May/June 2018 A BIMONTHLY PUBLICATION OF THE VANCOUVER COAST BRANCH OF THE OLD ENGLISH CAR CLUB OF BRITISH COLUMBIA MayMay----JuneJune 2018 Volume 23, Number 3 oecc.ca/vcb John Chapman, author of the captivating series “What Was I Thinking” about the restoration of his Sunbeam Imp, appears to be thinking “What was the owner thinking” as he looks at the weathered Bristol at our May event. Chairman’s Welcome Walter Reynolds, VCB Chairman Hello Everyone. Since joining the Little British Car hobby I’ve twice experi- enced figurative clips up the side of the head. The first was I had no interest in the style of the Rover 3 Litre: 7 years ago we bought one (and still own it). The second incident related to the 1960s Jaguar S Type. Up until recently I had thought the style of the car to be something less than pretty. As you will read later in this Roundabout, I’ve not only written an article about the 1960s S Type but have also included in this issue’s “Cars of Branch Members and Their Stories” the story of Harv and Shirley McCullough’s 1966 S Type. So, as you can figure, I’ve changed my position on the 1960s S Type. Looking back on my life there have been several other times when I have said I’m not going to do something and then circumstances have changed and I’ve done exactly what I said I wouldn’t do. What I’m getting at here is that there are many things that we decide we won’t do and then we do them. Take for instance volunteering; specifically volunteering for a position on the Vancouver Coast Branch Executive, or a position on the Old English Car Club’s Executive. Although the Branch Annual General Meeting and elections are several months away, it’s not too soon to con- sider actually doing something that you may have told yourself that you won’t do. I.E. like being on the Executive. Stand up and be counted and make your mark on the Branch’s going-forward history. Who knows, you might en- AT THE WHEEL joy it.

MAY-JUNE 2018 THE ROUNDABOUT PAGE 2 2018 Vancouver Coast Branch Calendar of Events Lorna Hoare, Event & Meeting Coordinator MAY-JUNE 2018 THE ROUNDABOUT PAGE 3 The Old Editor’s Rambles Steve Hutchens, Editor EASIER R EADING John Peirson suggested that using a single column format makes newsletters easier to read online. As an editor himself (of a Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club newsletter), he wisely pointed the different setups that are appropriate for newsletters read predominantly online versus predominantly in print. Multiple columns make reading print newsletters easier but they make navigating online newsletters difficult. Two or three columns require constant juggling, down then up, down then up. It made sense to me, so this issue is a move in that direction (save for a few articles set up earlier). I invite all readers to feel free to provide feedback like this on how the Roundabout can be better designed for your reading enjoyment. TRAVELS WITH THE E DITOR As I write this Celia and I are about half way through a three month RV adventure around the Pacific North- west and are enjoying a pleasant day in Prince Albert National Park in northern Saskatchewan. Sunday afternoon we were relaxing in beautiful Victoria Park in Saskatoon when the owners of a VW camper van saw our Sprinter and the Washington license plate and struck up a conversation to see what they could learn about a road trip they are planning down the west coast of Washington, Oregon and California this sum- mer. The information sharing was mutual when I asked them about Prince Albert National Park that they had visited the previous weekend. Thanks to their glowing reports we are enjoying two days in the park! But a “car story” comes from the pervious weekend in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, where we spent Friday night in the pleasant city park campground. This was our second night in Weyburn’s park, having camped there in 2007 after doing a setup run for BRBC 2008. Saturday morning we went to the Soo Line Historical Museum just a few blocks from the park and found it even more interesting than the review thanks to the knowledgeable young docent. On the way to the museum we noticed a banner advertising the Wey- burn Car Club’s 17th Annual “Weyburn Show ‘n Shine” so we headed in that direction. There must have been at least 200 cars, with a strong rep- resentation of American and Canadian models from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. As we walked the five block show we found imports scarce: three Fer- raris, two Lamborghinis, two VWs, one Porsche, and a recent Aston Mar- tin, the only British car spotted. As we were about to the end of the show we turned up a side street and finally found the truly British contingent: a Triumph Spitfire, Riley 1.5, MGA, and Mini. The owners, however, were sitting proudly behind their cars and we enjoyed several minutes of chatting. The 1959 Riley 1.5 was a remarkable survivor. The 1960 MGA had an interesting history, having been the test car for Moss Motors when they were developing a supercharger for the MGA. Ken Exner (Riley) and Glen Perchie (MGA) shared lots of British car adventure stories with us and we felt right at home! MAY-JUNE 2018 THE ROUNDABOUT PAGE 4 Tuesday, May 1, a large turnout to see a fascinating collection of Citroens … and a few British cars as well May VCB Event - Citroen City by Lorna Hoare C Lovers Fish ‘n Chips was the gathering place for 11 club members who gathered for a bite prior to our May event. Several enjoyed the “all you can eat” fish and chips special and it was likely that only the pending meeting limited them to only seconds! Our May event was nearby at Alistair Black Specialty Service in Cloverdale. A turnout of 19 members joined the dinner group for a total of 30 present. Owner Lionel Hondier met us as we arrived at 7:00. Lionel had an interesting array of cars outside of the workshop, including two Citroen 2CVs, a Citroen seven passenger station wagon undergoing restoration, and a Citroen panel van as well as Lionel's own beautifully re- stored 2CV. British cars, however, were the focus of our visit and a "Big Boot" 1947 Bentley was up on the hoist so we could see the work being done. It has been under restoration for many years. The paint was beautiful and the chrome glistened. An old Bentley parts car was parked outside to serve as a donor for the ‘47. Inside we found four British cars in process of restoration. There was an almost finished Triumph TR3 in a light green colour, almost ready to go home to the proud owner. A royal blue MGB-GT was awaiting an engine and interior. And there was a Bristol, a survivor if there ever was one, with a big Chrysler Hemi.

    OCTOBER 16-18, 2020 OFFICIAL RACE CARD FOREWARD BY THE DUKE OF RICHMOND WELCOME TO SPEEDWEEK FOREWARD BY Welcome everyone to Goodwood SpeedWeek THE DUKE OF presented by Mastercard. Now, at last, we RICHMOND can fire up those engines and go racing, and so bring our motorsport season spectacularly back to life. Of course, I am very sad and disappointed that you cannot be at the circuit with us but, let me assure you, it’s going to be an utterly unique and memorable event and you won’t miss a minute of the action on all three days. Ironically, because we have to stage the event behind closed doors, we are able to create a spectacle that we would normally never dream of doing. As a live and interactive TV show, SpeedWeek will be brought to you in a way that has never been seen before in motorsport broadcasting. The live stream, and the ITV coverage, will be free to air and will take you right into the heart of the event with all the race action, interviews with the drivers and coverage of the new rally stages, the Shootout for the fastest lap of the circuit, and a sensational celebration of 70 years of Formula 1. SpeedWeek combines many of the best elements of the Members’ Meeting, the Festival of Speed and the Revival, plus some new and exciting content that will see the cars using parts of the circuit that are way beyond the track limits. The Shootout for fastest lap will see modern machinery on the circuit, something we’ve never been able to do before.
