From the President — November 2014
By the time you receive this Vintage Metal the Collie Icebreaker
will have been run and won, as I write this on Sunday the 15th the
weather forecast was for a fine weekend. Many thanks to those
who took advantage of this great facility and especially those who
put the event together and had official duties over the two days.
On the last Workshop Saturday the body of the "Caversham" was
trasfered from the temporary chasis to that which had been
prepared. Much work now has to be done now readying the
fibreglass body for painting. This presents a great opportunity for
those members so moved to come on down and lend a hand to transform the ugly duckling
into the beautiful swan she is to be at the conclusion of the rebuild.
Planning for the Northam Flying 50 weekend is well underway. This year will see an
expanded programme and with extra entertainments for the visitors. Northam is only three
weeks after our March General Meeting! This will mean already a quarter of 2015 will have
passed, where does the time go? So time to make your plans to be in Northam either as a
competitor, official or tyre kicker, but be there!
With Monday the 2nd being the Labour Day holiday the next Monday, the 9th, is our next
General Meeting so be there to hear of and discuss Collie and the forthcoming Flying 50
weekend. If not all that interested in upcoming events be there for the great fellowship,
stories and downright lies!
Enough from me. Stay healthy, drive safely and continue to support your Club and its
members.
Ian Fry
Editor's notes
ERRATA: My typing finger slipped on page 22 of the February issue and transferred the race
start in the top photograph from Narrogin to Northam, as Ken Devine was very quick to
point out. John Napier-Winch also confirmed that the Narrogin photograph is of the 1952
event. I got the location right in the December issue, page 19. Also, there is some confusion
over who is driving the number 14 Morgan. Is it Barry Ranford or David van Dahl?
The second picture (Goomalling 1953) shows car 9, a V8 Special that John Napier-Winch has
said was shown as a Mercury Special in the programme. Formerly owned by Jack
Glendinning, it was driven at Goomalling by Norm Buckingham, the new owner. That is the
car that Jim Krajancich has advertised for sale on the inside back cover. It is 90% there, but
needs assembly and TLC to make it a runner.
There will be a list of the awards presented (and those that were not collected) on page 14 of
this issue of Vintage Metal.
There is a full page advertisement on page 11 for a hillclimb at Collingrove in South
Australia. It's a great hill and the facilities are excellent. Some South Australians trekked across
the Nullarbor for the Lake Perkolilli Centenary event (they are still getting the mud out of
their cars) so we could return the compliment.
In the ad on page 13, I know that Mt Ommanney is incorrectly spelt.

HINT FROM WALLY: Beware: When changing oil in new cars DO NOT go by old system of

Ian Fry then presented the Perpetual Trophies - list in this edition.
13. GENERAL BUSINESS:
Craig Bradtke (Chairman of CAMS WA Historic Advisory Panel) brought to members attention::
•
Historic and modern would now be run under 1 set of rules - no longer will CAMS have any historic rules - for 12 month trial period - this could affect club events.
•
Bulletin re 5th Category cars and fuels – which said can’t use Ethanol fuels and now been revoked to use pump fuels. He strongly advised members not to modify cars to run Ethanol fuels because further changes may occur.
5
•
Frontal head restraint - SFI are challenging FIA on FHR issue re safety. CAMS FIA
program suggests we have to have HANS devices by July 2015 but likely the list of devices will be
broadened.
Julian O’Hara showed members SFI tested SIMPSON devices similar to HANS and said were much
more comfortable to wear. He believed that these were FIA approved. He got his online but Dick Ward
(GO GEAR) advised that he is now stocking these and others for those who would like to try them.
Tony Brett asked question regarding “State Championship” as far as club was concerned and thought
quite confusing how winner was arrived at and the fact that CAMS did not advise winners to attend
presentations.
Paul Bartlett explained point system and said that it was an “aim” for 2015 to put on website updated
information after each State round of events. Did state it was an “aim” now with new webmaster and/
or have a link to site concerned.
14. Meeting Closed: 8.35 pm
Minute taker: Lynn Oxwell
E & OE
SOCIAL NOTES
Well the year is beginning to crank up and a number of social events have been suggested.
By the time you are reading this the Collie Icebreaker should have been run and behind us
so we turn our eyes to Northam.
We must get people to these events and do whatever we can to utilize the local businesses
where possible. You can help support the day by coming in your concessional licenced
vehicle of interest and put it on show in the designated area.
Dougie is organizing the event trophies again and is organizing some drinks and food for a
mini social after the event is completed and the track surrounds have been packed up.
Dougie is also looking at an outing into the Swan Valley in April or May where we can
again dust of the old vehicles and enjoy an outing which could be as follows:
10am - meet at Guildford Memorial Park.
10:30am -Nougat Factory Tour at Mondo’s.
11:30am - Visit the Honeypot to sample honey, have a honey ice-cream
12:30pm – Wine tasting at Sittella Winery.
1pm – Lunch at Sittella Winery and then meander home.
Later in the year I plan another excursion south of the river which may be a tour down to
the North Dandalup dam area where there are some nice barbeque and/or picnic areas.
This would be in the Spring when the bush should come alive with some blooms etc.
A Christmas in July is also on the books and with a guest speaker and this would of course
be a ladies night.
We still need ideas and are willing the take suggestions from members.

Collingrove Hillclimb Easter 1992
At Easter 1992 the editor and his wife were holidaying in South Australia. Entirely by
coincidence, there was historic racing at Mallala and a hisoric hillclimb at Collingrove that
Easter. I had my camera with me and made sure that I took lots of photographs (real ones
in those pre-digital days).
The advertisement opposite for this year's Vintage Collingrove Hillclimb provided a great
opportunity to fire up the scanner and pop some of those 23-year-old photographs in to
Vintage Metal. I've left some background in some of the shots to give some idea of the
beautiful setting of Collingrove.
Some VSCC of WA members have been to
Collingrove (apart from the editor) and one
historic competitor from this side is reported to
have said that in his view the Collingrove
Hillclimb track in the Barossa is the best
hillclimb track in the world!
I am waiting for some identification of the
drivers - I can remember the cars, but I'll do

VSCC Member Stars in Bathurst 12 Hour
VSCC of WA member Steve Wyatt was part of
the driving team with Michael Rugolo and
Davide Rigon in the AF Corse Ferrari at the
Bathurst 12 Hour Race on February 8.
After qualifying fourth, Steve took the start and
had the car in first place at each of his three pit
stops before handing over to Michael at the
third stop.
Ed Farrar managed to get to the 12 Hour and
reported that the pits were very busy early in the
morning, especially the Nissan pits, where their
Godzilla GTR needed an engine rebuild between qualifying and the race.
The race started in pitch darkness at 5.50 a.m. with a warm-up lap behind the safety car
before a rolling start. The start was clean with
none of the customary V8 Supercar first lap
carnage.
A full coverage of the race can be found on the
web at bathurst12hour.com.au or at motorsport.
com, where I found the excellent photograph
above. As I took the picture without asking,
perhaps I should mention that motorsport.com
has an excellent coverage of motor sport
world-wide, including major historic events.
At the halfway mark the Ferrari was in fourth
place and looking very competitive. There were
many safety car periods. Unfortunately the
Steve in the pits before the start with the 12th safety car was for the AF Corse Ferrari. It
Ferrari behind (Ed Farrar phone pic)
was struck from behind by the Dean Canto
driven #36 Erebus Motorsport Mercedes to spin off the track, through a sign and into the
wall near pit exit. Getting the car back to the pits and back into running order lost 12 laps,
so the team withdrew the Ferrari from the race.
Over the past three Bathurst 12 Hour races, the
Ferrari has failed to finish in 2013, finished 7th
in 2014 and scored another DNF this year.
Successes for AF Corse have included the
Asian Ferrari 458 Challenge in 2014 and class
successes at Le Mans from 2011 to 2014.
The race went on after the AF Corse car retired
with the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 of Chiyosan, Wolfgang Riep and Florian Strauss
One of the Bentleys in the pits before
snatching a last minute win (yes, that's the one
the start (Ed Farrar phone pic)
that had the last-minute engine rebuild).
David Brabham was injured when he crashed in one of the Bentleys, but another Bentley
led almost to the end before being swamped by the Nissan, an Audi and an Aston Martin.
seven marques finished in the first seven places, with Nissan leading home Audi, Aston
Martin, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari and Lamborghini in that order.

Early 1950s TQ
Ron Fabry's search for 1950s front-engined racing and sports cars has turned up yet
another rear-engined special.
The brief story of the car was supplied by Peter Theyer, who ran it at the Albany Classic for
a few years and is rebuilding it for future competition.
Here is Peter's story of the TQ:
The car was built and owned by George White, who was a local jeweller here in Albany,
with assistance from Jim Liversey, and in later
years my father William (Bill) Theyer, who was
one of the top drivers/constructors during the
period.
The car was constructed in the early 1950's
using parts from various vehicles, motorbikes,
and scooters, as were most of the TQ's of the
period. It featured a nosecone and steering
wheel from an early aeroplane, hubs and
wheels from a lambretta scooter, various brake
and driveline parts from a Fiat 500, and the
engine/gearbox was a Triumph 500 Trophy Special, with custom camshafts.
The cars predominately ran on road circuits, throughout the Great Southern, with events
held in Albany, Mt Barker, Katanning and Narrogin to mention a few. They were also run
on the dirt speedways of the time, and also at the Centennial Oval track in Albany, which
was around the Royals Football Club oval. This car was driven in a shared basis by George
White and Jim Liversey during its racing history, and in later years my father ran the car in
the Albany Classic in 1994 (I think).
After rebuilding the engine, my father sadly passed away, and never raced the revamped
car. I ran the car at the Albany Classic for a few years, and have since shelved it, to begin a
rebuild.

Wylie Javelin special supercharged grand prix car
The famous Wylie Javelin special is offered for sale for the first time
in nearly twenty years. Designed & constructed by Arthur Wylie in
1949-50, this important piece of Australian motor racing history
first appeared at the 1951 Melbourne International Motor Show in
the Royal Exhibition Building to huge acclaim. It competed in the
1953 Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park (9th place outright) and
was raced extensively in Australia until 2002. It set a new lap record
at Warwick Farm (1969), held outright & class records at several hill
climb circuits (Rob Roy, Silverdale), and has taken FTD at the
Geelong Speed Trials. Purchased by the current owners in 1997, it is now restored to what is believed
to be as close as possible to 1953 AGP specification. The car’s detailed competition history has been
researched, and it comes with a current CAMS Certificate of Description (Group Lb) and Log Books,
spare wheels, an alternative SU carburettor and Scintilla magneto set up to suit methanol, plus Wylie’s
original car transporter (matching colour scheme).
