the closing date of 11th May when the Committee and John Cartlidge will hopefully agree on a winner, providing the situation allows a bottle of wine will be delivered to their home.
David Boumphrey has been tirelessly working away on the Newsletter and also offering his services to members who have not been able to publish their photos for the above-mentioned competition.
If you have any ideas for keeping us all amused or have a story, anecdote or just something you may feel will be interesting to members give me or David a bell, alternatively add it to our Facebook site.
Please take care to add to The Wirral Classic Car Club Site as there is another site with a similar name Wirral Classic Cars Club which is nothing to do with us.
If you wish to contact other members their contact details are in the Handbook.
Best wishes
Ralph Wilson

Page 4 NEWS FROM THE FEDERATION In issue 5 2019 of the News there are a few articles which may be of interest to members: These have been copied on these pages. A full copy and back issues of the News can be seen by Clicking Here. The latest copy of the NEWS is Issue 2 2020 in either PDF or DOC format. General Welcome to the new non-EU Britain! (Although at the moment it feels very much like the old EU one.) This quarter brings further developments which have an impact on historic vehicles, and again a period where there is little clarity about the future.
Clean Air Zones & Low Emission Zones Clean Air Zones, Low Emission Zones or Ultra Low Emission Zones, which I am increasingly referring to as CAZ/LEZ remain proposed for many areas, and the future seems to include a myriad of road user restrictions all enforced by Automatic Number plate Recognition [ANPR] and civil penalty charges [PCN’s]. No further significant developments to CAZ/LEZ have been published. York has claimed a “voluntary LEZ” as a result of agreeing with all local bus operators to use low emission buses in the historic city centre, and Harrow, currently outside the North Circular and therefore outside the planned extended London ULEZ have indicated their interest in extending the ULEZ to their borough, subject to getting funding to do so. Bradford has published an early-stage proposal to introduce a Low Emission Zone but excluding cars and motorcycles. We are currently looking at this and will be responding. There have been several on-line checking systems introduced. Transport for London have a checking system for their ULEZ although this is known to be inaccurate at times, and doesn’t include some London Authorities plans to introduce “school run” car bans around London schools, or to impose raised charges for having resident’s parking permits where non-compliant older cars are parked on the street. There is a national CAZ checking system, newly introduced, which seems to check CAZ zones in Leeds and Birmingham (neither of which exist yet) but ignores London’s ULEZ. There have been queries about its accuracy too. Scotland has introduced its own simple checking system which seems not to include any historic vehicle exemptions which have been proposed and does not mention any of the above. Clearly there is some way to go before your Satnav will advise you of any upcoming zones and direct you to avoid them or find you a car park where you can stop while you pay all the charges online! At this stage however, apart from the central London ULEZ the establishment of all of these zones is on hold pending implementation of the ANPR systems, which seem to need an increasingly complex set of variable parameters to manages all the zones, and a huge interfacing increase with the DVLA systems. The current target for completion of this work was July 2020 but has now been extended to August.
A Legal Conundrum When the London ULEZ was introduced, this was done by a Local Authority Traffic Management Order made in 2014, and with variations confirmed by the then Mayor of London in 2015. Under this variation, a ‘non-chargeable vehicle’ included a vehicle which is… “an exempt vehicle within the meaning of paragraph I A of Schedule 2 to the 1994 Act [i.e defined as a tax- exempt Historic Vehicle] and particulars of the vehicle are for the time being entered in the register.” A vehicle also qualifies for exemption “if it was constructed before 1st January 1973 and particulars of the vehicle are for the time being entered in the register.” You will see that for both exemptions there is a requirement for the vehicle to be registered with Transport for London to qualify for the exemption. However, what TfL’s website says is somewhat different:
Page 5 “If your vehicle meets the above criteria and is registered in the UK, it is automatically exempt and you don't need to register with us. If your vehicle meets the above criteria but is registered outside the UK, you are also exempt, but will need to register with us. Details on how you can register will be available closer to the time.” The disparity is that TfL’s guidance claims that UK historic vehicles are ‘automatically exempt’ and do not need to register, which contradicts the legal Order, but does seem to be how the ULEZ actually operates. My predecessor, Bob Owen, had noted this and made enquiries, but never received a satisfactory explanation. More recently, the draft Orders for the Birmingham and Leeds Clean Air Zones contain similar wording and appear to have the same requirement – namely that to obtain Historic Vehicle status exemption, you would have to register the vehicle with the Local Authority concerned. In both cases however, council officials have been adamant that this is not how the schemes will operate and that Historic Vehicles will be automatically exempt. Later proposals by other councils where a draft Order has been published do not contain this anomaly. In the past few weeks, the Federation has been looking at a new Direct Vision standard and permit system for lorries entering London, introduced by Transport for London. The TfL website outlining the scheme clearly states that tax-exempt Historic Vehicles are exempt, however in looking at the legal Order made by TfL, no such exemption could be found, although TfL had awarded itself powers to make further unspecified exemptions. An enquiry with TfL to clarify this remains unanswered at this time. This does create a serious conundrum. Technically if you were to drive your historic vehicle into one of these zones without registering, you would not be exempt from charges and could face receiving a PCN. In practice however, it seems you would not because you are effectively invited participate in a scheme with diverges from the apparent legal requirement by the Local Authority who wrote the Order. On this basis, a ‘cautious’ approach to the London, Leeds and Birmingham systems would be to register your vehicle irrespective of whether it was claimed to be necessary, in strict compliance with the legal Order. This remains an issue which is unresolved and one where we continue to seek clarity. Clearly it leaves our members in a rather uncertain position when driving in these areas.
New Cars Readers will have seen the widely reported proposals to ban the sale of new liquid-fuelled cars after 2035 or 2032. This is of course outside our field of interest but will have a bearing on the take-up of non-liquid fuelled vehicles such as electric cars, and in the long term, the availability of fuels.
Tyres We continue to monitor the proposed ‘10-year tyre ban’ for commercial vehicle tyres. No more has been heard. We will continue to work to find out the Government’s decision on a way forward. WE believe with the size and scale of the various transport and environmental schemes being considered, the ‘tyres’ proposal is somewhere near the bottom of the priority list and may remain there for some time.
DVLA & Registration Ian Edmunds Normal service is resumed with this issue following the absence of any input from me for the first issue of the New Year. Put very simply – I forgot! I was a long way away on holiday over Christmas and New Year and failed to pick up all the threads when I returned. As expected, our last scheduled meeting with DVLA was postponed ostensibly due to a lack of new business but in reality, I suspect it was a victim of the pre-election purdah that prevents Civil Service meetings in the run up to an election. Whether or not that meeting would have enabled any progress on our major outstanding issues I’m frankly not sure! Without that opportunity for face-to-face discussions I wrote to DVLA during the early part of the year in an attempt to progress some of those major issues. Additionally, I chased a response promised in June last year but not yet provided! This was to a request for further clarification of the situation regarding original and copied documents for registration applications. At the time of writing no acknowledgement or reply to any of these has been received. We will persevere! The All-Party Parliamentary Historic Vehicles Group has been reconvened following the establishment of the new Government. Our Chairman, David Whale, attended a meeting in early March which was well attended by members of both Houses. David explained some of the current difficulties being experienced with historic
Page 6 vehicle registration, the Group expressed their support and various ways forward were discussed. We shall be working closely with them in the coming months. Reverting to the subject of copied or original documents, I have received some reports that copies of RF60 or VE60 old style logbooks were being rejected for V765 applications. I do not believe this is in line with the guidance provided to clubs by DVLA in the V765/3 document. Now, having recently been called upon to assist with a particular V765 application, I can state very clearly that correctly authorised copies of a RF60 were accepted without question and the registration issued very promptly. I feel that it is worth repeating that amongst all the travails that currently appear to assail the first registration process, whether DVLA will admit them or not, the V765 system continues to operate as well as ever. Recent correspondence suggests that it may be beneficial to again draw attention to a particular, long standing, DVLA ruling. Expressed very simply it is this, if the chassis of a vehicle is modified DVLA will consider the vehicle to no longer be the original vehicle to which the registration was issued and that registration will be made void. The situation is exactly the same with modified monocoque bodyshells for more modern cars and for motorcycle frames. The vehicle can then only be registered with a Q plate for which an IVA or equivalent is required. I am, however, able to close on a more cheerful note with news of two forthcoming FBHVC initiatives. As mentioned at Club Expo, towards the end of the year we will be asking member clubs for details of how many registration applications they have made and how many have been successful. This information when collated will be very useful in assessing how well, or otherwise, the DVLA systems are operating and the magnitude of any problems. In addition to this our newly appointed Projects Coordinator, Chris Cartmell, is working on a series of simple guidebooks for various activities which we hope will be a useful reference for clubs. The first of these will cover the DVLA registration processes.

Engine was in good running condition. Bought for restoration and repaint into its original livery. Green/White.
Full strip down. Remember to take plenty of pictures to help with rebuild. Also label and list parts to go for repairs. Remember to keep copies.
Repairs to panels and check fuel tank condition. Always take advice from specialists. Sealing type paints are available for inside tanks.
Frame and small parts have been sent away for powder coating. Found a local firm who did excellent job at a reasonable price. Tank, mudguards and side box covers sprayed.
Always start a rebuild with new stock of nuts and bolts. Again, always take advice from specialists they can supply original threads and safety quality. Fifty-year-old nuts and bolts go to recycling skip. Also, top quality chroming can be expensive but does give you a pleasing result.
FB up and running with new rebuilt wheels and new tyres.
Page 10 A Miniature A60 - Fred Smith
In the early 1980’s the owner of an Austin A40 (the early model,) would show at rallies with a child’s pedal car of the same shape. These pedal cars were made by disabled drivers in South Wales. This particular Austin owner would travel with the model car attached to the roof of the A40. This gave me the idea of making a scale model of my own Austin Cambridge A60, but what scale should I choose to make it possible for me to construct?
I decided 1/8 scale would allow me scope to reproduce all the car’s details. The next step was to produce working drawings of the car as I wanted the model to be as accurate as possible. I started by measuring all the underneath, chassis, axle, prop shaft etc. When it came to drawing the body work I had to create datums by placing wooden straight edges at various points in order to record shape and curves.
For material brass right angle section was used for the main chassis and aluminium for the body shape, with balsa wood for the final profile. The door hinges gave some problems as they are designed to ‘throw off’ the door to clear the body. I had some red hide leather off cuts, so this was used for the seating.
When the body was ready for painting, I used aerosol paint of the right colour. This paint does not take kindly to wood even though sealing and undercoat were applied. The paint had dried leaving a pattern rather like crazy paving, lots of rubbing fortunately got rid of these marks. For chrome items i.e. bumpers etc aluminium was used and with a final polish with Autosol metal polish the effect of chrome was achieved.
One of the difficulties I encountered was locating wheels of the correct size, these were eventually obtained from Shrewsbury model shop- just what I needed- rubber tyres in packs of two for £7.50. £15 for the 4 tyres! They are the only items I had to buy for the model. I managed to make everything else myself from offcuts.
Now that the body was complete it needed an engine. I made drawings of each item under the bonnet and again, aluminium was used. I found that the thread size 11BA gave me nuts the correct size across flats for the cylinder head nuts. I realized at this stage that once the ‘engine’ was put in position it was not going to be easy to see some items such as the oil filter bowl, distributor etc. Therefore, before final installation I took photographs of the finished work. The length of the model’s engine was 2 ins from front to rear.
Having got so far in reproducing CHF 936D in miniature it had to have its own set of tools of course. These include pliers, hammer, adjustable spinner, tyre lever and screwdriver, not forgetting a wheel jack and starting handle.
One thing was still missing after all these were made and that was the workshop manual. This was achieved by taking photos of each page of the manual to give a contact print 1” x 1.5”. This enabled me to put together a miniature manual which now makes the car complete.
I enjoyed making the model over a period of approximately two years and now to see the smiles on people’s faces when they view it makes it well worth the hours of effort.
