What a good turn-up from the TCCV. For more information on this event, check out the report in this Trumpet. In June we have New Member’s Day at the Sky High Restaurant in the Dandenongs. Refer to page 45 of the June Royalauto magazine for an article on the restaurant. An area will be set aside for TCCV Members so please advise the Events Coordinator, Peter Welten, if you are attending. Each adult will receive a $10 meal discount, and each car will have the $5 Parklands entry refunded. After the meal a photo shoot of the cars and those attending will take place in front of the Restaurant. I encourage all New Members in the last 12 months to attend. It is fast approaching our August AGM. The current Committee have all served for two years and I’m sure most of them will be looking for a break. If you are interested in getting involved on the TCCV Committee please contact any of the existing Committee Members. A reminder that David Ferguson’s emergency bonnet latches for the TR4 to TR6 are still available. If you have ever had the bonnet cable snap you will know that it is very difficult to open the bonnet and David’s latch enables you to do so. Contact Terry Roche if you would like one. The price is right – free. Thanks again David. On TV recently an RBT officer warned a driver of his illegal steering wheel. The issue being that the after- market wheel did not have a crash pad like the OEM wheel that it replaced. I have a SAAS wheel on the Stag and I have re-drilled the crash pad locator hole so that the original rubber crash pad can be fitted. See photos at right. Don’t miss the GM this month as Travis Osborne from The Mobile Tyre Shop is our guest speaker and rumour has it that he will be raffling a set of tyres for your Triumph!

Bit chilly around the ears with the top down as the weather forecast said it was going to be a nice day. At the meeting point there was the Rover Car Club, and Ford Car Clubs. We got away at the scheduled time of 9.30am and took the scenic route via the Lilydale Airport to Yarra Glen. The TCCV were allocated a nice grassed area near the grandstand opposite the Rover guys. First thing we did was set up and had a hot cuppa. This is the first time the TCCV had ventured to Yarra Glen as a Club organised event for the National Heritage Day. All monies collected from the gate went to the CFA. This day is organised by the AOMC. The overall quality of Classics on display on the day was excellent. The war time Army guys had an enormous display of a variety of vehicles from past wars. Everything was covered; including trucks, bikes and cars. The Local Kindergarten catered for the food and did an excellent job. Their hamburger with the lot was huge. I hope that they get the job again next year as I’m looking forward to another one! There were also some Trade Stalls. One of the guys, John Smith, who sells battery chargers, has been invited to provide a guest presentation at our July GM. I thought that they were excellent value compared to the C-Tec Chargers. All present agreed that we will put this firmly on the Events Calendar again next year as we all enjoyed a very nice day. 6 2015 National Motoring Heritage Day Attendees: Nigel Spragg - Vitesse, Kaylene and Nick Skinner – Stag, John Smith & Ray Pepper – Stag, Shane and Dale Houghton – Stag, Terry Roche – TR6, George and Jean Coulter – TR7, Paul & Karen Newell and their son James, and Graeme Oxley – Stag. Graeme Oxley Monthly General Meetings General Meetings are held monthly on the third Wednesday of the month, except for the month of December and the month in which an AGM is held.

  • Standard's Vanguard Story
    www.wheels-alive.co.uk Standard’s Vanguard Story Published: 28th October 2020 Author: Dave Moss Online version: https://www.wheels-alive.co.uk/standards-vanguard-story/ This superb 1948 Phase I belongs to Mark Denton, who restored the car in 1992. Standard’s Vanguard Story First World Car to final swansong in under 20 years. Dave Moss describes the history of this boldly-conceived model… Kim adds: Please note, this feature is intended to provide a general outline of the history of www.wheels-alive.co.uk all the Vanguards produced, to help those who may be unfamiliar with Standards bearing the name, rather than a detailed description of each version. (All photographs by Kim Henson, who personally thanks all the Vanguard owners who have enthusiastically helped to tell the story of their models to a wider audience. Some of the photographs were taken at the Standard Motor Club’s excellent International Rallies held in recent years. Others were taken with the kind help of Mark Denton, Vanguard enthusiast extraordinaire). Today the term “world car” is familiar even to those with only a passing interest in the vast industry that designs and makes motor vehicles. Cars are nowadays routinely built around the globe with multiple markets in mind, and despatched to territories worldwide, heading to buyers unaware of how well travelled their new vehicle already is. Though this approach might seem a fairly recent phenomenon, in 2020 its 75 years since what’s widely regarded as the first genuine world car was created. The concept’s originator was the Standard Motor Company’s then newly knighted managing director, Sir John Black, who, like industry leaders across Britain after the second world war, returned to car making under a government edict to prioritise exports.

EDITORIAL Dear Razoredge Owners’ Club Members, Welcome to Flaming June, we hope, and in particular to fine weather for our meeting at Hanbury Hall on June 11th. You’ll find fuller details of the arrangements within this edition. The idea of a club rally doesn’t necessarily appeal to everyone; a member recently told me “I don’t have a woolly hat or a beard, and I can’t see any point spending a day sitting in a field.” It’s not as bad as all that! However, for members who don’t particularly enjoy the traditional rally gathering, or who live too far away to contemplate driving to Worcester, our ‘What’s On’ pages list a wide variety of events, activities and meetings all around the country and further abroad.

But that styling certainly left an imprint on Bob Mann, one that kept him searching for a Mayflower for many years as Pat recently found out. “After I left school I worked for a few months in the local Standard/Triumph/Ferguson dealer here in Nowra,” recalled Bob. A Mayflower occasionally came in for service. The unique shape and the styling really appealed to me and I promised myself that if I ever had the chance I would buy one.” The reasons for the Mayflower’s appearance have a great deal to do with Sir John Black, Standard- Triumph’s autocratic chief in the immediate post-World War Two years.

The Triumph Mayflower fitting this description was registered on August 1, 1953 at Horsmonden in Kent but, the following spring, torrential rainfall caused the local river Telse to flood, half submerging the car.
