From the Chairman’s desk
September 2012
I can’t believe I am starting my sixth year as your chairman but that is what it is so I had better
get on with it then! Our AGM passed off successfully and I am delighted to welcome two new
committee members, Alan Hogg and Pierre Rousseau. Alan’s story appears elsewhere in this
edition and we will run Pierre’s next time. We are very pleased to have their services as we
know them both to be people who can get things done and that is the most important thing.
Alan will be taking a look at our events and already has some great ideas for these so as they
say, watch this space! Pierre will assist Brian with the club house and fortunately for us he lives
very close to it! I appeal to you all to support these two new members and indeed the entire
committee who give so generously of their time and energy to make our club great. We also
have the ability to co-opt members for additional help so stand by.
One of the first projects you will notice getting under way soon will be a revamp of our toilet
facilities at the club. While these have served us well, they are ready for an upgrade and we can
look forward to that in the months ahead. We may be slightly inconvenienced during the works
but I am sure we will put up happily with that for the improvements that will follow.
It is also up to you to give input to Alan as to the type of events that you would like to see
happening and we look forward to receiving your ideas and suggestions as well as offers of help
to organize some!
The SAVVA AGM will also have taken place by the time you read this and we will be sure to
inform you of developments. Our club members play a key role in this organisation and we are
proud and happy to be closely associated with it.
All in all then we look forward to the new club year with renewed enthusiasm and energy and
lots of fun to be had by all. Please do your part by paying your subs promptly if you have not
already done so and thereby help us to run the finances soundly too.
Until next month, happy motoring and be safe.

SAVVA Technical Tip 64 – Tail lights
One often hears comments like, they don’t build them like they used to. True, perhaps, but……..
One of the modern innovations on new cars we must admire is lights, headlights and tail lights.
There is however a fair amount we can do to upgrade the lights on our oldies like fitting more
powerful bulbs to the headlights, but what about the tail lights. Many is the time I’ve been
coming home in an oldie on the freeway at night with cars passing me at 140kph and changing
lanes with abandon. At times like this I’ve been very aware of the inadequacy of my tail lights,
whilst acceptable in their day, they are way below a modern safety standard. I do a fair amount
of night driving and although I keep well to the left I’m still concerned that today’s high speed
drivers won’t pick up my lights.
I set about finding ways to improve them. I started off by looking at one of my modern cars, a
Honda Jazz which has brilliant rear lights and they are not bigger than the oldie I was
concerned about. Both are about 8cms across and fitted with 20/6 watt bulbs. The question is
why is the one so much brighter than the other? There were two obvious reasons. Firstly the
glass lens on the old car was too thick compared to the Honda’s thin plastic one, and secondly,
the Honda had an excellent reflector where the old one had an ex-reflector; a rather dull affair
which certainly didn’t reflect much light.
I started with the reflector. I went to a scrap yard and found two found two headlight units that
were in their scrap bin. I think they were having a good day because they gave them to me.
They had good reflectors used for the indicator lights which I extracted and glued into the oldies
tail lights. The result was absolutely remarkable. The next step will be to find a modern red
glass (plastic) lens that looks original and will allow more light to go through. The original thick
glass lenses can then be carefully stored away.
The following is the tail light with the modern reflector glued in place.

Profile – Alan Hogg
Alan was born in 1947 in smoggy London but his interest in cars and bikes only started when
the family moved from London to a typical suburban area in Surrey, near Surbiton, where all the
double storey semidetached pebble coated houses were identical! However, there were a few
cars in the area, mainly small black skinny things, as well as motorcycle combinations. I clearly
recall seeing the sidecar fully loaded with mother and 2 kids, with father outside in the pouring
rain attempting to ride the contraption.
A highlight for Alan was
visiting his Dutch grandfather
in Holland, who in 1956
purchased a brand new
Oldsmobile Rocket 88. This
was huge, with enough
chrome to engulf an entire
Austin 7 and a V8 engine.
His father was transferred
South Africa and the family
arrived by ocean liner to
unbelievable
beautiful
sunshine in Cape Town
harbour 1st January 1957. He
started school at Bryanston
Primary and went on to matric
at Hyde Park High School.
Alan learned to drive in his
mother’s 3 speed Ford Anglia
100E, but his first motorised
vehicle was a very 2nd hand
Maserati 50cc moped, and he
could never get it going
properly. He got a weekend
job at the Sandown Dairy Den,
which was a popular ice cream
parlour
opposite
where
Sandton City now stands. This
helped to raise funds to buy a
Garelli Super Sport 50cc,
which ended up with a 75cc
barrel bored to 98cc.
Alan’s first job after matric was with Stanley Motors, which was a British Rootes Group owned
company, with an assembly plant just outside Alberton and 25 branches throughout SA. He is
first car was a 1956 Triumph TR2 which had no soft top whatsoever, and the huge rust holes in
the floor were suitably remedied with wood under the carpets. Price was R120.00 in those days;
R60.00 deposit and rest in court. Eventually he was awarded a company car and the TR2 was
bought by someone who is a VVC member! His last position prior to the takeover of Rootes by
Chrysler, was on the heavy truck side with the Isuzu franchise. After Chrysler took over, the non
franchise product lines had to depart the organisation.
-3-
He was approached to join a new set up to handle the Citroen and Isuzu franchises, which were
awarded to the then Rhodesian concessionaires; the marketing job being to establish
dealerships throughout SA and SWA. He clearly recalls regular visits to Lorenzo Marques to
where the CKD packs were shipped, and instructing which boxes were to go to SA and which to
Salisbury. Shortly after the company bought the ex-Rover plant in PE to ensure long term
security and Alan was appointed Marketing Director for both franchises at the age of 21.
Later, he left the Company and joined as a 50% partner in the Germiston dealer for Citroen
where the principal was his old mentor and boss at Stanley Motors. They successfully built the
company where, after being pushed to open a branch in Alberton, they were selling some 50
Citroens per month! Disaster struck in 1976. Peugeot took over Citroen, and despite
assurances to the contrary, they were cancelled as dealers overnight.
Alan and a colleague then decided to go on their own. They started Executive Cars in Randburg
and catered for classics, sports and luxury cars of all types. It was a kind of a dream world being
able to drive cars that had not been within financial reach in foregone years.
After ownership of various Jaguar, BMW and Mercedes saloons, in 1980 Alan imported a 2 year
old Porsche 930 3,3 Turbo. What a car at the time. Also the landed cost at that time was only
R35k – when it took US$1.35 to buy R1.00! He also had Pantera’s, as they had acquired the
franchise. Additionally he had two 1960s Maserati’s as restoration projects, a Mexico and a
3500GT. Over those years he also had a few Ferrari’s as well, from 308GT/4’s, 308 GTS’s, a
BB512.
Then came back problems and Hugh Gearing instructed Alan to get out of these little cars and
find something that sits like a lounge chair. Thus he obtained his first Bentley S2, then through
various Shadows and Spirits, an S3, to a 1988 Bentley Turbo R which has been with him since
1998.
Executive Cars was sold in 1999 and some semi-retirement was planned, but boredom and
inflation rapidly cured that idea. Some small export activities got him back into motorbikes after
some 25 years of absence. Good fortune led him into the business of Classic vehicle auctions
where he can combine his hobby with some earning potential.
So now with a few cars and bikes, excellent Club activities and people, there’s not much more
for Alan to wish for.

Chairman’s Report presented at the Vintage & Veteran Club AGM 2012
.
This is the fifth report I am honoured to present to you as chairman and when I accepted the
role I had no idea it would last so long! Nevertheless it has been a pleasure and a privilege to
have the responsibility of leading the club’s affairs for the period and in particular I believe we
can reflect on another good twelve months of the club’s existence.
Membership is currently at 299 which includes ten Life Members and this is pretty constant from
297 at the same time last year. This does include twenty-nine members who have not yet paid
their subs for the past year so that could mean a downward change in the number. There is
some reason for disappointment here as we did go on a membership drive and we had hoped
for a more positive outcome. It is still an acceptable position given due regard to our
membership profile, prevailing economic conditions and the fact that there are a number of
clubs in the area which might appeal to potential members.
We have had a number of outings and our premier event this year, the DJ, was extremely
successful again. Special thanks to all those who supported the DJ in particular as well as the
other runs and we look forward to a very special JD in 2013. The various outing which are
organized from time to time could be more widely supported but those who do participate
certainly enjoy themselves. Our regular Sundays with their different themes and visitors are
particularly popular and it would appear that attendance at these has grown over the past year.
Our occasional swop meets are also popular and the off-site events such as the Parkmore
gathering was a great success.
The Newsletter continues to be the glue that keeps us all together and in the know and in this
regard my special thanks go to our competent Editor Jean Gobey and the behind the scenes
man who sees to it that we all receive a copy, Brian Noik. We are in the process of making
some changes to the detail of the magazine as the costs need to be controlled in this area but
we will do what we need to ensure that you continue to receive the news you need. The
newsletter is the only contact that many members have and we would like to hear from them
sometimes.
On the social side our Friday evenings continue to be supported by the faithful and although
attendance here has definitely diminished over the past year, this continues to be a side of club
life that is enjoyed by those who attend them. Many folk do not go out at night so much and the
matter of drinking and driving also means that sense must prevail so it is not always possible for
everyone who would like to attend to do so,. Any suggestions in this regard would be
appreciated.
My most sincere thanks go to the competent committee who has once again done a super job in
the running of the club. We are a small committee by some club standards and that means that
each member shoulders a heavier burden than might have been the case however we have got
the job done and that is what counts. I would like to thank each member individually for their
efforts. Eric is my competent and very supportive Vice Chairman and also picks up the SAVVA
liaison where he is President, writes numerous technical articles and generally handles so many
day to day matters seemingly effortlessly. Brian continues to take care of our clubhouse and
must be commended for his endless dedication and patience in trying to resolve the saga of our
lease. I had hoped we could settle this three years ago and despite assurances that there are
no problems we have still not yet been able to sign the new arrangement. I cannot explain why
this is so but must assure you that we have done all that is possible to get this finalised and are
confident that it will be done in due course. Noel must be thanked for the excellent job he does
of taking care of both all our secretarial functions and the complex task of maintaining our
membership records. New comer to the committee Paul Koski has taken care of our finances for
-5-
the past year as well as doing an excellent job of organizing some events and getting involved
in a range of activities while hosting our committee meetings at his business premises. Ian
Middleton has been our event’s organizer and a number of successful garage visits as well as
other runs have been done by him. Owing to time constraints Ian has indicated he is not
available for re-election. My sincere and personal thanks to all of these committee members for
their continued willingness to serve and the effort which they put in.
Harry Shutler has served as the Dating Officer for the club for the past thirty years and now
tendered his resignation from this role. Our most sincere thanks go to Harry to the service he
has rendered. This key function will become even more important in the near future and the
committee has requested me to take on the role from Harry. I agree to do this.
Gwyneth Thomas has done another fine year’s service in our library and we all owe her a debt
of gratitude for both the library and for opening the club on a Friday night. I also wish to thank
John Hassall for organising the breakfast runs and for the big task of taking care of the DJ
Trophies where he is also assisted by Gwyneth Thomas. Special thanks to all those who do bar
duty. That is a very important role and we have a volunteer to sign up duties into our new year.
Thanks Hamish and I know you will be overwhelmed by the number of volunteers!! .
Finally it has been a pleasure to serve you as your Chairman for another year and my thanks to
each one of you for joining and remaining members as that is what makes our club. If there is
any way in which you would like to see some change or you have a new idea or suggestion the
committee would love to hear from you.
Ladies and Gentlemen, thanks for your attention and that concludes the Chairman’s report.

BRIEF REPORT ON THE “33rd MAGNUM” SAVVA NATIONAL RALLY HELD
ON 16th TO 18th AUGUST 2012
WHIPPING UP A STORM IN MPUMALANGA or DRAMA ON THE MAGNUM
Barbara and I entered our Sunbeam Alpine on the Magnum Rally, a spider event based at the
excellent Protea Hotel Hazeyview. This venue proved to be ideal for this well organized event.
“The Magnum” used to be a vintage classic motorcycle event. Wisely Steff Stander and his
excellent and highly competent team decided to invite classic cars to come along which swelled
to numbers of entries to 51 (ie 20 cars and 31 bikes).
The flexibility for the entrants afforded them a choice of categories from hard core rallying to
relaxed touring of the same route, a format which allows and includes all types of old cars and
bike enthusiasts at the same time bridging the gap between car and bike enthusiasts.
Barbara and I traditionally have competed on bikes, hers and mine, but on this occasion we
were able to combine our rallying skills!! Often with some volatile moments, notwithstanding
this, we achieved a 2nd in Class Trophy - a triumph (delete Triumph) for our little Sunbeam
which we drove topless (I mean with the hood down) to and from the event, in the company of
Alan and Lindsay Hogg in their E-Type Jag. We were not quite as fast but I suspect we beat
them at the petrol pumps!
Three days of great rallying including such diverse elements – fire, wind, rain and fog/mist – in
the magical topographical scenery of Mpumalanga.
-6-
On the Friday, with the very foul, cold and misty weather up Kowyn’s Pass caused some of the
competitors had to “call it quits”, but there were others, who “hung in” and then fought through
some more dense mist up Long Tom Pass, ….
… but the marshals, bravely, manned their points through it all and still managed to clock the
competitors who suddenly appeared from “no-where”. Absolutely everyone who braved it
should be commended.
My message to all who have classic or historic cars or bikes is simply – USE THEM – that’s
what our hobby is all about. The bonus is the fun and camaraderie which is unsurpassed in any
other pastime activity.
I encourage the members not only of my own Sunbeam Club but of all clubs in the
historical/classic car movements. It’s all about fun and friendship with folks of like interests.
That’s the victory, not necessarily winning a trophy. Although the 2nd in Class Cup (viva le
Sunbeam) that Barbara unexpectedly received, was something to crow about!
The results were officially as follows:
GROUP A : Motor cycles up to 1960 (18 entries)
Winner – Dane Fraser
GROUP B : Motor cycles between 1961 & 1985 (12 entries) Winner – Fritz Kreahmer
GROUP C : Motor cars up to 1985 (16 entries)
Winner – Brian & Patsy Taverna
The GROUP D “Touring Class” (non-competitive) was for motor cars & motor cycles up to 1985
comprising 5 entries.
In summary, the real winners are the “Stander Gang” who not only organized a most memorable
event, but very importantly in these tough economic times, persuaded Messrs Protea Hotels to
offer the participants a most generous tariff which this saving allowed us more cash to pay for
more important matters – ie drinking and feasting.
Thanks and congratulations to all concerned in producing an outstanding event.
JOHN ALLISON
News from Sandy Mitchell - USA
“Last January, the winter was extremely mild in our part of the world. Would you believe we had little or
no snow in Michigan? With that I looked at my uncompleted garage which I had started 18 years ago
and which was now rotting away in my back yard. But like everything else in life, construction had
stopped due to other expenses raising families, bills, private tuition for the boys, health issues etc a fact
of life for all of us. So, in mid-January I began demolishing the garage and set about constructing a new
one. As fate would have it, our next door neighbor, a retired contractor agreed to construct a new one for
me. I would provide the 'grunt' work hauling the materials to the site, (let me tell you, at 64 my body was
-7-
aching from doing such physical tasks) and "Red' who is 60 was handling the materials like a 20 year old
being from the trades along with his nephew. Within 3 weekends the job was completed for the basic
shell. Red is anal in the good sense in that he demands perfection on projects or job sites, no
exceptions. When the township inspector came over to give final approval he gazed at the completed
work and quietly said "this isn’t garage construction - this is %^$%%%^ house construction! With the
garage completed, now Dee will have a place to park her car in the main garage, after 18 years.
In other news, I completed my 4th year as a volunteer at the Concours d' Elegance of America in
Plymouth Michigan near Detroit, one of the 300 volunteers for the event. My function was to help set up
the ropes and stanchions on the viewing field. I was host to a Camilo Hernandez Rincon of Bogota,
Colombia who flew up here to be a volunteer with me. He is an active member of the Renault and VW
clubs in Colombia. While here, I took him to the usual, the Henry Ford Museum, the Gilmore Museum the home of the classic car club of America, and of course the awesome Auburn Cord Duesenburg
Museum. He was like a child in a candy shop clicking more than 1000 pictures while he was here. He
said " Sandy - there are cars we only dream about in magazines and to see them in the flesh is beyond
words".
Well Hershey is just around the corner too. Terry Lee of the UK and Len Ward of Cape Town are flying in
for the event. Terry has been a regular visitor to South Africa visiting his buddy Johan Marais of
Constantia. He has attended several events in South Africa including our National in Queenstown with
Johan's American LaFrance Firetruck.
Last week I received an email from Fred Rasher of Pietermaritzburg former President of SAVVA. He will
be visiting the US next week and asked if he could stop by as he is participating in a tour in the Detroit
and Windsor Canada area. I will be taking him and his wife to Gilmores Museum also while he is here. I
told him Hershey is only about three weeks away, so after twisting his wife’s arm a bit to modify their
plans, he has been allowed to attend Hershey but only for 2 days. His wife wants to see the Vanderbilt
home in Asheville NC.
In late October, Dee and I will be heading for the Orlando Florida area to take our former neighbor to her
winter home. However, we are stopping at Hilton Head, South Carolina where once again I will volunteer
for the Hilton Head Concours d Elegance which is on November the 4th. This will be my first time at that
venue. Then we will leave for our neighbor’s home in the Orlando area. On Nov 6th I board a flight to
Bogota and Cali Colombia, to visit Camilo and on to Cali to visit the boys at the VW Club and attend their
monthly meeting. Thank God most speak fluent English because my Spanish is at the two year old level.
If I don’t make it back from Colombia you will know I've been kidnapped for ransom. Hell! What are they
gonna get - an unrestored Packard!
Well this was just an update
As always, best regards to all my Buds and their Sig others/
Sandy and Dee”

Breakfast Runs
After the severe storms with hail, heavy rains and bitter cold during the preceding week, Sunday
9 September was a beautiful sunny day, and it was good to welcome Brian and Estee
Groenewald as first-timers on a breakfast run to Junipa’s in Bryanston. It was ‘welcome back’ to
Wendy Hay after she had spent many months recovering from back surgery. Great to see you
Wendy. Relaxing under umbrellas on the verandah we enjoyed excellent food and great service
at this new venue for runs.
The next Breakfast Run will be held at The Secret Tea Garden, Norscot Manor on 14 October
2012 from 08:30.
.

Also in the news, Patrick Watson, grandson of founder member Jeffs Watson, was married on
the 1st September to Bryony, and we wish them much happiness in the life together. This
photograph was taken as they left St Michaels church in Bryanston, on the 1909 Schact, owned
by Patrick’s uncle, Tony Watson.
Letters
“Hi Jean,
Many years ago, when “Cars in The Park” (or was it Angela’s Picnic?) used to be staged at
Megawatt Park Club, in the grounds of the Eskom Head Office, I recall seeing what looked, from
a distance, like a cross between a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost and a Bugatti Royale – it was
neither! It turned out to be an Isotta Fraschini (no, I hadn’t heard of the marque either!).
My late father-In-law, John Haswell, who was with me that day in the park, recognised it
immediately and proceeded to tell me how he had spent some time, during the 2nd World War,
in the Aosta Valley in Northern Italy where he struck up an “intimate relationship” (his
description) with a local Countess whose father had an Isotta Fraschini which, rather unusually I
would imagine, he used to plough his tracts of land in preparation for the planting of new vines.
“Wonderfully torquey that straight eight engine” John told me “and marvelously smooth too –
practically no vibration all the way up the rev-range”.
So I’m writing to you in the hope that someone out there in Vintage ‘n Veteranville may know of
the whereabouts of one of these rare beasts as I have a couple of hectares needing
ploughing…!
I would be interested in any example, in any condition, and would love to hear from anyone who
has any information which might assist me in my quest.
Best regards,
