President’s CommentsWhat a month we have had! Firstly, the Shannon’s SydneyClassic on 13th August, when we had 12 cars on show. Unfor-tunately, a couple of cars could not attend at the last minute.And two weeks later, the All British Day at The Kings School,when we had 31 cars on display, plus two motor bikes and onepush bike. A wonderful achievement. Our thanks go to each ofour members who worked tirelessly to make our display such asuccess.There was an Oasis Run early in July, to Wentworth Falls Lakeand thence to Wentworth Falls Pie Shop. Only a small numberwere able to attend, but we very much enjoyed ourselves.One bit of welcome news was that Gail Scott has volunteered totake over the Shopkeeper’s role. Many thanks, Gail and Peter.I am sure that the Committee will wholeheartedly endorse thisat the September meeting.Our next outing, on the first Tuesday of September, is anotherOasis Run, which will be the Postman’s Run along the Hawkes-bury River from Brooklyn.The following activity is a major one, to commemorate the fifti-eth anniversary of the production of the Buick V8 engine byRover. This engine was first introduced in the P5B and used inthe P6, SD1 and both Land Rover and Range Rover until fairlyrecently. It has also been used, sometimes modified, in a num-ber of other marques. This activity will be held on 30th Sep-tember and 1st October at Australian Motorlife Museum. Muchmore can be found in Rovernet, so please do try and join us. Ibelieve that this event is of particular significance as our latePresident Nick Munting spent a lot of effort to make it happen.Which brings me to a more serious subject. After Nick’s sadpassing, I stood in to take his place as President, so that wewould not become a club without a formal leader. AlthoughRichard Dalziel temporarily took over in his role as Vice Presi-dent, it was quite clear that someone had to take up the slack.But I do not wish to continue for any more than one year. Fur-thermore, as I will be turning eighty at the end of this year, Ithink that the Club does not deserve to have an octogenarian asPresident. So, I am making the challenge for somebody to stepup and make an offer sooner rather than later to take on this rolefrom the next AGM. Such an offer would be very welcome. Ialso understand that at least one more of the committee
positions will become vacantat the end of this Club year.You will hear more aboutthis subject in the not toodistant future.I hope that all of you
continue to enjoy whateveryou do as members of theRover Owners’ Club.

We all know what a Rover P6 looks like. It looks like this
We all know what a Rover P5 looks like. It looks like this.
We all know what a Rover P4 look like. It looks like this.
We all know what a Rover P3 looks like. It looks like this.
But now the story gets muddy. Common usage says that a Rover P2 looks like a P3 but is older and is easily distin-guished by looking at the front axle. A P2 has a beam axle while a P3 has independent front suspension.
But hang on a minute!
James Taylor, the well known authority, in his book The Rover 1934 to 1977 , on page 7 says that the P designationwas applied to cars built after World War 2 and that the P2 was a re-engined P1 and it never went into production. Sodid the P2 exist or not? Given that none of us were around in Pre WW 2 Great Britain, how can we cast any more lighton this dark area?But for the purpose of this exercise we will go with the (possibly incorrect) terminology that a P1 was a car introducedin 1933 by Spencer Wilks and anything that looks like a P3 but has a beam front axle, is a P2.There is also an equally unknown, but much faster, P1. In addition there is a range of cars called P1 to P (something)that are MUCH more expensive.Given the likely state of Australian roads in 1933, I suspect the Rover P1 (if it existed) would not have been a wildlysuccessful car here. Likewise the other much faster P1, with its very limited endurance was never going to be a successhere. The third range of P (something), are cars most of us can only dream about.But lets for fun, just compare the various P’s. The next pages of Freewheeling contains information gleaned from thatever reliable source, the internet, and Jim Paling in London. If any readers have more information on any of these , theymay like to send it to Freewheeling for possible publication

The Tale of three P1’s (Part 2)
W.E.W. "Teddy" Petter, was a keen early proponent ofBritain's need to develop a supersonic fighter aircraft.
Petter initiated a design proposal with F. W."Freddie"Page and Ray Creasey. Their proposal incorporated thestacked engine configuration and a high-mounted tail-plane but was designed for Mach 1.5. In January 1949the project was designated P.1 by English Electric. TheMoS granted approval for English Electric to start thedetailed design, develop wind tunnel models and build afull-size mockup. The design developed during 1948 &evolved further during 1949. To achieve Mach 2 thewing sweep was increased to 60° with the aileronsmoved to the wingtips. In 1949, the Ministry of Supplyhad issued Specification F23/49, to include fighter-levelmanoeuvring. In 1950, English Electric received a con-tract for two flying airframes, as well as one static air-frame, designated P.1.
From 1953 onwards, the first three prototype aircraftwere hand-built at Salmesbury. These aircraft had beenassigned the aircraft serials WG760, WG763, andWG765. In May 1954, WG760 and its support equipmentwere moved to RAF Boscombe Down for pre-flightground taxi trials; in August 1954, WG760, piloted byRoland Beamont, flew for the first time from BoscombeDown. One week later, WG760 officially achieved su-personic flight for the first time, having exceeded thespeed of sound during its third flight. While WG760 hadproven the P.1 design to be viable, it was limited toMach 1.51 (1,850 km/h) due to directional stability lim-its. On 9 June 1952, it had been decided that there wouldbe a second phase of prototypes built to develop the air-craft towards achieving Mach 2.0 (2,450 km/h); thesewere designated P.1B while the initial three prototypeswere retroactively reclassified as P.1A. The P.1B fea-tured extensive alterations to the forward fuselage andrefinement to the inlet cone that regulated airflow intothe engine inlet. On 25 November 1958, the P.1B be-came the first British aircraft to fly at Mach 2. Due tothe limited internal space of the fuselage the fuel capaci-ty was relatively small, giving the prototypes an ex-tremely limited endurance, and the narrow tyres housedin the thin wings would rapidly wear out. Outwardly, theprototypes looked very much like the production series,but they were distinguished by the rounded-triangularintakes, short fins and lack of operational equipment.

The new Rover 12, launched at the end of August 1933was part of the new range introduced by the Wilks broth-ers. It had a new 1496 cc, four-cylinder engine producing53 bhp. The chassis was also new but based on the oneseen on the 1933 Speed Pilot and was "underslung" goingunder the rear axle. The four-speed transmission featureda freewheel mechanism. The suspension was conventionalwith rigid axles and half elliptic leaf springs all round.The early cars had a 112 in (2,845 mm) wheelbase butthis was stretched by 3 in (76 mm) for 1935 with the extraspace giving the rear passengers more leg room. A topspeed of 70 mph and economy of 24 mpg was claimed incontemporary advertisements.
The bodies were traditionally built with steel panels fittedto a wooden frame. A six light Saloon (£278), four lightSports Saloon with small external boot (£298) and four-seat tourer (£288) bodies were available. 5775 of this ver-sion were made. This car became known to enthusiasts asthe P1

I recently took the opportunity to visit the rather ‘upmarket’ premises of a London auction house in the area historicallyknown as Mayfair to see a small collection of cars bearing the model designation P1 / 2 / 3 / 4, etc. However, if I men-tion that the P1 was new to Fred Astaire, the P2 was originally ordered by Captain Sir Malcolm Campbell, that the P3was owned and used for several years by Field Marshall Sir Bernard Montgomery, and that the P4 was one of the AgaKhan’s favourite motor cars, you will have started to think that these might not be actually Rovers. Add that the P5 wasowned by John Lennon and the P6 is still in use by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II then it will be clear that we are talk-ing about Rolls Royce motor cars.
The event, titled ‘The Great Eight Phantoms’ was held over four days in July by Bonham’s to introduce the new RollsPhantom 8, and someone had the idea of displaying one each of the previous Phantom models, 1 to 7. This must havebeen quite a logistical challenge as some of the cars chosen had to be brought in from Los Angeles, Canada, South Afri-ca, and Romania, as well as from around the U.K. The cars were very well displayed, each with an appropriate back-ground photo-board. Fred’s Phantom 1 had blow-ups of crowds outside New York theatres in the star’s hey-day,and a display case containing his top hat, white gloves and cane. Malcolm Campbell’s Phantom 2 was framed by pic-tures of his Bluebird record cars. Monty’s P3 had displayed with it the old General’s desk with phone, radio, lamp andmilitary documents just as if removed from his study during the war years, whilst the Aga Khan’s Phantom 4 used pic-tures from the man’s great passion - horse racing, with racetracks in the ‘50s featured, plus potted palms.
The Tale of three P1’s (Part 3) A Morning in Mayfair .By Jim Paling in London
P1. Fred Astaire’s car. 1927 Phantom IFred and his sister Adele first hit the big time on Broad-
way with the musical song and dance show ‘Lady BeGood’. Noel Coward suggested that they should bring theshow to London, which they did. They soon became thetoast of fashionable society, and were given the Royal sealof approval by Albert, later to become King George VI.Back in New York they were offered $5,000 extra a weekto perform after hours at the Trocadero nightclub in N.Y.Fred said he would use the money to buy a new Rolls-Royce. He already owned a 20hp car of that make. TheAstaire’s next show, ‘Funny Face’ came to London’s WestEnd in 1928, when Fred confirmed his order for this Phan-tom, a right hand drive ‘Single Cabriolet Town Car’ withcoachwork by Hooper in Brewster Green with black wingsand black leather roof. When Fred left the U.K. for Broad-way, the Phantom went with him. He commissioned Inskipof N.Y. to update the car with a finishing touch of contemporary elegance. Features such as the scalloped wood doorfillets, (repeated on the dashboard), stylised door handles, and finned, arrowed rear turn indicators are eloquent remind-ers of the high days of Art Deco. The car also carries a Louis Vuitton rear trunk, has a hidden golf club compartment,and other exclusive touches. Fred kept the car until 1950, and although he had other Rolls-Royces, it is doubtful if heever had another so elegant and stylish as this Phantom, which normally resides in the Petersen Automobile Museum inLos Angeles.
P2 Sir Malcolm Campbell’s Car. 1933 Phantom 2This splendid example of the Phantom 2 was delivered in March 1933 to Captain Sir Malcolm Campbellwho was at the time already well known around the world for his success in motor racing, and for his speedrecord attempts.The short wheelbase Continental Phantom 2 was introduced in 1930 as a grand touring version of the Phan-tom 2, launched the previous year. It’s new, low slung frame, with the radiator set well back, enabledcoachbuilders to streamline the car, in the manner of the day. The Continental could reach 95 mph, modest byBluebird standards, but remarkable for a car weighing two and a half tons. Coachbuilders Barker & Co. madea number of bespoke modifications, including a fire extinguisher, wireless set, spotlight, radio, and an exhaustpipe nine inches longer than standard, presumably to give the car a more ‘sporty ‘ note.Also fitted were a Bosch horn, a siren, and a Klaxon. Clearly the fastest man on earth thought it advisable tolet people know he was coming!Needless to say, he had the car painted light blue with a darker blue interior, and a black roof. The pearlescentglow of the bodywork was apparently achieved with the use of ground-up herring scales mixed into the paint.Sir Malcolm’s car has had several owners since the 1930s, and has undergone a complete restoration in recentyears.

P3 Monty’s Car. 1936 Phantom 3Alan Samuel Butler, chairman of the DeHavilland aircraft
company, ordered this car in late 1936. It had a limousinebody like no other. Wind tunnel tests had shown that a for-ward-raked vee windscreen, i.e. one in which the top of thescreen jutted forward, had certain advantages over the nor-mal design. It was believed such a screen reduced windresistance by around 15%, eliminated dazzle at night, andimproved visibility in rain. The Miles aircraft company hadsome of their fast monoplanes with just this type of screen,and as some of these aircraft were seen by Butler at hiscompany’s aerodrome at Hatfield when the 1935 KingsCup air race both started and ended there- indeed the racewas won by an aircraft so fitted,-a Miles Falcon Six-it ispossible that he got the idea at this time.This Phantom 3 has a swept tail body, possibly designed byGeoffrey DeHavilland himself, spats enclosing the rearwheels, each having a lightning flash in chrome which re-peat at the front door edges, aircraft type aneroid barometeron the well filled dash board, and the 7.3 litre V12 ohv en-gine can propel the car at over 90 mph. The H.J.Mullinerbody added £970 to the chassis price of £1480.As a great patriot, Butler offered the car to the War Officein 1940, on three conditions. That the car should not goabroad, that it should only be driven by a Rolls-Roycetrained driver, and that it should be maintained and servicedby Rolls-Royce.The War Office decided that the car should be the officialcar of the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, and accord-ingly, it was allocated first to General Sir William Ironside,then soon after to General Sir Alan Brooke, in whose tenureit carried many famous passengers, including H.M. KingGeorge VI, Winston Churchill, the Prime Ministers of Aus-tralia, Canada, and New Zealand, and of course, GeneralEisenhower. There is a tale that when the car was beingdriven through London during the war, it was stopped for exceeding the speed limit. As the young police officer wasadmonishing the driver, General Eisenhower leaned forward from the rear compartment and told the constable that-‘Wars are not won by sticking to speed limits!When Brooke, by then Viscount Alanbrooke, retired in 1946, the car was offered back to Alan Butler, who said that asthe car now had some 300,000 miles on the clock, he had no further use for it. He requested the War Office make him areasonable offer for the car, which he duly accepted.The Phantom was now assigned to Field Marshall Montgomery, who was the new Chief of the Imperial General Staff.He kept it as his staff car, and it was frequently used for trips into Europe connected with the establishment of NATO.Monty liked the car so much he bought it when he retired in 1958, for £300 which was quite a good deal for him, as ithad just had a full mechanical overhaul at a cost of £450, which bought the total amount spent on it in the last two and ahalf years to £1650!
Monty’s long term chauffeur died in 1962 and was not replaced, so Monty sold the Phantom in 1963 and drove himselfin his Daimler Conquest Century, ‘ slowly-and in the middle of the road’The Rolls was offered for sale by a London dealer for £2,000, something like three or four times the amount similar carswere selling for.It remained unsold for a long time before finding a buyer on the other side of the Atlantic, George Beaumont, who onlykept it for one year before selling it on. It then had a number of owners including James Leake, of the auction company,who had a large collection of Rolls-Royce cars in his museum in Oklahoma, where the Phantom was displayed for tenyears.The car was eventually returned to Europe in 2010 after being bought through Gooding &Co. by the present owners,Catherine and Herbert Robet.The Phantom was in need of some attention and was entrusted to the highly regarded Rolls-Royce specialists, P&AWood, of Great Easton, Essex, for road test, and evaluation.It was found that the car needed considerable work, most particularly to the ash frame of the body. Whole sections need-ed replacement, and some of the metal body panels required re-making. The owners at this point decided the car war-ranted a full concours grade restoration, always with the wish to preserve as much as possible of the car’s originali-ty. The interior was in a better state of preservation, and was sympathetically restored. The fine interior wood-work, fascias and cappings, were adorned with new silver inlays. Finally the car was carefully repainted to look just as ithad back in 1936, when Alan Butler first took delivery of it.

P4 The Aga Khan’s Car. 1952 Phantom4
Only eighteen P4s were made, one was a test modeland was never sold, the remaining seventeen were allbespoke models intended only for heads of state andRoyalty. Every one survives. Our own Royal Familyhad four of these, one is still in the Fleet, and is nowsaid to be a favourite of Prince Charles. The Phantom4 used a straight eight engine of 5.7, later 6.5 litrescapacity. The Aga Khan managed to combine his reli-gious duties with a great passion for horse racing, heowned five Derby winners and was named ChampionOwner no fewer than thirteen times This car is theonly one to have been constructed with a Sedanca deVille body, in this case, by Hooper. It has numerousbespoke additions, many engraved with the Aga’sRoyal crest.
P5 John Lennon’s car. 1965 Phantom 5
This car was delivered new to John Lennon on 3rd June, 1965. Originally Valentine Black, Lennon had the car custom-ised with refridgerator, television, record player, telephone, and the rear seat replaced with a double bed. Fortunatelyblack glass windows were also fitted to the rear section. In April 1967 he had it repainted in time for the release of TheBeatles new album- ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ Often referred to as psychedelic, the paint scheme is actu-ally ’Floral Romany Scroll’ as found on narrow boats (a type of canal boat used for cargo carrying) and traditional gyp-sy caravans. The car was donated by billionaire Jim Pattison to the Royal British Columbia Museum, Canada
P6 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 1977 Phantom 6
In 1977, to mark the Silver Jubilee of our Queen, she was presented with this car which was to serve as her State Lim-ousine until 1992. Thecar was built with anumber of special fea-tures for the role it wasto perform. As part ofthe Royal Fleet, it isfinished in Royal Clar-et livery, and does notrequire a number plate.When the Queen wasaboard, the Spirit ofEcstasy was replacedwith the Royal Mascot,a fitment over thewindscreen carried herpersonal coat of arms,and the Royal Flag.The raised roofline ac-commodates an ex-panse of toughenedglass to enable theQueen to both see andbe seen when conduct-ing Royal duties.

P7 2003 Phantom 7
This car is the actual first to be produced at the new Good-wood facility following the brand name being acquired byB.M.W. After four years of development, the car was present-ed to its new owner on January 1st 2003. This marked the offi-cial opening of the new plant. The car as seen now, showspractically no sign of its fourteen years of constant use, inwhich time it has covered some 30,000 miles, including anepic 4,500 mile jaunt across Australia from Perth to Sydney.
P8. The New Phantom Eight
The launch of this vehicle is what the event was all about.The Phantom Eight is said to be ‘The most luxurious, tech-nically advanced, and intelligent Rolls-Royce ever made’ Itis built on an all-aluminium spaceframe chassis, and is pow-ered by a new 6.75 litre twin turbo V12 engine. This car is atechno-freak’s delight, having such features as doors which-‘at the touch of a sensor on the handle, will whisper closedof their own accord ’ It is the first RR on which the Panthe-on grill is incorporated into the surrounding bodywork. Notevery potential buyer may be keen on that feature. At thisshow, the company intention was to bring two of these newmodels for display, but one had been purchased shortly be-fore opening, so the £300,000- plus purchase price is notlikely to be a problem to potential buyers, it seems!
Reflecting on all the cars on show, I had gone particularly to see the Fred Astaire Phantom I and it is superb, with all thegreat elegance of the 1920’s grand automobile. I was surprised though, at how the Phantom III grew on me when seen‘in the metal’ The bizarre windscreen gets to look less odd when all the car’s other so-called ‘aeronautical styling’ istaken into account, and the wonderful ‘gentleman’s club’ interior makes one wish that you might be just about to climbin to set off on a long journey to somewhere exotic.

One of the problems with owning old cars is that parts break and replacements cannot be sourced. That is areal problem when the part is essential, and no alternative is possible.
Rover fitted early P4s with the Lucas DVX6A distributor. That model has a bakelite “arch” screwed to thebaseplate. A bolt goes through the arch and clamps against the arch the two sides of the points, the lead fromthe condenser, and the LT lead. (Photo 1)
On one of my P4s the arch had developed a crack. On the other, the arch had actually split in two. Didn’t evenlast for seventy years - no wonder Lucas has such a terrible reputation! If these arches are available as an af-termarket product, they are not widely advertised.
So, what to do – how to fabricate a replacement? I turned to a technique known as “Three Dimensional print-ing”, also known as “3D printing”. In a computer ink-jet printer each letter is printed as a set of small dots.The hole in the middle of an “o” or of a “d” is created by avoiding printing any ink on that part of the paper.
3D printing is comparable, but instead of printing in two dimensions, the printer prints in three dimensions. Inthe same way that an “o” has no ink in its centre, a 3D object can be printed with a screw-hole simply by notprinting anything in the place where the screw-hole has to be located. The “ink” used in a 3D printer is knownas “filament”. This is not conventional ink, but instead is a type of plastic. There are various types of fila-ment. The best – in terms of strength, heat-resistance and absence of electrical conductivity – is nylon. Itcosts about twice the price of cheap filament but is the only type to consider for any serious work.
Producing a 3D printed item is a two stage process. The first stage is to produce a computer model of theitem. This can be carried out either by drawing it using a Computer Aided Design (CAD) package, or by put-ting the item into a 3D scanner, which scans in a 3D image in the same way the scanning function on a com-puter printer will scan in a page of text or pictures. Scanning sounds like it should be the cheaper option. Thedrawback is that the scanner will pick up every imperfection. The operator needs to then manually edit thecomputer model to “clean it up”. For simple shapes – like the distributor arch – an experienced operator mayfind it easier to measure the item and manually draw up the model in CAD. That is the approach that was fol-lowed in this case.
The second stage is feeding the computer model into the printer, loading the printer with the appropriate fila-ment, then going for a cup of coffee while it prints off the items.
A word of caution – prices can vary substantially. The companies involved in industrial scale work will not beinterested in small scale projects, and will charge accordingly. I chose half a dozen possible suppliers and sentthem a description of what I wanted to have made, accompanied by photos 2 and 3. The quotes I receivedwere between $100 and $500. I chose a Melbourne company, ClickNprint (www.clicknprint3D.com.au)They quoted me “somewhere between $100 and $150 to produce a model, print half a dozen new arches innylon, and send them back by courier” The variable component is the time taken to draw up the model inCAD or to scan it.
I sent the cracked arch to ClickNprint. (In the event, it snapped while being measured, so they ran off an extracopy for me to replace the broken original). The cost was $30 to draw up the arch in CAD, $10 for each of thesix new arches (plus a free seventh arch) and $10 for postage ie $100 all up. Elapsed time was about a week.The new arches are a perfect fit. ClickNprint sent me their CAD file via email, so if I want to run off more inthe future all I need to do is send the file to whoever is going to do the printing.
This technique is applicable to many other small Bakelite components that cannot be obtained these days.(Think about the Bakelite knobs on the door handles of pre-1951 P4s, for example). I suspect that the olderthe car, the more rare the parts and potentially the more useful this approach will be.

was not expecting really bad weather and that the All British Day 2017 was all set to go. Never-the -less I did won-der what I would do.
But Sunday dawned just perfect. Certainly not the sort of weather that one associates with the UK. So off we went.This year we got all the way there in the 1936 Rover. Last year we only made it to Bankstown before the water pumpdecided it had had enough and quit. Anyway, we made it all the way to Kings School in perfect weather and with thecar running as best it could.
(thinks)Yesterday we drove back from Queanbeyan in our Subaru. Its quiet ,speedy and effortless progress is a world away ĨƌŽŵ�ƚŚĞ�ϴϬ�LJĞĂƌ�ŽůĚ�ZŽǀ Ğƌ͘��/�ǁ ŽŶĚĞƌ�ǁ ŚĂƚ�ĐĂƌƐ�ǁ ŝůů�ďĞ�ůŝŬĞ�ŝŶ�ϴϬ�LJĞĂƌƐ�ƟŵĞ͘��/�ǁ ŝůů�ĐĞƌƚĂŝŶůLJ�ŶŽƚ�ďĞ�ŚĞƌĞ�ƚŽ�ƐĂŵƉůĞ�ƚŚĞŵ�ƐŽ�/͛ůů�ŚĂǀ Ğ�ƚŽ�ƌĞůLJ�ŽŶ�ƐŽŵĞ�ŽƚŚĞƌ�ĨŽƌŵ�ŽĨ�ŝŶĨŽƌŵĂƟŽŶ͘
Anyway; back to the present. Acres of cars. Just where are they all kept? Some people had driven from the far reachesof the state to get there. Did they start yesterday? This year was no different . Just so many cars to see and trade stallsto looks at.
One thing struck me however. The greatest number of “things” at the All British Day was people, After that came carsand then after that came dogs. Big dogs, small dogs. Very well coiffured dogs. But they were all well behaved dogs.Maybe I was at a dog show and all their owners came in old British cars.
On arrival we were very efficiently marshalled into place by Richard Dalziel. After driving from Peakhurst in the 1936Rover I needed a strong cup of tea to settle the nerves. Nerves back under control we set off to look at what everybodyelse had come in..
A list of those attending , not all in Rovers I might add, is elsewhere in this issue of Freewheeling. Not all ROC mem-bers attended in a Rover, but what the heck!, just so long as they enjoyed the day; that’s the main thing. Just 364 daysto go to the next All British Day. If you have not been, put it in you 2018 diary now.
Because we had another family commitment we had to leave about 14:00 to head back home. Even then there was quitea queue getting back out onto Pennant Hills Road and Parramatta Road was a real mess. What a hide those people hadcoming out on a Sunday. Why weren’t they home mowing the lawn or something?
Anyway we got back home and put the car away into the garage just as the storm clouds were gathering in the south.Now it is raining so the weather forecaster was correct. It did rain lightly on Sunday but by then all the car owners werehome with their cars safely tucked into bed. I now have 365 days to see if I can improved the steering a bit. The 1936Rover wanders about all over the road. But when I am 80 years old, I expect I’ll probably wander about a bit too somaybe that just all come with age. I’ll let you know in a few years provided I can still see the keyboard on the comput-er.
Without a doubt, the prize for the day goes to all the volunteers who must have been there before sun-up to direct traffickeep things running smoothly and provide a friendly greeting to everyone. True heroes of the day to be sure.

When you run out of things to do on yourcar, take some time to inspect the conditionof your box trailer. I always thought thatgreasing the wheel bearings was the onlymaintenance that my trailer required. NowI know that carrying heavy loads, even ifthe total distance is not great, can lead tomajor wear.
Continued next page
I was in Caringbah on business, the Camry towing my box trailer. The trailer is about 55 years old. I bought it from mybrother many years ago. It has been garaged for much of its life and, though it has done some heavy work over theyears, I would not say that it has had a hard life. Severe cracking had occurred in both mudguards. There was some rustin the tail gate and the floor. I thought that it was time that I tidied it up a bit.
Some of the exploits of this trailer include
· picking up a 1926 Rover 16/50 with Alan Tester and bringing it back from Trundle
· taking the hood bows, lights and luggage to Adelaide when my veteran Rover entered the Bay to Birdwood in1992. We came back via Broken Hill
· carrying half-ton loads of sand for my various building projects
· taking various engines, gearboxes, diffs and body parts to Club spares
· moving large items of furniture for my daughter
· bringing home loads of second-hand bricks for building projects
· bringing home my winnings from the Flynn auction in Queanbeyan.
I slept in it at Bent's Basin one night and nearly froze.
Many years ago, I had a vinyl canopy made so that things that I carried would be protected from the weather. The firmin Caringbah did an excellent job and the canopy is still in good shape. While I was passing, I thought that I would geta quote on getting the mudguards repaired. The young mechanic took one look at the trailer and shook it. He said,“Don't bother fixing the mudguards before you rebuild the suspension”. I was astonished to see that the suspensionbushes had all but disappeared. The springs were flopping about, allowing contact with the mudguards, thus causingthe cracking.
Cracks in mudguard Broken chassis

I dismantled one side and took measurements. The shackle pins were badly worn and the hangers had oval holes. Theseoccurred because the pins were turning in the holes. Those who have experienced the joy of removing a rear spring froma P4 Rover will know that the shackle pins are threaded, thus preventing such wear.
Worn pins, bushes and hangers New pins and bushes
After a bit of thought and some Net searching, I decided to buy 14mm pins (bolts), the increase in diameter allowing meto drill out the ovality in the holes in the hangers. I then had to find bushes with 14mm ID and 7/8” OD. I called in toour local Bursons. After some checking, the guy at the counter had found what I needed for $255.I had driven past Sales Trailers in Barry Avenue, Mortdale on the way to buying my new bolts. In picking their brains, Iwas able to get the required bushes, in nylon, for $15. With $20 worth of nuts and bolts, the job cost a total of $35.Fitting proved not too difficult. I noticed that one of the braces for the floor had come away at one end. I welded thatback into position and put a spot of weld on each bolt to stop it from turning. My welding of the mudguards was not sosuccessful so I had them renewed by the firm in Caringbah for a few hundred dollars. Now for paint.
