REDAKSIONEEL

EDITORIAL

Die tyd het aangebreek om die tuig as redakteur

neer te lê. Dit was vir my ‘n groot voorreg om die

nuusbrief met julle te deel. Dit was nie ‘n maklike

besluit, maar daar kom tye in mens se lewe om

keuses te maak.

Thanks for everybody who helped me compiling the newsletter and keeping it

interesting. I will however continue as an active POMC member, trying to recruit

new members with every opportunity where car talk is involved.

You do not know how much time and effort the current committee is putting in, for

free, to keep POMC as one of the best car clubs in South Africa, looking at the 50

year existence book, Cars in The Park, Mampoer and Magnum rallies, to name but a

few outstanding achievements.

UIT DIE BESTUURSSITPLEK……………….FROM THE DRIVER’S SEAT

Die winter is stadig besig om te verdwyn en dit skep die geleentheid om weer ons ou motors in die

sonskyn uit te bring en te geniet. Ek hoop die bande is nog styf en die batterye gelaai vir die res van die jaar

se aktiwiteite tot kersfees wat net om die draai is! In hierdie verband het ‘n mooi getal lede die Tiger Valley

College se opedag ondersteun sedert ons vorige Nuusbrief. Netso was daar ook goeie bywoning van die

Kitty Hawk Aircraft and Classic Car Day

Tydens ons laaste klub-aand kon ons luister en met bewondering kyk na die 1933 Ford Model Y wat ‘n

perfekte afskaling van die Amerikaanse model vir Engelse omstandighede van destyds was. Die

Kraamwinkels kan trots wees op hierdie unieke voertuig en die toestand daarvan!

‘n Spesiale word van dank aan Frik en sy lojale span wat gesorg het dat die Cars In The Park weer suksesvol

verloop het. Elke jaar verbeter die reëlings deur ondervinding en word die kommentaar meer en gunstiger.

Alhoewel die huidige ekonomiese resessie waarneembaar was, bly dit steeds ‘n gewilde geleentheid vir al

die motorklubs, publiek en handelaars. Even the Executive Mayor of Pretoria, the honourable Mr. Solly

Msimanga, attended with four of his own vehicles and as a member of his motor club!

The annual Magnum Rally also turned out to be a very successful event with 53 participants, albeit only 9

from the POMC. Thank you Leo and your team (mainly POMC members) for all the arrangements, behind

the desk and at the road side. The routes were very interesting and proved challenging, whilst the social

events, meals and accommodation was superb!

Berto and Claude represented the POMC at the SAVVA annual general meeting in Durban. This proved to

be a valuable event to interact with other clubs, raise some concerns and take note of developments in the

veteran and vintage car environment.

Dit het nodig geword om die POMK se Konstitusie te verfris om aan te pas by die huidige omstandighede

en eise van die klub. Die Komitee het ‘n oop werksessie op 28 Augustus vir hierdie doel gereël waar alle

lede insette kon lewer. Uitnodigings met dokumentasie is vooraf op 22 Aug. per epos aan lede gestuur, met

‘n SMS herinnering op 25 Augustus. Ongelukkig het geen lede opgedaag nie en het die Komitee die taak

afgehandel. Die gewysigde Konstitusie sal nou vir finale kommentaar aan alle lede beskikbaar gestel word

tot einde September, waarna dit regskundig versorg sal word vir goedkeuring tydens die Algemene

Jaarvergadering op 1 Oktober.

Please ensure that you’re SMS and e-mail addresses are in order. If you have any uncertainty and do not

receive the newsletter or notifications from the club, please contact Taco Kamstra to have this corrected.

Also check with our fellow members if they experience difficulties in this regard so that we can reach every

member that has been lost in cyberspace!.

Dankie vir die bywoning van ons klub-aande , veral gedurende die winter en laat weet asseblief vir die

komitee as daar iets is wat pla en waar ons kan verbeter!

LAZARUS GROUP CELEBRATES 60 YEARS AT CARS IN THE PARK

By Roger Houghton

The Lazarus Motor Group, the largest and arguably one of the best dealers in Tshwane, used its

sponsorship of the very popular Cars in the Park festival as part of the programme to celebrate the

company’s 60-year history, with fourth generation family members now in the business, which is highly

unusual in a successful company like Lazarus.

Reggie Lazarus founded the company in Bronkhorstspruit, with his son Gerry, in December 1957 and it was

aptly named R. Lazarus and Son. Initially it was

granted a Mercedes-Benz franchise but this

agency was relinquished in 1961 in favour of the

Ford franchise. Colin Lazarus, the current CEO of

the Lazarus Motor Group, joined his father in the

business in 1979 and moved it to Centurion in

1991. Now his sons Ross and Dean work alongside

their father as the fourth generation of the family.

Lazarus Motor Group, situated in Centurion

alongside the N1 highway, is nowadays a huge,

multi-franchise operation, but Ford was the brand

under the spotlight at Zwartkops Raceway on

August 6. The Ford brand is ideal for such an

event as it offers an excellent walk through the

various eras of global automotive development.

On this occasion, it started at the beginning with a replica of the Quadricycle on display. This was the first

car built by Henry Ford in 1893. The model on show was built by apprentices at the Ford factory in Port

Elizabeth in 1974.

The impressive, Lazarus-inspired Ford display at Zwartkops went through T, N, and B models to several of

the latest Mustangs. As usual there were scores of other Ford models on display around the track, from an

immaculate Prefect to Cortina’s, Anglia’s, Escorts, and lots of American Fords.

As usual the Pretoria Old Motor Club’s annual Cars in the Park brought together an amazing collection of

more than 2 000 cars from 100 clubs which were displayed around the track. This was the 38th CITP

organised by the POMC and again attracted many thousands of enthusiasts and showed that South Africa’s

love affair with the motor vehicle is alive and very well.

What was strange was the attraction of the various rat rods that use decrepit bits of junk welded or

chained onto rusty cars or bakkies. These creations drew crowds of onlookers while alongside them were


5

beautifully restored or customised cars with high

tech engines painted and chromed so they

gleamed in the sun but often attracted few

passers-by. Different strokes for different folks!

Once again there seemed to be a drop off in the

number of true classics like Lotus Cortina’s, Capri

Perana’s the like as well as pre-WW2 models and

with the fear that many of these models are

being shipped overseas where there is big money

and a strong demand waiting.

A special tribute must be paid to chief organiser

Frik Kraamwinkel and his team from the Pretoria

Old Motor Club who put on such a great event year after year. It is a mammoth task and runs smoothly.

There were Beetles by the dozen.

A rare Trax on the road. Unfortunately, this model has had its original Chrysler Valiant and engine and

Torqueflite transmission replaced by a Toyota power unit.


9

This rat rod bakkie drew plenty of attention.

A n immaculately restored Garelli Mosquito fitted with a DKW Hummel engine.

A beautiful pair of Suzuki triples, one a two- stroke and the other a four-stroke.


10

An immaculate, original 1959 Plymouth Belvedere

Somebody’s brainwave for personal transport with power from a small Suzuki engine.


11

Cars in the Park was once again the start of the Thunder Tour where an array of powerful cars of all makes

and sizes spend a week rumbling around South Africa.

An interesting display of Peugeot history


12

Imagine racing this Austin/Nash Metropolitan! No wonder it is named Noddy and has the nickname “Flying

Fridge”. It was built by Austin in England and sold by them and by Nash in the US. It had an Austin A40

powertrain and was built between 1954 and 1962.


13

The band used a rat rod truck as a load carrier and backdrop as they entertained the crowd.

This huge, right-hand drive Ford F150 Raptor pulled the office-on-wheels for the Thunder Tour.


14

There was an excellent turn-out of Minis, as usual.

Many Land Rovers were on display. This forward-control model – probably ex-SA Defence Force – makes an

outstanding game viewer.


15

An original 1970 Chrysler Valiant complete with Power Disc hubcaps which acknowledged the fitment (at

last) of front disc brakes to this popular model range. Valiant was the country’s top seller in 1966, 1967 and

1968.

A rare Charger coupe, based on the Australian Wide Body Valiant.


16

Two of the high-quality Millennium 7’s were on show, flanking a Lotus 7 replica. The author’s yellow car is

in the background, displaying its very neat Toyota Corolla RSi engine installation.

SAVVA Technical Tip 124 – Priming carburettors

Priming carbs after a car has been standing for some time has always been a problem. A solution often used is to fit an electric fuel pump to prime the system. However, on very early cars this can be difficult especially if they have a six volt system or an early carb with a needle and seat of dubious quality. A solution has been forwarded by Ian Otridge – it’s so simple. To quote Ian: “I got around the problem of priming the carb on my 1929 Chev by fitting a rubber bulb, the same as fitted to outboard motors. I fitted it between the tank and fuel pump. I now just squeeze it until it gets firm and the car starts at the first turn. It was cheap, simple to install and easy to hide, and works like a dream.”

Many thanks Ian.

For those of you who haven’t owned outboard motors - You have a petrol tank which stands somewhere in the boat and is connected to the engine with

a length of flexible rubber hose. To prime the system there is a “squeezy” rubber bulb in the line. One simply squeezes the bulb which sucks petrol from the tank and in turn pushes it into the carb. When the carb is full the bulb becomes firm. Basically, it is a rubber bulb with a non-return valve much the same as fitted to a mechanical fuel pump. It does the same job but without having to crank the engine.

Wiping away Moisture

For wiping away moisture that has condensed on your windshield or

side windows and made visibility difficult, a handy squeegee can be

improvised from an old windshield-wiper blade. To facilitate using

the blade, a jumbo-type, spring paper clip may be attached to its

back. D. B. J.
