NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017 NEWSLETTER CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME Hello to all club members and welcome to the Nov/Dec edition of the club newsletter. This is the last letter for 2017 and my first as your new chairman. I hope to see you all attending the club meetings and events in the coming months. A very successful AGM was held on October 24th with a good attendance of around 50 members. I am pleased to say that we now have a full contingent of officers to run the club with John Lamy as vice chairman, Pam Laurens in charge of the social team and Joan Gardner joining the social committee. Thanks to you all for coming forward and agreeing to help with the running of the club. Retiring from service are Simon Drieu, the outgoing chairman and Barry Gale who has decided to call it a day on the social committee, many thanks to both for all their hard work over the years. Another post that is currently on the change is that of newsletter editor. Richard Hunt is stepping down after 4 years and Sue Le Moel has agreed to help with this job, many thanks to you both. Your club membership renewal is now due and the updated renewal form is attached. As you will see there are some changes with the fee for a single at £20 and a family membership now £30. There is also a £5 extra charge if you require a hard copy of the letter sent in the post. The subscriptions have been static for a long time and these new fees were agreed at the AGM with no objections. I would urge members to try to use the email facility if possible to assist with the workload involved in producing a printed copy. It just remains for me to say a big thank you to all the committee members for all their hard work in 2017, and to wish you all a Happy Christmas and safe motoring in 2018. Cheers for now, Tim Pallot SEPTEMBER CAR OF THE MONTH: J36254 1967 FORD ANGLIA DELUXE 105E – 2 DOOR SALOON – owned by Frank and Pam Laurens The Ford Anglia is a compact car which was designed and manufactured by Ford UK. It is related to the Ford Prefect and the later Ford Popular. The Anglia name was applied to various models between 1939 and 1967. A total of 1,594,486 Anglias were produced. It was replaced by the Ford Escort. I bought J36254 in 2013, it was a runner but in need of some TLC. Working full time until the end of 2015 meant her restoration was on the back burner. At the end of 2015, I was forced to vacate my workshop after over 30 years which was an enormous wrench for me. Pam and I attended the Spring Bingo club event in March 2016 and I found myself sitting by my good friend Peter Hamon. As happens at these events the chat led to what was happening during the coming year. This was the first event that Peter and Cynthia had attended and I asked if they had ever thought of going on the St Helen run in Brittany which takes place in June of each year. We have been several times and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Peter said they couldn't go because he didn't have a classic car. Well, the well-oiled grey cells had a long think and committed me in saying to Peter - “I have a car I can lend you for the trip, a Ford Anglia”. Peter and Cynthia were thrilled and the trip was booked in a jiffy. PETROLEUM DISTRIBUTORS (JERSEY) LTD La Collette, St Helier, Jersey Tel: (01534) 826826 (General enquiries) or (01534) 826800 (Fuel/Oil deliveries) I now knew I had to get the Anglia in tip top condition for June, which gave me just under three months! It was a great incentive for me as I had been very depressed at the prospect of giving up the workshop in St Mary. Getting stuck into the Anglia gave me something to focus on and I had to finish it so it was ready for June. It was ready and she looked magnificent, ice blue is a smart colour, even though I say it myself. However, having given all my time to her meant I hadn't been able to do my Austin Metropolitan, so she had to wait another year! Peter and Cynthia have allowed me to keep the Anglia at their home and in exchange they are able to drive her whenever they wish. She has been to Guernsey this year and several of the Classic vehicle events. I am so pleased for Peter and Cynthia that she was chosen as car of the month in September, when they were using her at the Club meeting. She will be 50 years old next year and I think she deserves a special trip of some kind! RECENT EVENTS SAMARES MANOR COUNTRY FAYRE On Bank Holiday Monday August 28th the club attended the Samares Manor Country Fayre to put on a static display of vehicles. The weather was glorious on the day which encouraged a good turn-out of 28 cars, 2 tractors & 2 motorbikes, this number including our UK member John Wood with his well turned out Triumph car on his annual visit to the island. The event was well attended by the public again showing great interest in all the vehicles in the beautiful grounds of the manor. Thanks to all the members who attended & put on an excellent display.

After meeting at Pier road car park fellowship members were assigned to the 9 classic cars available & we set off in a westerly direction heading out of town & through St Peters valley & then heading towards St Ouens taking in some fantastic views of the bay in the bright sunny weather. After a coffee stop at Jersey Pearl the cavalcade continued along the south coast to arrive at the Ambassadeur Hotel where 59 guests enjoyed an excellent lunch followed by a raffle. Thanks to all the club members who attended & to Ossie Baudains for preparing the route & to Trevor & Pearl Bayliss who organised the event.

And though Bob has retired his old Underwood from active editorial duty, his work will still appear in these pages from time-te-time. All of us owe Bob a debt of gratitude for his foresight and determination in making the Registry a reality.

A series of images showing the view from cars spanning from a 1908 Ford Model T up to a new Ford Mustang shines a light on just how far headlight technology has come. The cyclist is just 12 metres ahead of each vehicle illuminating the scene. Drivers of the Model T – more than 15 million of which were sold from 1908 to 1927 – would have to first light the acetylene lamps before hitting the road.

    North American English Ford Registry c/o Robert ?!.Pare' 513 Deubler Road Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011 Volume I, Number 1 January 1992 Dear XAEFR Member and/or English Ford Enthusiast: Last April when I first considered the idea of starting up a club for Sglish Ford enthusiasts like myself, I just knew that, one day in the future, I would have to slip a blank piece of paper into my ancient Olivetti - and produce a newsletter. That day has arrived.... As I sit here to begin this today, it is January 6, 1992, and we have fifty- one dues-paid members; so we begin. I'm not sure that 51 members is good or bad, but I promised myself not to have any expectations about numbers, so I guess 51 members must be &. Those 51 members are receiving this first newsletter. In addition, I am sending it along to 112 other people - most of whom received my November 1991 letter introducing this new club. These 112 haven't responded with a hiembership Application, so I thought I'd give them one last shot to join us right at the start. So - if you are reading this, but you have not paid your ten-dollar dues, please do so right away. If I do not hear from you, I will assume you are not a prospect - and remove your naroe fron ros mailing list. I do hope you'll join - the more the better.... Ny aims for this club are pretty simple. I hope to provide a real service for the members, first of all.
