Northern Branch Recent Events '12

 

Meguiars NZ Classic Car Fun Run: Sat 11th Feb 2012
Started off a bit damp in the morning, with the top down, but fined up and stayed sunny at St.Heliers.
They said there were about 240 cars meeting at the destination in St.Heliers and they were concerned
about how they were going to fit them all on the Green.  But they did. 
 So many different types of cars - made an eye catching display and many people enjoyed
wandering around looking and talking to owners for a couple of hours over lunch time. 
Only one Jowett there though
One of the organisers said it was nice to see me with my car there again this year.
 

Classic Car Weekend InterMarque Concours
Ellerslie12th February 2012

This year we had the theme “The Power of the Marque”.

 We had a display using a sample of Jowett advertisements to bring out our message.

 On display was Rod and Bobbie Rugg’s Jowett 8 which was the main drawcard for the day.

The Club Javelin, was proudly on show. (The shed guys certainly did a good job restoring her.)

We also had John and Joan Wolf’s and Ken Brownlie’s Bradford Vans.

Bunty Condon’s Jupiter looking great.

All in all it was a good day. Although the gate numbers were down, we still had a steady day

with many, many taking a good look and a trip down memory lane

 
   

Nth Shore Vintage Car Club Run: Sun 19 Feb 2012

Last Sunday (19th) the NSVCC invited the JCC to join them on their afternoon run.
It was a warm sunny day with a visit to Peter and Pauline Sharp's very interesting property north of Albany.
Peter has a few classic American cars. Pauline has the "Owl Cove."  An overwhelmingly large 
collection of owl items of every kind, which started 42 years ago and are all beautifully displayed.
Most impressive. Then to Greenhithe for more interesting vehicles and delicious Devonshire Tea
at Kevin & Marlene's, where you could have a go at croquet on the lawn and enjoy a swim in the pool.
 I was the only Jowett on the run until we got to Kevin's to find Jim's Bradford outside. 
He had arrived early to "help" Marlene with the jam and cream scones for the Devonshire Tea ! 

  		  

The Annual Galaxy of Cars
Western Springs Feb 2012

 Jowett Club does it Again

The Galaxy of Cars this year was at a new venue, the Western Springs Speedway grounds.

Seventeen Jowetts lined up for public display on a bright and sunny day..The number of cars was down
a little on last year due to several vehicles undergoing repairs or paint jobs in preparation for the

Club 50th commemorative Rally in Nelson in April.

 Never the less the Club was awarded First Place for “Club presentation”

to add to the achievements of 2010: first,  2011, second. 

The judges commended the Club for the supporting information that we provided in addition to

an impressive line up of cars. This included a fully operational Bradford engine,

 a static cutaway Javelin engine, and various signboards on the various models and Jowett history.

 

This event also doubles up as the Jowett Northern Branch Pride of Ownership and this year

the competition was really close
