All meetings are designated Club au-thorised runs. You may drive your histor-ic plated vehicles to and from the meet-ing.
President’s Report WOW what a weekend at the Motorfest, a fantastic result for our
first attempt.
I would like to thank the hard working Crew headed by Bill Cow-
per for their tireless hours & dedication put into this event. Many
accolades have been given from visiting entrants & spectators
alike.
We have achieved our goal in the result from the Canteen, Raf-
fle, entry & gate takings to be able to purchase a Defibrillator for
the grounds.
The Murray Run organised by Cheryl & Graham Benn was a
huge success with all parties & vehicles returning without inci-
dents. The weather was trifle cold making us appreciate the Graf-
ton climate.
This coming weekend 23rd September is in full swing, with a huge
entry of Swap Sites, Bob Gray & crew have all in place for a rec-
ord event.
The next major event coming up is our 2 Day Jacaranda Rally
(Entry form for this is in the Grille), have this entry in early to ena-
ble organisers to plan for catering.

The 2017 Murray Snowy Run is done & dusted. The
22 participants & 11 cars all behaved beautifully.
The tour included visits to many great car museums
such as: the Gosford Classic Car Museum, The
Chrysler Restorers Museum in Grenfell & the Na-
tional Holden Museum in Echuca. The gardens
were almost as good as the cars with visits to the
Hunter Valley Gardens, The Japanese Gardens in
Cowra & the National Aboretum in Canberra. The
natural beauty of the canola fields clad in the green
& gold of Australia were absolutely awesome!
Several great daytrips were organised with some of
the favourites being the tour of Iandra Castle in
Greenthorpe & the visit to Rocking Horse Restora-
tions in Murrami. Our evening spent at The Great
Aussie Beer Shed & Heritage Farm Museum in
Echuca was also fabulous, as was the delicious
roast dinner we enjoyed amongst the 14,000 beer
cans!
A highlight for everyone was the 3-hour dinner
cruise on board the heritage Paddlesteamer, the PS
Emmylou, along the Murray River in Echuca. The
Council in Echuca kindly allowed us to display our
cars in a cordoned off area at the old port while we
spent the morning sightseeing at the Holden Muse-
um & the Port of Echuca Discovery Centre. Our cars
generated considerable local interest & were much
photographed by the tourists. During the trip we
stayed in some great places; however, the Historic
Hydro Motor Inn in Leeton was the most impressive.
The murals in the bar & the meal in their restaurant
were splendid!
The scenery was varied & incredibly beautiful. We
stayed in cabins on the banks of the Murray River &
on the shores of Lake Hume. The majestic Hume
Weir was almost outclassed by Lake Eucumbene
encircled with snow. Our day tip to Adaminaby to
see the Snowy Scheme Museum was made even
more memorable by the excitement of a heavy
snowfall the preceding night. It was fun to see us
old fogies playing in the snow!
The Cooma Car Club hosted us for morning tea on
our last morning in Cooma & we were left gob-
smacked by their hospitality & their clubhouse! They
proudly showed us the photos of Peter Arnull, their
founding president.
Look out for more stories & photos from our trip in
next month’s newsletter.

Last year I purchased a dark blue EK Holden se-
dan. Here’s the story of “Nellie”, my pride and joy:
In 1962 my grandfather purchased this blue EK
special sedan from Bathurst Motors. It stayed
around the Perthville area (nr Bathurst) till the late
70’s. There was even rumours that my parents used
to borrow it to “take in the view” at McPhillamy Park,
Mt Panorama. My Grandfather had passed away
by then but my Nan (Nellie) looked after the old girl.
It had a few years in Young, then Tumut, where my
Nan passed away in the late 80’s. I had often won-
dered where this car had gotten to after that time. I
last saw it when my dad insisted I do some “3-on-
the-tree”practice before I went for my licence. So I
actually got to drive it as a 16yo.
So last year I decided to start searching. Tumut was
where I started, it’s last known home…. Here is
where I had my first bit of luck. Now like it, or hate it,
Facebook can be a great resource. I decided to
post an ad on the Tumut “Buy Swap n Sell” page.
Now these groups are full of little old ladies who
make everyone’s business their business – to put it
nicely. Thank goodness because I received many
replies. They all knew this car! Several knew my
Nan and aunt when they were alive, and they knew
who the EK was sold to: Doc Brown. Doc was a
regular sight driving in the blue EK. I received a re-
ply from his neighbour who was pleasantly woken
every morning to the sound of the EK being warmed
up – her alarm clock for years. Doc’s son also post-
ed a message saying his dad had broken his shoul-
der and took some time recuperating and couldn’t
handle the EK’s steering any more. So it was sold
to another local, Tim Malone. In another post, Tim’s
sister confirmed this was true and messaged me his
phone number.
Now to my second bit of luck: Tim had purchased a
few old Holdens over the years as a kind of retire-
ment nest egg. Now he had retired and was ready
to sell ! This was meant to be. The haggling was
minimal, but the final price was fair (well, he did
have me over an emotional barrel).
So we did the deal and I freighted the old girl up to
Grafton and dropped it off at my mechanic’s, Purnell
Performance. OK, now Rod had compiled a long list
of things to do, but the good news was: minimal rust
(no bog), straight frame and original motor going
well, gearbox, steering, diff all good. well I couldn’t
be happier. I now have Grandfather’s car back in
the family and its now on club plates and basically
working well.
A happy ending…beginning!

Online Exclusive—July 15, 2017 issue Sheehan-Online by Michael Sheehan (From a US Website) Our story begins in 2003 when the Australian government issued a zero-tolerance ban on any and all asbestos products, aimed mainly at imported Chinese drywall, a problem America also faced at the time. Fast forward to March 6, 2017 when, without warning to Shipping and Customs agents, let alone to owners, the Australian Border Force (ABF) be-gan randomly testing all imported collector cars for asbestos, without any industry consultation, procedures or practices in place. One of our clients had two cars already en-route to Austral-ia and so had no choice but to comply. One was a 1966 Shelby Mustang 350 GT and the second a stock 1966 Mustang donor-car, found togeth-er as “barn finds” and imported into Australia for restoration.
Inspectors were picked from an ABF approved list of asbestos assessors, none of whom had collector car experience since this was an all-new process. An ABF officer and a representa-tive of the customs brokers also had to be in attendance while the owner/importer was re-quired to provide two mechanics, tools, a floor jack, jack stands, safety clothing and masks. All five charged by the hour, with the work being done at the customs wharf.
The inspection of the Mustangs took a full 8-hour day times five people. The front brake pads, rear brake shoes, exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe gaskets from both cars plus the add-on A/C compressor from the stock Mustang were all taken for inspection. Some of the seal-er from inside the wheel wells, around the fire-wall and the caulking around the windshield were also removed for testing. Additionally, samples were cut from the headliner material, the door frame inner padding, the hood scoop, the brake air ducts, the windshield washer bag and sample sections were cut from the wiring loom. As the 350 GT was pushed onto a hoist the ribbed aluminium oil pan fins were dam-aged. The pleas of both mechanics to cease the destructive sample-taking were ignored by the inspector, the customs agent and the ABF of-ficer. As the day wound down the inspector rec-ommended the removal of the engine and
transmission for disassembly and removal of the front fenders and doors for further examina-tion. Because of that day’s interpretation of the regulations, the owner was not allowed to be at the inspection.
During & after the destructive first inspection, endless e-mails and calls between the customs broker and the ABF, the owner was able to get both mustangs taken to a well-respected exotic car sales and service centre in Sydney. ABF required both a removal expert and an assessor to supervise the work, a hygienist to test the air for asbestos (how could I make this up) and two mechanics in space suits, all to remove a clutch. The caulking around the windshield, fire-wall and inner wheel wells was also removed but reason prevailed and so the engines were not disassembled. Both cars were then re-leased to the owner.
Total time was two months. Costs including the two removal experts, two assessors, two me-chanics, (twice) the hygienist, plus the asbestos lab analyses and bulk sample report was ap-proximately $15,000, not including the damage and cost to replace the seized parts on both cars plus the possibility of fines for non-compliance. Meanwhile, in Perth, on the other side of Australia, an enthusiast with a DKW ob-session imported a rare 1953 DKW F89, a two cylinder, 23 hp, 684 cc post-war Germany econ-omy-car built from 195054 and based on a pre-war design. Although 60,000 DKW F89s were built, most were scrapped as the German econ-omy recovered and much better cars came to market. DKW was acquired by Mercedes in 1957, sold to Volkswagen-Audi in 1964 and DKW ceased to exist.
The DKW in question was sold new into Portu-gal, was complete, relatively rust free and at
$7,000 Aus ($5,400 USD) was a very affordable and unique collector car. As the third collector
car to be inspected and the first in the Perth ar-ea, the owner was lucky. The asbestos inspec-
tor was both reasonable and horrified by the tale of the two Mustangs imported into Sydney, which had quickly gone through the collector
car community. The initial inspection found as-bestos in the rear brakes, the head and mani-

The car was immediately impounded and the real problems began. The owner requested that he and a mechanic remove the offending material, but this was re-jected by the ABF as they were not “authorized” to enter the “secure” dockside area. ABF insisted on a professional asbestos remover, but none had vintage car experience. The owner next asked to attend with the chosen asbestos remov-er but was again denied access to his car. A week later ABF agreed to the owner’s request to have his mechanic remove the asbestos, but af-ter completing the paperwork, permits and an inspection time, ABF decided that removing the parts in the storage depot might be unsafe and the permit was cancelled. ABF first declined and then approved transport to Classic Gasoline, a collector car service centre in Perth. ABF then again changed their mind and advised the car could only be moved to a certi-fied asbestos removal centre. After realizing there was no certified asbestos removal centre that could do the work, ABF relented and permit-ted the car to be moved to Classic Gasoline. Pa-perwork recommenced, but at the last-minute Quarantine intervened, advising that the DKW could only be moved after it had been spray cleaned, but that it could only be spray cleaned after the asbestos was removed. As the owner wrote, “Catch 22 meets Franz Kafka”. Everyone agreed to go back to plan “A”, a remov-al time was again booked only to have someone at ABF again demand the work be done by an asbestos specialist. After yet more calls, e-mails and negotiations it was finally agreed that ABF, the original inspector, two mechanics from Clas-sic Gasoline and the owner would inspect the car, agree to the work to be done and the owner and mechanics would then be allowed to com-plete the work at dockside. Thanks to the DKW’s small engine, it was lifted out without a hoist for disassembly. After even more paperwork, ABF certified the removed parts and arranged their seizure and destruction. The additional storage fees were $3,000, the mechanics charged $1,500 and the shipping agents were another $1,500 plus the cost of finding and replacing the seized parts, so almost equal to the original $7,000 pur-chase price. The local ABF did not issue any fines for the non-compliant parts. The good news is that most new cars, world-wide, were asbestos free by 1999, but the bad news is that virtually all cars built before 1999 have asbestos-based components. All imported cars must obtain an asbestos test for their vehi-
cles BEFORE they are shipped to Australia, but few countries have certified collector car asbes-tos inspectors. If asbestos is identified, it must be removed before the vehicle is shipped and own-ers must confirm the vehicle is asbestos free. The ABF doesn’t have the time, space and man-power to inspect every car, but no-one should take the risk of being caught up in the costs and damage of a random inspection, the possible sei-zure and destruction of the car plus the reality of fines because the seized parts were not zero as-bestos compliant. The Australian Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association is lobbying the ABF to standardize a consistent inspection regime, but the extra red tape, inspection costs and uncertainty have slowed imports to a crawl. Additionally, the new rules apply to imports AND exports, which will be another yet-to-be-defined learning curve! If the asbestos-related import/export restrictions were not enough, the Australian government is also ramping efforts to keep what are described as “culturally significant automobiles” in Australia and is considering the seizure of any vehicle deemed to have been “illegally” exported since 1987. Based on the UNESCO convention in traf-ficking of illicit cultural property, the proposed leg-islation would include any vehicle designed by an Australian, built in Australia, altered in Australia, or strongly associated with an Australian. To quote from the proposed legislation, “the best way of promoting the regime would be a couple of high profile actions for the seizure and return of forfeit cultural material”. If you have a car with a significant Australia history, be nervous. All of this should be a warning of future potential problems for the collector car community. If there’s a way to go overboard on regulations, the government, any government, seems to find a way to make life overtly complicated. While Aus-tralia is currently the epicentre of Monty-Pythonesque import (and export) restrictions, others will follow. China, for instance, simply for-bids the import of classic cars, Norway wants to eliminate ALL (new and used) gas and diesel-powered cars by 2025, while India and Germany want to eliminate all new gas and diesel cars by 2030 and France by 2040. Our children will live in a very different world.
