The Restoration Project Raffle
The GVVCVC Restoration Project is nearing completion.
This has proved to be a great project for club members with
those involved learning new skills and resulting a very
presentable vehicle. It is expected that the car will be
completed in June after almost 2 years of stripping down,
dent knocking, undercoating, finishing, painting and
finishing again.
The Triumph Dolomite will be raffled with tickets
expected to be available at our July meeting at which it is
also hoped that the vehicle will be on display. Official
launch of the raffle will be at the Scouts Rally in the first
week of August and the raffle will be drawn at the Club
Christmas dinner in December. 5000 tickets at $5.00 each
will be issued. Come to the July meeting prepared to take a
book of tickets to sell.
The car is raffled as is. There has been a full body restoration including seats and headlining, and brakes and
steering have been overhauled. The drive train (engine, gearbox, and rear axle) has not been overhauled but
is believed to be in good condition.

Commercial, Motor cycles, etc.
A number of special interest vehicles have been located, besides our Club vehicles. The coordinators would
welcome any information about vehicles Members know of or see in their local travels. We need to explore
for and include interesting non-club vehicles.
We could also make an interesting Auto-mobilia display to add interest. Restoration projects would also
create interest.

Miscellaneous Ramblings
Various items picked up by the Editor by listening out!
• The Burra to Morgan run is on 11/12 October, organised by the Clare branch of the Northern Auto
Restorers Club (NARC)
• NARC 40th anniversary is August 9, 10 2014. No more details are available
•
•
Monaro Nationals are being held in the Barossa Valley October 17-20 2014
Log Book and Historic Registration Issues from the Federation
o If you change your address, a new log book must be issued
o If you lose your log book and seek a replacement a new stat dec is required
o The club must advise Department of Transport if a member becomes un-financial (eg
through resignation or death)
o Conditional Registration becomes null on the death of the registered owner. Such vehicles
cannot be driven to the owners funeral unless on a day permit
o If there are problems obtaining parts that impact on historic registration, then special
dispensation from the Department of Transport through the Federation
o Clubs are likely to be audited on their management of the Historic Registration scheme
Long Ownership!
Did you see the story in the Advertiser on Monday June 2nd
about 100 year old Arthur Mullins in the 1908 Darracq which
his family has owned since new.
It raises the question of how many vehicles have been in
family ownership for a long period of time. These are
extremely rare in Europe where they become big news, but I
now know of 3 in SA which have been in family ownership for
over 100 years. Others are GVVCVC Member Bill Johnson’s
1909 BSA purchased new by his father, and the 1913 Newton
Bennett owned by the Warnes family in Burra since 1914
(Currently displayed in the Birdwood Museum)

Run Reports
Run organisers are requested to nominate someone on the run to provide an article for the Journal, and also someone to
report on the run to meetings (preferably a separate person for each). A report sheet is available to assist in reporting
and is on the web site at http://gawlercarclub.com/pdfs/run_report_template.pdf . Reports should include some statistics
on number of cars and people on the run plus information of a general nature. Photos of the run are earnestly sought by
the Editor and the Webmaster.
Due to the short period since the April edition was published and no input from participants there are only 2
run reports in this issue
MYSTERY RUN Wednesday May 21st
Bruce Williams
30 members attended this outing on a beaut day weatherwise . The first stop was at the home of Kym Kader
{West Coast Imports}. A large collection of mainly american cars is on display and most are for sale.
The group then drove on to Easy Orchids on Womma road. This is a wholesale orchid nursery. We had our
BYO morning tea there and our host and owner Glenn Heylen explained the processes of Orchid production
and successful production of quality Orchids.
Lunch was at Grand Central home of the Central Districts Football Club where a good meal was provided at
reasonable cost.
After lunch we proceeded to the home of Bruce and Anne Williams at Hillbank where we enjoyed a relaxed
afternoon tea and a lot of chat
We all seemed to enjoy our day out and thanks to Trevor for his efforts on this day
GORGE WILDLIFE PARK Sunday 25th May, 2014
Bob Carr
Seventeen Club Members assembled at the Tafe Car Park, on an overcast morning.
Leaving Gawler at 9.30am, we came across a few bicycle riders, participating in an organised run in and
around the Barossa. Their numbers increased rapidly until we reached the Kersbrook turn off. We continued
on to The Gorge Wildlife Park at Cuddlee Creek where we found a few members had taken a wrong turn,
luckily they found their way back to the wildlife park unharmed.
We all enjoyed the animals and birds, including nursing the koalas, patting the reptiles and viewing the
numerous other animals and birds.
All had a picnic lunch together and talk amongst ourselves with the day ending in sunshine for the drive
home.
A most enjoyable and relaxing day!

The TR7 ‘Our Little Red Rocket.’
By Trevor Bellchambers
I have always had a soft spot for the TR7s as they are unique in design
and an affordable sports car. There was a pair of them advertised in our
Club Magazine so one day when I was heading out to the beach house
at Webb Beach with Bruce Williams he suggested that we go via
Windsor and check out the TR7s.
Bruce decided that he was going to buy one and in a short time he was
enjoying his new purchase. We talked about the TR7s a few times and
Bruce suggested that I should buy the remaining car as his car was fun
to drive and performed very well.
The available TR7 was a 1980 car so I had to decide quickly to qualify for Club Registration which was soon
changing from 1982 back to 1978.
I sold off a few items from my ‘bits’ shed and raised the required funds. I paid a deposit to hold the car then
paid the remainder as soon as I could and proudly trailered the TR7 home, had it inspected and Club
registered. An ex-student called in one day before I had put the badges on the car and he was most impressed
with what he thought was my Ferrari.
With its 2 litre engine and 5 speed Rover gearbox (as factory fitted)
the TR7s are quite quick and fun to drive. You sort of fall down into
them but they are roomy inside. There is a factory conversion kit to fit
and install the 3.5 litre V8 Rover engine (as in the TR8s) and you can
create a very potent and exciting sports car. There are two TR7 V8s
that race in the Targa Series and as Starting Marshall I see them leave
the start... Wow!
On reflection, a TR8 would be fun so I might suggest Lyn could get
me one for Christmas. Ho! Ho! Ho!
The Club BBQ
The committee has been working hard on the design of the Club Barbeque. I think that this is what they have
come up with!

It’s a MG TF (or is it?)
By Alvin Jenkin
Whilst on Holiday in Tasmania Sylvia and myself parked next to this
combination in the Longford Caravan Park just south of Launceston.
Initially it looks like a slightly modified MG TF towing a teardrop
caravan. Of course this necessitated an earnest discussion with the
owner.
It turns out this is a fully electric car. The owner purchased the rolling
chassis with the current body from Perth in WA without a motor or
gearbox. The vehicle had been used in competition and had a full
fibreglass body moulded using the original panels in order to reduce
weight for competition use. This turned out to be perfect for Glenn to convert it to electric running.
He fitted a DC motor in place of the gearbox and filled the entire under bonnet space with Lithium Batteries
and the electrical control units. The AC Charger sits in the fuel tank area. The Caravan carries supplementary
batteries for longer trips but are not essential for normal use. The car has 180 Amp Hour Capacity, and the
Caravan 160 AH capacity. The motor output is 68Kw or about the equivalent of 90 BHP. A standard MG TF
weighs 960Kg and this car weighs 930Kg, and handles very well according to Glenn. It has been fitted with
an MGB front end with disc brakes.
The most expensive part of the conversion was the controller which
manages current to the motor. This is capable of handling 1000
amps and is water cooled, thus there is a small radiator behind the
grille and a 12 volt electric pump to circulate the water. The system
operates at 140volts, and a converter and has been installed to
charge a small 12 volt battery to operate lights etc.
The car has a range of up to about 150Km at 70Kph on a 9 hour
charge.
The car has participated in time trials, and is quicker over a
standing ¼ mile than a well tuned standard car.
It is the first fully electric car to have circumnavigated Australia. Its
current home base is Mackay in Qld where Glenn is a member of
two historic car clubs.
Glenn says that there is an Edward Booth in Gawler who does
similar things to cars.
For details on how to build an electric car, go to
www.evworks.com.au and to see more of Glenn’s story go to
www.CO2Race.net.au .

there are special circumstances, you may present your Log Book and appeal to the Club Historic Registrars or
Committee for their consideration.
