Durnovaria 1008 Newsletter September 2017 DURNOVARIA 1008 NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER 2017 The Essential Newsletter for the MG Owners Club Dorchester Area 1008 The British Motor Museum - ‘Old Number One’ MGOC Durnovaria 1008 - September 2017 Old Number One - a Brief History Front cover story The rather charming 1925 cherry red sports car on the front cover is the first MG to be built specifically to compete in sporting events. I took the photograph whilst on a recent visit to The British Motor Museum. The reason we had gone to the Birmingham area was that Sarah had planned a visit to the Quilting Exhibition at the NEC. This was to be a two-day session, but I declined the offer to join her and the hoards of other quilters, (probably mentioning that I would rather boil my own head), so I planned a two day petrol-head session for myself, taking in The British Motor Museum and the National Motorcycle Museum at Meriden Cecil Kimber and the ‘MG’ Special after preliminary testing and somewhere else, which I am too embarrassed to mention (oh alright, it was a bus museum!) The former Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon in Warwickshire has now been renamed the ‘British Motor Museum’ after a five million pound revamp with the aid of lottery funding. It now features over 250 cars on display and a fascinating ‘reserve collection’. With my obvious connections with things MG, on my visit I sought out quite a few interesting cars, including a rather nice black 1954 MG TF 1250 very similar to my own. There was also a fascinating cutaway display of an MGA Twin Cam amongst the other rare MGs. The ‘bullnose’ sports car I photographed on the front cover, is traditionally called ‘Old Number One’, however it is not Notice the MG octagon on the side - 1925 the first ‘MG’ car. By 1924, Morris Garages had produced several cars based on the Bullnose Morris chassis, Eventually Old Number One was sold for £300 to a friend of Cecil Kimber’s . It was reputed to have only cost £279 advertised under the now famous MG initials and several more ‘MG sports Morris’ cars followed before the year end. to build. Sadly some years later it was spotted being used to haul a pig food trailer of all things and subsequently in 1932 it was discovered in a Manchester scrap yard by an employee of the MG Car Company. It was bought for £15 and taken to the Abingdon factory to be restored and used as a promotion vehicle. The Nuffield Organisation were the first to adopt the title Old Number One when they utilised the car in advertising and publicity material for the MG Car Company and the title has remained ever since. When the car was restored by the factory the colour was changed from the original grey primer to the colour it is today, cherry red. The car has always featured well in MG publicity material and has been exhibited on numerous occasions at home and also abroad, A 14/28 MG Super Sports Morris Oxford - At this time the MG on one occasion it was shipped to the USA to feature in the logo was not used on the cars, just in the sales literature 50th anniversary celebrations of MG.

It was initially painted grey and had the to drive the car to assess its merits - the car that helped MG octagon symbol painted on the side. In retrospect Cecil fuel the tremendous following that the marque now enjoys Kimber himself dubbed this one the first MG he ever built. worldwide. But still there was no M.G. Car Company. ‘Old Number One’ was registered FC 7900 and was completed in March of 1925. His passenger on that occasion was Wilfred Matthews, who was later described by Kimber as “my first passenger in my first MG”. Early MGs, including this ‘Kimber Special’, were based on standard Morris chassis with special coachwork, far more elegant than the normal range of Morris bodies. Old Number One had bodywork by Carbodies of Coventry. It used a special overhead valve version of the side-valve Hotchkiss-type engine normally found in the Bullnose Morris. The engine in the car has been dated to 1921 yet it A fortunate journalist gets to drive Old Number One was capable of reaching 80 mph.

  • NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2021 Hon
    NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2021 Hon. Secretary Brian Childs 28 Tudor Avenue A Message from our Chairman – Brian Spratt Gidea Park, Romford Essex, RM2 5LB 07770 382 371 (M) We know this year did not quite go as planned! [email protected] Sadly, every event planned for 2020 had to be cancelled, with the final hoped-for November visit to JLR Classic falling victim to Tier 2 restrictions in the West Midlands. Despite this lack of activities, and the consequent lack of revenue, I am pleased to reveal that the Fellowship has continued to support our motor industry charity BEN, with £5,000 donated in the middle of the year. As BEN’s CEO Zara Ross commented, “We are deeply moved that through this difficult time the Fellowship has continued to remember us. Our heartfelt thanks for everything you and the Fellowship do for BEN.” That's why we're so pleased to start looking forward, sharing with you our 2021 events programme. We know there is still uncertainty on the horizon and as a voluntary body without any external funding, we are acutely aware of this. But it has been the Fellowship's mission to share visits, sporting events, lunches, and other opportunities with Fellows for over 80 years, and we don't plan to stop now. The whole of your Committee value your support for the Fellowship so much, and we sincerely hope that our upcoming programme of events for 2021 will mean we can meet with you all once more. There will be old favourites, the Midlands and London lunches, along with other regulars, but there are new ventures, new locations, new experiences, but still with the constant theme of friendship and fellowship.

    HOW TO FIND VIN DECODERS Jan. 07, 2009 This document contains the file names followed by motor vehicle manufacturer’s name for a great many of the VIN decoders received by NHTSA since the VIN regulations went into effect on October, 1980. It is not intended for amateur use, and as such is not equipped with the graphical user interfaces that main stream “www” consumer Internet sites are designed with. To use it, using your computer keyboard, hold “CONTROL” and tap “F” This action will bring up a query field. Only use one or two words of a manufacturer’s name when performing this search. It is best to use the second name of Chinese manufacturers as their first name may be a Province. Using the “find next” key stroke, go all the way through the document until you find (and record) every file name associated with your manufacturer. Manually type ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail or just click on this hyperlink. Hold “control” and tap “F” to display the search screen again allowing you to enter the previously discovered “file names.” Double clicking these file names brings up images of the manufacturer’s VIN decoders.
