A Message from your National President We are now well into 2016 and if you are not a farmer it’s been a fantastic summer. It has been a long time since the country has been so dry on such a scale but it does look like the weather is starting to change and winter is just around the corner. Planning for the AGM and Rally in Martinborough is well advanced. Peppers Parehua is a great venue, located in the Wine Village of Martinborough, surrounded by a Vineyard and adjacent to the Nga Waka Winery. The Rally Committee has been very busy organising everything that is required to make this event a great weekend. I look forward to catching up with old friends, making new friends and having fun. I was able to attend the Wellington British Car Day held in February at Trentham Memorial Park. The weather was good and there was a very good turnout of some 400 British built cars on display. A good number of Daimlers and Jaguars as well as all the regular makes and models such as MG, Triumph, Morris, Bradford, Bentley’s and Rolls Royce’s to name a few. Mike King had his Daimler SP250 rolling chassis on display; that attracted a lot of interest. The event is held for the enjoyment of the participants and visitors but also to raise funds for the Wellington Free Ambulance – a great cause and a great day out. Once again Mike King provided the sound system for the event as he has done so over many years – great job Michael. I attended a “Garage Raid” in February, organised by the Wairarapa Branch of the Vintage Car Club. This was great fun although probably more of a “bloke thing” and not quite so interesting for the ladies. An assortment of 30 or so classic cars of various makes and models set off from the Clareville Show Grounds in Carterton. First stop in Greytown to look at a collection of old Austin’s some beautifully restored and others a “work in progress”. The next stop was to a site in Featherston, a large shed full of Vauxhall’s and some restoration projects. Then a twenty minute drive to Martinborugh for a picnic lunch and a look at my Daimler car collection. After lunch another shed and yard with a collection of restored Tractors, an assortment John Clark’s Conquest & Dave Patten’s Drop Head on the of Motor Bikes, Model T Ford, 1930 VCC Garage Raid Hudson, Morris 8’s and other collectables. To finish the day we visited a shed with twelve beautifully restored 1930’s MG cars. A really great day and it never ceases to amaze me what blokes have in their sheds. Take care and make the most of every day as there is a lot of fun out there to enjoy. Dave Patten 2 IN NEW ZEALAND INC Getting up to Speed ... A Word from your National Secretary Welcome to this month’s new members. • Gary Bax & Murray Atkinson of Auckland, they have the Daimler V8 which was previously owned by the late Athol Hawkey. Athol was a long serving member and Club Patron. • Neil and Rosemary Mackintosh of Wellington have 2 Daimler V8’s in varying states of road-worthiness! • Simon Cheung is a new Auckland member. His recently acquired Conquest used to be owned by a past Manawatu President, the late Eric Yarrell. We are sorry to farewell Colin & Maureen King from Waikato. They have been members for many years and served at both Branch and National level. We wish them well and trust they have many happy days in their motor-home. There are still a large number of unpaid overdue subscriptions to date. PLEASE settle your account with Treasurer Peter Mackie, if unsure as to your current status, contact Peter or myself. The Martinborough Mini Rally is almost upon us, it is looking to be a good muster of the troops and promises to be a memorable occasion. I look forward to seeing you there. Ensure that you have an FM radio in your car as we intend to stream a live commentary on the Saturday and Sunday runs. If you don’t have a radio let me know and I will sort out a portable for you to use. We have a couple of interesting articles this month. Paul Edginton has been “meddling” with his Daimler V8, modifying a Weber carburettor in place of the normal SU’s. Also the most interesting history (or lack of) on Simon Ganley’s E20. Most Branches will have had their respective AGM’s by now. The magazine directory will be updated in the next magazine. Please give a thought for your Branch committees, they do work hard to organise events for ALL members, let them know your preference for types of outings, even if it’s only for a catch up over a coffee. I look forward to meeting fellow members at Martinborough. Mike King HAVE YOU PAID YOUR SUBS????? April–May 2016 3 Round the Bazaars ... Daimlers on the Run Auckland Amblings Ellerslie Concours 2016 The Club display theme this year was “Love Story” – the love of an owner lavished on their car or cars. I like my cars, enjoy driving them and spend a lot of time and money on them but in no way do I love them. The emotional side is really the interaction of people with my cars and the buzz it gives me. This concept was a bit foreign to me and my team mates, particularly on how translate this concept into a display. After some discussion, Richard came up with the suggestion that since his daughter Holly was getting engaged and a marquee was being decorated, this could be the basis of a display. We decided that the theme should be a wedding and as a further nod towards love of cars we would dress up Daimlers as a wedding party complete with ribbons, pink and white tulle streamers and silk flower petals to simulate a removable confetti. To give identity to each car, the bride was veiled in white tulle and flowers, the bridesmaids carried posies and the grooms were wearing black velvet bow ties. The wedding party was enshrined in an arch of pink and white tulle with the flower decorated marquee in the rear serving as a reception area. John’s car played the part of the going away vehicle, appropriately sporting a “JUST MARRIED” sign and trailing tin cans. As a further touch a pair gold painted hose clips simulated the wedding rings, were displayed on a pink cushion. Holly and Chris handed out sweets and cake to the public and the judges; being Saint Valentines Day, the heart-shaped sweets went down a treat with the ladies. Richard installed a photo booth (covered in hearts) and the images will be loaded onto the Daimler website. We came 4th out of 19 contestants, we all thought that we should have been better placed. The best outcome of the day was the teamwork displayed by all that participated in the display and the three new prospective members who took away forms. I would like thank all who took part, particularly Richard and Martin for their input for this event.

  • 1992 Daimler DS420 Limousine the Last DS420 and the Last Car with an XK Engine
    1992 Daimler DS420 Limousine The last DS420 and the last car with an XK engine The long line of Daimler limousines finally came to an end in 1992 with this car, the last example of the DS420 range. It was also the last car to use the 44-year old Jaguar XK engine design When Jaguar merged with the British Motor Corporation in 1966, both companies manufactured limousine models, the ageing Daimler Majestic Major and Vanden Plas Princess 4 litre. It was decided to replace both of these older models with a single new limousine, which would bear the Daimler name and would be based on Jaguar components, but which would be assembled in the Vanden Plas factory at Kingsbury in London. The result was the DS420 which was launched in 1968 and co-incidentally became the first new model of the newly-merged British Leyland company. It was based on an extended floorpan from the Jaguar 420G, which made the DS420 the biggest ever British car with unitary body construction. The engine was the well-known Jaguar XK in 4.2 litre form, with an automatic gearbox as standard. The semi- razor edge style of the body was probably inspired by some of the classic Hooper bodies on Daimler chassis The basic bodyshell was supplied by Motor Panels in Coventry and mechanical components were fitted by Jaguar at Browns Lane, before the limousines were sent to Vanden Plas for final assembly and trim. When the Vanden Plas factory closed in 1979, final assembly and trim moved back to a special Limousine Shop in the Jaguar factory at Browns Lane The DS420 enjoyed a near monopoly of its market, and many were also supplied in chassis form for hearse bodywork.

This is mostly good news, but in one way somewhat not-so-good news. I work mostly from home at the moment, but on occasion need to go to the office. My commute has been about 30 minutes each way since last April when COVID began to unsettle our lives. I don’t know to what extent working away from the office will continue for businesses in the future, but I will miss the 30-minute commutes if we return to pre-COVID levels of traffic.
