The Gawler Veteran Vintage and Classic Vehicle Club 

Annual Dinner and Presentation night 

This was held on 18 th August at the new venue of the Gawler Jockey 

Club. This was the ideal venue with reasonable sound quality to 

enhance the great music of “Holly and the Buddies” (but they were 

without “Holly”). (I believe that past President Mark was asked who 

the band was, and since he could not remember he looked at the front 

of the Bass Drum and reported back that they were called “Pearl”). All 

reports were that the dance floor was great. 

The club has video screens distributed on all walls and these are 

coupled to a central computer system. As a result we were able to 

screen photos of club events in an unobtrusive manner such that they 

were visible to all those present. The quality was much better than we 

were able to achieve at the Gawler Arms. 

Since the venue is new there are still some learnings to occur, and the 

delivery of meals needs to be improved for future events. However the 

delays gave great opportunities for those sitting at tables to 

communicate with each other. 

Past President Mark Chapman announced that the President’s Award 

for 2011/2012 went to Fred Chapman for the great work he did in 

organising events during the year, in particular the June Long 

Weekend event at Mount Gambier. Since Fred was not present at the 

dinner, the actual award was presented to him at the August General 

meeting. 

Martin Stephens was presented with the Hard Luck Award for his 

adventure with a runaway caravan at Mount Gambier. It is 

demonstrative of a good year for members in that this particular 

adventure did not result in any damage to man or machine, and that no 

more serious events were reported to be in the running for the award. 

Various members who organised events during the year were 

presented with a bottle of wine of their choice from a selection. (note 

for future presentations, What about an option for teetotallers?) 

92 members enjoyed a great night out. Thanks to Paul and Marianne 

Modra for organising the event 

Dare I mention that the butter was cold and hard, but a couple of 

unique methods were developed to soften it. The editor had trouble 

keeping abreast of it. Eileen said that " Butter would not melt in my 

mouth, but it might if I put it somewhere else!"

Welcome to all these new members. We look forward to seeing you out and about with your vehicles 

We have also lost 26 memberships from people who have not renewed memberships. Some of these were 

very long term members and we are sorry to see them go. Age and mortality catches up with us all after a 

while. 

At the end of August our membership stood at 302 consisting of 120 single memberships and 182 joint 

memberships giving a total member count of 484. 

Please record your attendances at events and meetings 

All members please note that all persons attending club events (including general meetings) must record their 

attendances on the run sheets or in the attendance book. Please print your name in a legible manner in 

BLOCK LETTERS in the appropriate place, and then sign. 

There are 2 good reasons to do this. Most importantly you are covered by club insurance should the 

untoward happen, and also your attendance is recorded to ensure that you meet the club attendance 

requirements for continuing membership

Changes to club appointments contact information 

Please note that some club contacts have changed in the last couple of months. This is now reflected on page 

2 of the Journal and page 2 of the Members Directory 

Alan Kempster, Club Registrar, has removed any reference to his mobile, which is never turned on. His best 

contact is 8562 8651 

Ron Stephens, membership secretary has cancelled his land line and can now be contacted either on his 

mobile 0417 848 541 or email cabby115@bigpond.com. 

Colin Curtis, Federation Representative has cancelled his land line and can now be contacted only by 

mobile 0439 819 943. 

Both Ron and Colin have cited difficulty in understanding foreign telemarketers as contributing to their decision. The 

Editor is sympathetic, having received 3 offers from Microsoft Technical support in 2 days, despite being on the “Do 

Not Call” Register. Unfortunately, mobiles do not work well at Port Parham, so please call the Editor on 8529 2504 in 

the first instance, do not call his mobile. 

For those not in the know, calls from “Microsoft Technical Support” are a scam. They seek access to your computer, 

introduce a virus, and request money from you to “fix” it. Sylvia knows when I get a call. After the phone is slammed 

down, she says “Was that Microsoft again?”. If you get such calls, just hang up on them.

101 Years of Motoring Display Sunday 21st of October 2012 

The Sporting Car Club of South Australia proudly present the 101 Years of Motoring display. 

Come and see over 200 cars representing all eras of motoring from the early 1900s to 2012 models, featuring 

iconic cars of the decades. 

You can stroll amongst a wide range of saloons, sports cars, racing cars, very old cars, daily drivers, projects 

and supercars. There will also be a jumping castle for the children, displays of the Sporting Car Club's 

activities and Club library as well as catering. 

The event is supporting the Australian Paralympic Committee so pack a picnic to enjoy in the adjacent 

parklands and bring the whole family for a great day. 


Restoration workshops 

The restoration workshops on the restoration of the Triumph Dolomite are going 

well All club members are encouraged to get involved by tackling the cleaning 

and restoration of parts. The car has been reduced to 3 major portions and at the 

October workshop the front and rear subassemblies will be dismantled and the 

main body will be ready for paint stripping and preparation for repainting. If you 

can bring stripping tools this will be of advantage. The strippers offered at the 

September meeting are of little practical use! 

Club members are encouraged to bring 10 drink containers of the 10c deposit 

type to each general meeting. In 4 meetings we will have paid for 4 tyres if all get 

involved. 

Restoration workshops occur at Trevor Evan’s shed 114 Bassnet Road, 

Humbug Scrub on the first Thursday of the month. 

The following dates have been scheduled: 

Thurs 4 th October Thurs 1 st November Thurs 6 th December 

(No workshop in January) 

Restoration Torque 

At the September meeting a question was raised regarding advice on anyone 

with expertise in restoring crash gearboxes. If you know of anyone please 

advise the editor or Trevor Evans. 

Also several people have asked about chroming services. Please see June 2012

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 home page by clicking the “Run report template” button . 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. 

Lobethal Mannum and Mypolonga Sunday 29th July Bruce and Anne Williams 

Around 40 club members participated in the above run where the first stop was 

Lobethal and as usual at this time of the year the weather was slightly cool and a fine 

drizzle settled in . Fred had arranged for us to see a collection of historic vehicles 

owned by the Bierhaus Brewery and my favourite was a beautiful Hudson Terraplane 

From there we travelled through Mt Torrens to Palmer and Mannum a very scenic 

route at any time. I think how lucky we are having such great drives so close to home. 

At Mannum we mostly had lunch under cover on the waterfront reserve watching the 

water traffic and socialised. After lunch some walked the main street dodging a slight 

drop of the wet stuff for a look around the shops etc. Later we all travelled to 

Mypolonga to see a display of vehicles owned by one of Fred’s Mates and guess 

what? they were mainly Graham Paiges. We had afternoon tea there and admired the 

many vehicles on display Fred gave a vote of thanks from the club to Marlene & Alan 

Haggar for their display and Gavin Launer gave a vote of thanks 

from the club in appreciation of Fred and Noelines effort as events 

director and all agreed that he has done a great job. After this we all 

made our way home 

We had Mike & Mary Osborne plus Molly the dog following 

behind us but as we came over the top of Checker Hill { between 

Gumeracha & Kersbrook } I lost sight of them and went back only 

to find their TR4 on the side of this very windy bit of road with a 

collapsed front passenger side suspension and some body damage. I 

Think that they should buy a lottery ticket as this situation could 

have been very nasty. The Moules and us stayed until the towtruck 

loaded their car onboard which was a bit tricky too, taking a few 

hours and not sure at this time if they are getting it returned to 

Ardrossan. 

A long Day for them but Molly didnt mind and was very relaxed, so 

now she tells her story! 

MOLLY”S BIG DAY OUT 

Well, with my Mum and Dad having bought the TR4A a while back, I’m always looking 

for trips out as the back seat passenger. In a little over a year, the little car has covered 

about 8000 kms. Dad keeps it as clean underneath as on the top, so I have to watch my 

feet and my hairs! Of our three cars, this is the best one for me to look out from too. 

Recently we headed off to meet our friends from the Gawler VVCCC for a trip to 

Mannum and Mypolonga. That meant an early start for the 125km to Gawler, arriving 

about 9 AM .with a comfort and fuel stop at Dublin. As I wag my tail a lot, I’m fairly well 

known and perhaps I’ll get my own red name badge soon. A nice man call Fred always 

has everything under control and before long we were enjoying a stop at Lobethal. I had a nap in the car 

while Mum and Dad had a good look as some Dodge open wheelers, a nice Chev roadster and a big blue car, 

a Terraplane perhaps. I’d have been lost in that car! These cars were in a building that was marked the Bier 

Haus and I wondered how long they’d all be in brewery, especially as we’d met up with Bruce and Anne 

Williams in their TR7. ( No seat for me in one of those!) 

Then we were on to Mannum, via Birdwood where I’ve been lots of times. Sometimes I’ve sneaked in on the 

Bay to Birdwood Runs when I’m not supposed to, but as I’m better behaved than lots of kids, people are 

generally kind to me. Mannum was good, as we all sat around and I got fed some tit bits. Then I had a walk 

along the edge of the River Murray. Next we took a fair drive to Mypolonga. This was great place for me as I 

love to look at alpacas and sheep. However Dad was taken by the beautiful collection of cars owned by the 

hosts, Alan and Marlene Hagger. They also had a nice dog, so we had a few sniffs together, but I figured all 

the lovely afternoon tea on offer was too fattening for me. Down in the shed there were some other old cars 


that had not been restored and I think the 1957 Dodge ute would have been a great car to have. However, 

Alan Hagger has retained a lot of vehicles owned by his father and grandfather which have a great story. 

Fred’s Graham Paige was parked next to one of the Hagger’s GP cars, but Dad loved a sports coupe version 

that would have suited me too. One lady was asking lots of questions about round rubber things at the back 

of a red Chev roadster. I’d have known there were the stepping points to get into the dickey seat- what a 

great ride that would be! Elsewhere, my Mum admired the lovely outfits owned and worn by Mrs Hagger 

when she travels in the old cars. Just as we were leaving, Fred gave the Haggers a thank you gift and I 

counted 41 people and 19 cars in the car park. I did count the sheep in the paddock too- and nearly fell 

asleep. 

We had a fair way to travel home, so along with the Moules, we followed the Williams’ TR7 back through 

Palmer and into Birdwood. Bruce put a move on and we were not sure which way he’d go home. Before too 

long we’d turned up a new road for me, Checker Hill Road. This got steeper and steeper and Dad was 

wiggling the gearlever a lot, when suddenly there was noise and the car came quickly to a halt. I knew 

something was wrong and glad we’d be going fairly slow and just got off the winding road. 

Dad knew something was amiss and fortunately the Williams’ came back to 

help, but it was certain we’d be going home in something other than the 

TR4. The Moules and some other nice people came to help and after about 

an hour, the RAA tow truck arrived. I was feeling tired and had a nap in the 

car. Being doggy people, my Mum and Dad pay the top RAA membership, 

so as to get the car themselves and me back home, but we’ve never used the 

service before. The men walked up and down the road, looking for anything 

that might have fallen off, but only found a rubber washer. 

The tow truck man, Barry, came from Forreston, but he had to get the truck 

from Birdwood. A Ranger had come along in a vehicle with red and blue 

lights like Dad has on the ambulance, so that warned people of the traffic 

hazard. With lots of Gawler Club people, the Ranger and the tow truck 

driver, the car was put on the tilt tray and we started to head to Ardrossan. 

Barry, our driver was hoping to feed his horses before the long trip, but 

managed to find a friend to help him out collecting some hay. I was in the 

back of the crew cab, all nice and warm, but Dad sat up the front talking 

about horses and dogs to our driver. Barry managed to grab a pie and a 

drink for his tea when he stopped for fuel. By 9 PM we were near 

Ardrossan and Dad called his friend with the garage, so as to get the car put 

away for the night. We all thanked Barry and he headed back off to 

Birdwood. 

I was really tired when I got in and I slept OK, but I knew that Dad kept thinking about what had broken on 

the car. Mum asked him if he’d fiddled with anything, but he said, “No” Next day, he found that it was not 

his fault, but due to a part that had not been replaced, event though it was all clean and shiny. Dad has 

ordered lots of bits to fix both sides of the car up as new, so that will mean a few less biscuits for me I guess. 

Anyway, it was a bit of an adventure and we all said that it reminded us there are a lot of nice people about. 

I reckon my “ Paws for Thought” is that however clean and shiny something looks on the outside, you never 

know what’s underneath. 

Collingrove Run Wednesday22 nd August Bruce Williams 

We went on the run to Collingrove today and had a good time but only 10 went along A bit of rain to start 

with but cleared up early and ended up in the Angaston Bakery. 

Run to Victor Harbor.Sunday 26 th August Barbara McLellan 

The first touch of spring gave around 22 people an enjoyable, warm and sunny day at 

Victor Harbor on Sunday, 26 August. Some used their Heritage listed cars while 

others travelled in their conventional cars for the 300km plus round trip, mostly 

leaving from Gawler. However Ron and I caught up with the group at O'Halloran 

Hill for morning tea at Cafe Buongiorno where there was a special tea/coffee and 

cake deal! We all travelled on to Victor Harbor along the road through Mt. Compass 

without seeing much traffic going either way, arriving around noon. Parking along 

the foreshore proved a bit difficult with some having to pay for the privilege. We 

were able to purchase food at any of the local shops or provide our own BYO picnic 

lunch to eat looking at the calm ocean. Several people caught the 1.30pm diesel- 


drawn Cockle train to Goolwa and return while others shopped or did their own 

thing. 

Ron and I caught the horse-drawn tram to Granite Island and had a look around there 

before walking back in the sunshine across the causeway to enjoy a huge double 

'Scoops' icecream - a must do tradition when we visit Victor Harbor! People 

travelled home along various routes after a relaxing and enjoyable day. 

Old Car Day, Saturday September 1 st 

The first day of spring and it was just that, a fabulous day full of spring sunshine after a 

cool start, and about 200 old vehicles came together at Bethany Reserve to give their 

owners the opportunity to blow away the cobwebs. Vehicles on display were many and 

varied from a 1912 De Dion Bouton out to celebrate its 100th birthday, an early T model 

Ford, several vehicles of the 1920’s era, through to relative moderns of the 50’s 60’s and 

70’s including an International Truck and other vehicles from the Bordertown club, and 

about 40 vehicles from the Morris register and the Morris Minor club. 

We had some visitors from a Vintage Caravan club who coincidently were holding a rally at Tanunda 

Caravan Park, and one of the NARC members rolled up with a Simca Aronde wagon towing a teardrop 

caravan. 

The De Dion Bouton resulted in some discussion at our September meeting with some 

indicating that there was only one De Dion recorded in SA and that is a 1904 model, so this 

must have been it. The vehicle at this day was definitely a 1912 model and is owned by club 

member Clive Hill and features on our front cover this issue. For the record here is a picture 

of a 1904 model. 

Thanks to those who volunteered to act as parking marshalls, and to the tea persons for keeping the cuppa 

going. Brian Cox and Barry Bywater were there bright and early to fire up the urn and to gather wood to get 

the fireplace blazing. The GVVCV ran 3 runs as usual, with the Gawler run travelling via Lyndoch with the 

Bordertown club in tow, the Mallala run started a bit empty but met up with the MAPS mob at Freeling and 

the Elizabeth run as usual excelled itself with the Monte Carlo like Old Car Day stickers causing much envy 

among other participants. 

Old Car Day Elizabeth Run Martin Stephens 

Fifty four people, in thirty one vehicles, assembled at Fremont Park to 

join in with the southern contingent of our run to Bethany Park. Despite 

the somewhat extended start time most met up again at Doncho’s Café in 

the Virginia Nursery. This was not a secret destination - we simply prefer 

everyone on our run to “start at the very beginning, it’s a very good place 

to start,” at least according to Julie Andrews. 

Unfortunately the A40 leading the way (David and June Kent) developed a fuel blockage and was 

subsequently towed home by Norm and Judy Matthews’ Plymouth Cranbrook; both couples rejoining us 

later as we continued through Gawler and Lyndoch. 

Anyway, the Virginia stop allowed time for breakfast (and gardening supplies for some) whilst the “tail-end- 

Charlie” was then able to take over as the lead car. 

Travelling on we turned onto the Northern Expressway, which was under construction last time we had come 

this way in 2009. We had originally intended to travel on this until Gomersal Road but were concerned about 

the limited space available for the right hand turn, so opted for a revision of route through Willaston, Gawler 

and thence onto the Barossa Valley Highway. Several people took a break at Lyndoch before continuing to 

Bethany Park, chatting with Morris Club members and others who also paused there. 

It was most rewarding to receive compliments concerning this run from those who attended, in particular 


mentioning the way we vary our route each year and also our souvenir “participant” plaques (albeit 

laminated paper). Remember these are purely for Fremont to Bethany vehicles, although the ground swell 

from others is growing! 

Minor gripe re-parking, it is unnecessary to shout comments across the oval - we came in at walking pace, 

followed directions, and did not park where others might need to park. Perhaps the “participant” plaques 

were an indication which group we were and we could have been parked together, as we had expected. 

Never the less we all fitted in with room to spare. 

Many thanks to those who provided photos for this report, Ed 

Gawler Swap Meet Sunday September 23rd 

Your scribe was up bright and early (but not as early as many 

other volunteers) to the sound of 50kph winds and rain. “Not a 

good day for a swap meet!”. Fired up the trusty Peugeot and 

on the way. The rain got heavier around Mallala and then 

petered out around Reeves Plains where the road was quite 

dry. Arrived at the Gawler rec centre to find no wind and no 

rain, and things happenning in a very orderly manner, apart 

from the two gate attendants who demanded a $55 entry fee 

from the Press. 

The day remained perfect for a swap meet, light breezes and 

plenty of sunshine, and a very good variety of goods on offer. 

It was good to see a balance between the good old stuff and 

the Ford/ Holden/ Chrysler gear which has tended to take over 

recent swap meets. Unfortunately I was unable to find much British stuff for my Jowett and Rover, so went 

home empty handed. 

It was great to see and hear Bob Perry back in the announcers booth and the keenness of the club volunteers 

who manned the gates, organised the sellers, and did the myriad other jobs that are required at a swap meet. 

Attendance of both sellers and buyers was comparable with last year, and possibly could have been better if 

others were put of by the inclement weather that your scribe experienced, and the number of indoor sites 

were dissapointing, although the goods on display was impressive. The car display area was also sparsely 

populated with display cars and moderns intermixed. 

Having filled the camera, and responded to numerous queries from members and the public, your scribe was 

feeling a bit flat, and returned to the Peugeot to find that it was flat also, the lights having been left on for 5 

hours. Thanks to the Harvey boys who provided a jump start. Then caught up with Fred at Reeves Plains and 


he ran out of petrol (Did this have something to do with the two extra carbies he 

had in the boot which he purchased at the swap meet?). Between Reeves Plains 

and Redbanks it started to rain again, and back at Port Parham the wind was still 

blowing and it was rather moist. The Gawler Swap Meet was fortunate to have 

had a great day. 

An Unlikely Tale 

Submitted by Bob Kay 

As a reader of Astronomy and science magazines,I recently came across the following. 

Please note that the detail cannot be verified. 

As you have all heard many times the words Al-Qaida and Al-Jazeera and wondered what they mean 

The prefix 'Al' simply means ' The' , so, Al-Qaida means 'The Camp' or 'The Group' and Al-Jazeera means 

'The voice' or the 'Communicator'. 

We have adopted some of the Arabic words into the English language, a good example is the Arabic word 

'Al-gebha' which means ' The Method' , we now know this as the English word Algebra. 

We have also carried this Prefix into English names, where the prefix now means 'TheSon Of'. For example 

Albert means the son of Bert, Allan means the son of Lan and Alvin the son of Vin. 

Some research shows that Vin was in fact an assistant to the medieval Knights back in 1492, and in those 

days the knights were into Jousting, you know what I mean, the sport where they rode horses and charged at 

each other with lances or as they were then called Javelins. 

It seems that Vins job was to repair or restore any broken Javelins, and it is said 

that there is a photo in existence of Vin standing in front of his workshop under a 

sign that says ' Broken Javelins Repaired or Restored 

While You Wait' . However I have been unable to verify the existence of this 

photo. 

Will this one do? Signed Al-vin

MY BUCKET LIST 

All of my life I have loved cars! In fact I believe I have owned more than 70 from when 

I bought my first car when I was 16. It was a black 1938 Ford V8. From 1956 when I 

was 18 years old, I began in the Taxi industry so always had to maintain cars to the 

desired standard set by the Taxi Board – that was my excuse to fix another vehicle! 

Over the years, some of the cars I have owned (and wish I still had some of them!) are: 

1926 Essex, 1928 Buick, 1926 whippet, 1927 Dodge, 1940 Ford, 1942 Ford, 1948 

Chevrolet, 1953 Ford, 1958 Ford, circa 1960 Simca Aronde, 1969 Fiat 850 sedan, 1970 

Fiat 850 sports coupe plus most models of numerous Falcons and Holdens to 1980’s. 

As the years passed, I found that I was 1iving pretty well day to day without much purpose as to here I was 

heading until I met Barbara in 1998, We found we had a lot of common interests such as our love of the 

outback, country music, interstate and overseas travel, 4x4 driving etc, so enjoyed sharing many happy times 

which also included belonging to Probus and a walking group and keeping in touch with friends and 

relations, In all a very busy and rewarding lifestyle! 

However, I discovered that LIFE had some unexpected surprises for me. I have always been aware of having 

regular health checks that are recommended by the health system so was rather shocked when, in October 

2008 my Urologist suggested that I have a biopsy on my prostrate. It detected that I had cancer in the 

prostrate gland and it was outside of the gland which ruled out having an operation. So in November 2008 I 

began 6 weeks of hormone therapy to shrink the cancer before I was able to have 37 sessions of radiotherapy 

– five days a week for just over 7 weeks, finishing at the end of February 2009. It was all very tiring but 

necessary and as the days passed, I did a lot of soul searching and thinking. I came to the conclusion that I 

was so much luckier than some men in similar circumstances, to have been given the chance to do something 

about the problem before the cancer spread to other organs of my body. I also realized how thin and precious 

that thread of life is. 

I decided to make a Bucket 1ist of things I would like to do before my time on earth was up! (Some people 

may relate to film of that name.) 

One wish high on my agenda was to work on old engines to help restore and keep them going. I have 

wonderful memories of when I used to visit my Grandparents at Kimba during school holidays all those 

years ago. I was allowed to help when there were problems with tractor and other machinery engines so I 

learned a lot and enjoyed the success of hearing them fire up So I joined the Gawler Machinery Restorers 

Club which meets at the Roseworthy Campus each Wednesday to maintain, mend and repair old farm 

machinery that belong to the Museum there. We chaps have a great camaraderie and feel pretty chuffed when 

we hear an old engine come to life, sometimes after many hours of working on it. 

Another top of the list wish was to own an old car again. I didn’t mind which make or model so long as it 

was driven by an engine without a computer! 

At the beginning of March 2009, I was lucky to find for sale at Macclesfield, a 1962 Wolseley 15/60. I fell in 

love at first sight!!! It was shiny black with red upholstery and I thought it looked really grand. A trailer load 

of spare parts went with the car, but luckily 1 never had to use any of them. 

So Barbara and 1 joined the Gawler Veteran, Vintage and Classic Vehicle Club and have really enjoyed 

every outing we have been on. The club is well run with monthly meetings and journals to keep us up to date 

with past and up-coming events. The members are friendly and the runs we have attended are always 

interesting and well organised by different members. We go on as many as possible through the week and on 

weekends and have had great times on three interstate June-long-weekend trips. 

I have since sold the Wolseley to a chap who lives in Barmera and I now own a 1975 Jaguar XJ6L. 1 seem to 

spend a lot of time under the bonnet or in the boot and trying to get all the switches to work, but that is half 

of the fun of owning an old car! 

Two of the top priorities on my Bucket List are being realised and enjoyed. I am working my way through 

the list (adding some more as I go) and am determined to enjoy every one and every day as it comes! 

I consider myself to be a Cancer Survivor and strongly recommend that all men over 50 have an annual PSA 

blood test plus the digital examination. My PSA was normal so the cancer would not have been detected 

early without the ‘finger’ test and I may not have been here to write this! I feel my life is more interesting 

and fulfilling after having to face what might have been!

• The photo was taken about 35 years ago. 

• He still owns the car he owned then. 

• The said car is 20 to 30 years older than 

him. 

• The car is not in the photo.

1952 Allard P1 

In the August edition of the Journal I mentioned issues with an Allard in Queensland. Here are some photos 

of the car. Allards were built by Sydney Allard who liked to build specials for his own use, but people liked 

them so much that they influenced him to build them for sale. Most early Allards were based on British Ford 

parts and the P1 uses Ford Pilot motors and transmissions including the rear axle with the longitudinal 

springs typical of Ford design but with a Panhard rod to improve handling. Unfortunately Allard used his 

own design for the front end with swing axles with coil springs. The swing axles rotate from the centre line 

of the car and a s a result the camber changes significantly with every bump, which makes driving an Allard 

interesting! Obviously Sydney Allard mastered this idiosyncrasy, as he drove a P1 to out right victory in the 

1952 Monte Carlo Rally (Stirling Moss was second in a Sunbeam Talbot 90) 

Later Allards used Chrysler and Cadillac V8s as motive power and Sydney was always experimenting with 

different types of racing vehicles. He is considered to be the father of British Drag Racing. He once 

developed a rather weird vehicle for hill climbs: a twin-engined Steyr four-wheel-drive prototype, of great 

complexity. “All this leads to 9 litres of motor car and a very brave Sydney Allard surrounded by chains, 

shafts and engines” The car featured a solidly-mounted rear axle to which he planned to mount Americantype 

dragster slick tyres. This was an early indication of the influence of American drag racing on his 

designs. The car was never successfully run and soon abandoned.
