Your Committee
Hello there!
First off, I owe an apology to Cindy
and Paul Carlton. In the National
2004 issue I jokingly referred to
CIndy’s Series II, 899 KYD, as “Bill
Barwell’s car”, when in fact she
bought it three years ago and is the
third owner since Bill. In that time
they have spent much money and
time on the car which of course won
its class last year. They both feel they
deserve more recognition for they work they have done on the car, and were
understandably disappointed when I, along with many other people, persisted
in calling it “Bill’s car”.
The feature written by Jonathan Williams in the last Horn caught the eye of
the chaps at Practical Classics, so keep an eye out for him in a future edition.
Remember, you read it here first!
This issue has been quite hard to compile due to the lack of contributions from
you, the members. Remember this is your magazine, so if there’s something
you’d like to see in the Horn then write in. I personally would like to see more
technical content; it’s always nice to have something to refer to when you’re
tackling a job on the car for the first time.
When does a spark plug cost £75? Nina was going to take Sid to work the other
day because we’d run out of proper cars again, but when I started the engine
it was only running on three cylinders. I only had time for a quick fiddle about,
which didn’t fix it, so I ended up having to give her a lift in the van I’d borrowed
to move some furniture. This made me late for my band practice and when I got
there I forgot the passenger door was unlocked. When I got back to the van,
someone had helped themselves to the stereo, for which I now owe my mate
£75. I gave Sid’s engine the onceover a few days later and found the problem
was a duff spark plug, which I replaced with a spare. He’s now running sweetly.
Hindsight’s a wonderful thing.
The next issue deadline is May 20th, please write in with your technical tips,
restoration stories, whatever. If not it’ll be kitten pics again.

Cover Stars!
Looking back through piles of old magazines unearthed a few high profile covers
showing off our favourite car. Here are some samples.
This cover scan from the 60’s was kindly sent to me along with the “Motor” cover.
From the looks of things, he’s trying out a new immobiliser in the form of a chain
that you can wrap round a lamp post. Are those twin tailpipes an aftermarket
mod? If you do know, please don’t write in...
An excellent article with lots of history and advice for first time Alpine buyers.
Even Harringtons and the Horn (it was “good” back then...) get a mention. On the
minus side, they claim that James Bond drove a black Series III in “From Russia
with Love”, when it was a blue Series 2 in “Dr. No”. Shocking.

A good feature with both cars side by side. Comparisons are drawn with contemporary rivals of the time (MG for the Alpine, AC Cobra for the Tiger) rather
than with each other. A fair amount of background history to the two models.

Fascinating article on the Harrington and the Triumph TR4 Dove conversion
(also done by Harrington). Opinions may differ on which car looks the best; I
prefer the Harrington, but the writer disagrees.

Another scan of a magazine cover from the 60’s. This road test was referred to
in the Classic Cars feature. The people at Motor seemed to like the Tiger, from
what I could make out. If anyone’s got this road test lying about, I’d be interested
in reading it.

SUBJECT: MUD AND WATER ENTRY INTO FRONT HUB
BEARINGS
TO ALL ROOTES GROUP DEALERS
This may be caused by a defective hub oil seal or by a damaged `O’ ring
seal (Part No. 9107088) on the conical seat of wire wheel type hubs.
HUB OIL SEAL
From Chassis No. B9006126 onwards a double lip oil seal has been
fitted. The Part No. of the seal is 1206002 and it must be very carefully
pressed into position as shown in the adjoining illustration. Before
replacing the front hub ensure the distance piece on which the seal rotates
is free from burrs. An end float of .000”/.004” (0/.11mm) must exist after
replacing the front hub.
‘O’ RING
Care must be taken to ensure that when removing or fitting wire type
road wheels that the `O’ ring is not damaged. The slightest damage to the
‘O’ ring requires it to be renewed.
Kindly bring the above to the attention of all concerned.

Registrar’s Report.
A cute little girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweetest little lisp; “Excuthe
me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbiths?” As the shopkeepers heart melts, he
gets down on his knees, so that he is on her level, and asks; “Do you want a
widdle white wabbit or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabbit or maybe one like that
cute widdle bwown wabbit over there ? “ She, in turn blushes, rocks on her heels,
puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet voice.“Actheley,
I don’t fink my pet pyfon weally givth a toth”.
“OLD” IS WHEN.....
The database continues to grow and there are now 1300
Alpines known to be in use. It’s taken six years of record
keeping to obtain this figure.
A recent registration from Napoli in Italy is a CKD Model
Chassis number 9250151 in Silver built by Carrozzeria
Touring for Rootes. I’m not sure if all the details are
correct so how about an all expenses paid trip to Napoli
to check!!

I would just like to remind members, especially the new
members, to please register your Alpine with the club.
If you have not done so in the last six years then your
Alpine is registered as ‘Status Unknown’. The usual
register form that used to be in the October Horn has
been replaced by the Standing Order Form to pay subscriptions. So either ring
me and I will forward a paper copy or if you have Internet access then use the
club’s web site.

Valve Repair
A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of a Triumph Herald
when he spotted a well – known heart surgeon in the garage workshop. The
surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at
his classic 4 litre Sunbeam Talbot when the mechanic shouted across the garage,
“Hey Doc, can I ask you a question?” The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over
to where the mechanic was working on the Triumph. The mechanic straightened
up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, “So, Doc, look at this engine. I open it’s
heart, take the valves out, repair ‘em, put ‘em back in and when I finish it works
just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get mega bucks,
when you and I are doing basically the same work?”
The surgeon paused, smiled, leaned over and whispered to the mechanic “Try
doing it with the engine running”.
Webmaster’s Report.
This continues to grow in size and requires updating nearly every day. The
Alpines for sale page is particularly busy this time of year.
It has been suggested that we include a Forum connection from the site for use,
just for the club members, as well as the connection to the American SAOC. I
would welcome your comments on this suggestion bearing in mind I would have
to monitor the pages to cater for the idiots.
I have, just to liven up the site, added some Macromedia Flash content to the
opening page, the Regalia and Spares pages. They do carry the advert for the
owners of the Flash but it was free. (Until they catch up with me!)
Included now are the details of the 2005 National with access to the Booking
Form, Concours Entry Form and Concours Rules with added links for Hotels and
Bed and Breakfast.

Spares Report 157.
I do not intend to rite an update in every magazine but because of the replies
that I have received from members regarding my requests for information and/or
queries I thought that I should make the effort.
Series II bonnet badges and IV, V grille badges have been purchased and these
are original not remanufactured, although the grille badges are made from the
bonnet badges by simply reducing the size and shape accordingly. This also
threw up a significant quantity of other new spares and good quality second
hand items on which I have first refusal and intend to discuss at committee level.
With time things are always changing and there seem to be one or two members
who due to retirement are downgrading their stock and indeed their number of
cars. This seems to me to be a good way forward for the purchase of cheap
spares and I fully intend to pursue this route.
Please don’t all rush, I do have a limited budget and will be choosy. Also I have
no intention whatsoever of spending it to the degree whereby the annual spares
day would be threatened.
Fog and Spot light brackets are well on the way (four pairs) and at present I am
waiting to try some period lamps on a pair that I have just fitted to my Series III,
just to make sure there are no problems with fitment. I have tried all the brackets
on my bar and also on a Series V. Incidentally, the difference between the back
edge of the bumper bar and the valance on my car is a lot less than on the Series
V that I tried. I suspected that there might be variations at this point and therefore
have made provision for adjustment wherever possible. They also come with a
fitting kit. Brackets will be going for chrome plating next week.
Someone has kindly offered to loan me a boot rack, but also I have received a
reply from an Australian member who has one for sale. I am currently looking
into the latter option because even with the purchase and shipment it is still cost
effective when compared with making one for a pattern. Also this would remain in
the Club as a pattern and when no longer required would be polished, rechromed
and sold on.
I have made a jig for the fog and spotlight brackets that will eventually become
Club property.
Regards, Pete.

Many of you might have been lightly bemused by the inclusion of the kitten
pictures in the last edition of the Horn, perhaps I can provide an explanation.
John had been chasing me for some time to provide Chairmans Chat material for
edition 156 and, to put it short, I let him down. I’m not making excuses but there
were lots of things going on at the time and I just lost track of time until it was too
late. So sorry for this and I will try harder to meet future copy dates.
Not that I had much in the way of material to discuss anyway. January was dull,
dreary and lacking in Alpine related activity. Since then we have had all that
snow in Kent and so, although the days are getting longer, the weather is turning
much more favourable and my thoughts are turning towards prising the Series
IV out of its winter hideaway, there is still too much salt around on the roads to
temp me drive in anything but perfectly dry conditions. So I fear that the car will
largely stay in hibernation till the April showers wash the nasty white stuff away
from the tarmac.
Thumbing through the last edition of the Horn, it was nice to see such variety
in the style of articles that have been included. It’s interesting to note that
Concours is a passion which still seems to strike deep into the heart of many
of our members. I am not really the competitive type, and so prefer prepare my
Alpine for the job it was designed to do – travelling from A to B, preferably along
interesting and uncrowded roads such as those that you find over the water.
insert alpine westmidlands advert
Returning to the last Horn, although John is complaining that he has little copy
to choose from, there was still enough material to suit different tastes, and it was
well put together by our very capable Editor. We should all make more effort to
support him. It was nice to see the update on this years National, the advert,
venue and location have really whetted our appetite for this event and Sue and
I will be making a mini-holiday out of this event – we are planning to get there a
week early so that we can do a bit of sightseeing/relaxing before the main action
starts. No doubt many other members will take the opportunity to do similar. I still
haven’t solved the problem of how to get the Alpine to the event yet as we will be
bringing our caravan and I do not fancy the challenge of towing it with the Alpine
the 400 or so miles to the end of Cornwall, The car is in standard tune and not
really powerful (or stable) enough to tow a heavy 14ft caravan this distance, and I
will be a nervous wreck by the end of the journey if I were to attempt it. So maybe
this year I will just have to accept defeat and not bring the Alpine, or perhaps I
will be lucky enough to find someone else who I can trust to drive it there for me.

There can be few more agreeable
places to spend an hour or two on a
blustery winter’s evening than a real
ale pub. Keith Roberts was presiding
at ‘The Gribble’ at Oving West Sussex
for the Alpine meet on the first Monday
of the month. He had brought along
two new potential members who were
restoring a Series IV car and who
wanted detailed information on Hood
and tonneau fit.
The open log fire and the excellent
food only enhanced the occasion and
made the seventy mile round trip well
worth while. These monthly meetings
are an excellent source of information
and keep the enthusiasm flowing
until the cars and owners leave their
draughty garages to meet the long
summer months.
This brings me to remind you all that
we shall be meeting from 12 noon
on the first Sunday of each month,
April to September at the White Hart,
Cadnam. For directions, turn off at
Junction 1 of the A27, bear left toward
Cadnam, pass the turning for the Sir
John Barleycorn and take the first left
at the next roundabout. The White
Hart is immediately on your left. Lynda

those who came last summer.

good number turning up at the Barge, Battlesbridge, which usually happens from
April/May means that it will be worthwhile organising something. Last year we
had a 70 mile drive through Essex countryside (yes we have got some and there
is even a magazine of the same name) with a couple of pub stops on route. Simon
has suggested a drive out and barbecue for this year’s event, and we need to sort
out a date.
As to shows, there is the Battlesbridge show on 15th May, but this clashes with
spares day, and Enfield Pageant of Motoring on the May Bank holiday weekend
28 to 30th. Please note that the May meeting will be on the 9th as we don’t tend
to meet up on Bank Holidays.
Happy Alpining, and let’s hope we have a good spring/summer.

After talking about things to do before
Christmas, such as beer and curry
evenings (is there anything else?) and
what to do for this year’s Essex drive

March meeting due to a cold. All quite
pathetic really and the balance needs
to redressed.

There are still a few things to do on my

interested in all things Alpine again.
So what can we look forward to? This

has gone into reproducing these superb units to the exacting specifications of the

John,
Given that you saw fit to include photos of kittens – or was it road kill? – in the
last Horn, I thought you might find it appropriate to have the following in the next
edition!
Mid Life Crisis? I’ve got it off to a ‘T’!
It is one of life’s clichés that men fight the onset of middle age, and it can
have extreme effects. On the one hand it can lead to a fellow leaving home
in the afternoon to collect both his pension and his children from school and
on the other hand, he can discover the hard way that a pearlescent helmet
cannot entirely compensate for inexperience, a damp road, and 150HP being
transmitted through one tyre.
Many of us just want a new toy – maybe the car we remember exciting us when
we were schoolboys. My trouble was that I already had one of those – the Alpine
I bought 32 years ago when I finished university. I always tell people that is not
a ‘mid-life crisis’ car, it is a ‘never grew up’ car.
It’s true that over the years I have seen and vaguely wanted other cars – an E
Type, Rover P5B Coupe, Jowett Javelin – but could never answer the question
‘what would I do with it I can’t do with the Alpine?’ (150mph or carry 5 people
never seemed adequate answers). After all the Alpine SV is still an excellent
drive – practical for a weekend in Scotland and more than fast enough for roads
clogged with MPVs – every one dreadful.
So what? you may think. Is Barker just rambling like Barwell or does he have a
point to make?
Well, about 5 years ago, I took part in one of Mr Haynes runs – one of those
events where you pay him money to drive on public roads in a queue of his
making. They begin in a car park with a bacon butty; you drive to a coffee stop,
then to a lunch stop and you end up somewhere with scenery for afternoon tea.
In this case we ended up at Beaulieu only to encounter a meeting of a one-make
car club. The people seemed friendly (if rather elderly), but it was the vehicles
which caught my fancy. All the same, but very different. Fascinating simple
mechanics. Nothing I couldn’t take apart in an afternoon. What were they? Ford
Model Ts!
A seed was sown.
I did some research and discovered that the UK epicentre of the T world is Neil
Tuckett, who operates from a farm in Buckinghamshire. (It was his Golden Ford
on TV). A year later, I happened to be passing and stopped to look. There were
No.157
-38-
April 2005
about 20 vehicles for sale – cars, vans, trucks, speedsters, a bus, wrecks (lots of
those) but we had no time to ponder.
I did occasionally look at Neil’s website. I had decided that if I were to have a
T, I wanted a closed version - I can do cold and draughty in the Alpine. Trouble
was that all Ts are tall, and closed ones stay that way. I have a double garage
with an up-and-over door and 78” is all it will take. Then in late 2002 I saw a ‘26
Coupe. This was the last year of production when the T was obsolete, but they
tried to keep it going by lowering it - 2” off the body and 2” off the suspension
height; could this be enough?
I persuaded Dave Holcombe to spend a day going to Bucks. We went and we
measured; 74”! I bought a book and we went to the pub for lunch. The book
told me enough to conclude that the car had all the right bits. We both agreed
it had the nicest body style and when we returned, Neil had got it going. I was
given a driving lesson. More on this later.
I came home. Did I want a Model T? Was this the right car? Would Val agree?
By Monday, the answers were all ‘yes’. I have to point out that the first question
was the hardest, and the last the easiest.
I wanted to drive it home, but it was 76 years old, I had hardly driven a T, and
there are probably not enough daylight hours in November to cover 120 miles so
a trailer was borrowed.
Now, driving a Model T is very simple – as long as you have never driven an
ordinary car. It has a 2.9 litre 4 cylinder side-valve engine which produces 20
HP at 1600 rpm. It has two gears and three pedals. So far, so good. However,
the right pedal is the brake, the center does reverse and the left pedal goes down
for low gear and up for top, with neutral halfway. The accelerator? This is a lever
on the steering column, opposite the ignition advance. The car will do 15mph
in low, and 42mph in top. Cruise is 37 mph. If you can’t get up a hill in top at
about 20mph, it’s 12mph in low. So much for going. For stopping, you rely on
one contracting band inside the transmission linked to the pedal and handbrake
operated rear drums. The wheels have wooden spokes. There are just 2 springs,
and no shock absorbers. Ford devised his own solutions – some were excellent;
others were technological dead ends. But it works. The first 100 miles are fairly
stressful, but now it’s second nature – usually.
The car had been imported from California in about 1990. The previous owner
had made an excellent job of the steel body (very modern – wind-up windows),
but he had no wish to drive it, and his mechanical restoration was mostly a coat
of shiny black paint. So in two and a half years I have rebuilt all the mechanical
parts – but still managed to drive it more than 3000 miles. The longest in a day
was 146 miles. This is enough.

I have spent most of the same period trying to sell helicopters to George W Bush
(with surprising success it seems), and have used some of my 25 visits to the
USA to get bits – they are available here, but cost less over there. Everything
is readily available. One Monday, I needed a new rear axle bearing. I rang a
company in Massachusets and the parts arrived Wednesday! A starter ring costs
$39, track rod ends are $20 a pair.
Having a Model T also gives you entry to real history. It really did put America on
wheels and you could, if very sad, spend a month reading T stuff on the internet.
In 1921 half the world’s cars were Ts. Mine was built on November 11th 1926,
along with 5900 others. Production stopped at 15 million in May ‘27. Under its
‘modern’ skin, it is mechanically almost same as the 1909 car except for the
dynamo and starter.
Alpine owners will be used to attention from all sorts of people (‘I had one of those
once…’) but the Model T is in a different league. Youths break off from their
studies of the Astra’s flammability to shout ‘Great car mister’. It also appeals to
women – alas mostly the old ones. And when you go to Tesco, it’s easy to find
in the car park, sticking up above Espaces etc and surrounded by people.
And finally – I do, of course, still have the Alpine.
Chris Barker (179)
P.S.
Let me give you a glimpse of life in Yeovil. Picture this. We have a B & Q. It has
a car park, but the access road cuts across in front of the store. A car comes
along, but stops to give way to a family crossing in line from the store laden with
packs of kitchen units. Nothing out of the ordinary, except that the car was my
Model T, and the family were circus-sized dwarves. I don’t know what onlookers
must have thought.
