As I’m writing this in early March, I’m looking out the window at melting snow quite encouraged by the early warm weather and the past relatively easy Winter – not to mention pleased with myself. For the first time in my memory I actually got my Winter projects completed. The 29 year restoration (I don’t rush into some things) of my Triumph TR6 is pretty much done. The other LBC project I wanted to get done was changing the rear end ratio in my MG TD so I could comfortably drive the car at 50-55 mph without

straining the engine. A tip of the old oily cloth cap to Ken Law for his help and guidance in accomplishing what initially seemed a daunting task. The big news emerging from the Winter, at least as far as the Boot ‘n’ Bonnet is concerned, is the move to Ken Garrett Memorial Park in Inverary of our annual British Car Day (BCD). This came about as a result of the City of Kingston deciding they didn’t want any cars of any kind for any reason in City Park, the home of BCD for more than two decades. Our new BCD home features lots of grass for parking large shade trees on one side of the park and luxuries like running water and flush toilets! Last year Barbara and I bought a 1930 Ford Model “A” coupe. We’ve both got a real appreciation for the early ‘30’s cars and a Model ‘A’ was in our snack bracket, so to speak. A B’N B club member is an enthusiastic Model “A” owner as well as a luminary in the Ottawa Model “A” club. He strongly encouraged me to join the Ottawa Model “A” club. Here I was with the shoe on the other foot, so to speak. A new owner of a classic vehicle and wondering about the worth of joining a club dedicated to that vehicle. I took the fellow B’N B member’s advice and joined the ‘Capital A’s’. It didn’t take long for that membership to show its worth when I had a technical problem with the “A”. No book or web site had the answer. I got in touch with the ‘Capital A’ member I know. He immediately arranged for the ‘Capital A’ technical advisor to visit. He arrived in his Model A along with the mutual friend in his Model A, tools at the ready and set about to solve my problem. The experience put me in mind about what I’ve so often said. Get out to Boot’N Bonnet events and get to know a few members. You’ll find they’re only too happy to help you with solving the few LBC problems (they are few, right?) or direct you to a member who is able to help you. The Covid 19 pandemic has thrown our normal lives into disarray. Right now, the most important thing to do is follow local, provincial and federal public health agencies advice and government directives. As has been said many time “we’ll get through this”. When we do, I’ll look forward to seeing members out enjoying their cars and the company of their friends and fellow members Ken Morgan Vice President’s Message: Well, driving season will soon be upon us. Let's hope that we get off to an earlier start that we did last year. If I remember correctly, we had a really late snowstorm that dumped a fair bit on us near the end of April and managed to stick around for a few days before finally melting away.

President’s Message:

Vice President’s Message (continued) If you are anything like me, you are eagerly anticipating that first drive of spring down some quiet country roads (hopefully one not full of potholes). To me, there is nothing more relaxing than the freedom of the open road after being cooped up in the house all winter. This is especially true if you happen to own a convertible and are brave enough to put the top down. The wind might be cold, but having that sun shining on you makes it all worthwhile. Over this past winter, I noticed that we got a lot of new members to join our great little club. I look forward to meeting all of you and also seeing what you drive. I encourage you to come out to some of our events and meet your other club members. They are a great group of people and I am sure that you will make many new friendships. One of our first events of the season in the west end is the "Horsepower at Huffs". For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, it is a car show that takes place at the Huff Estates Winery. This is the 4th year for it, and each year it seems to get bigger & better. Last year we had about 25 vehicles in attendance and were given a separate area so that we could display all of our cars together. I'm hoping that we can surpass that number this year. The show takes place on May 23rd, with the rain date being the 24th. The hours are quite civilized from 11AM - 3PM. I hope to see you all there.

Martin Gertsen Editor’s Message: You don’t need me to tell you that we live in challenging times. Our wishes, desires, and plans for this year be disrupted by factors beyond our control. Our number one priority should be our health and I am sure that common sense and the edicts that will be imposed on us, courtesy of the current pandemic, will impact our calendar. Hopefully we will all get through this even though it is bound to curtail club activities to some extent. We will all need to stay tuned to our email to keep up with an evolving situation. With respect to the Spanner, this is bound to affect the supply of material for our newsletter. Now more than ever we will need some creative writing to make up for an inevitable short-fall of our regular contributions and content. If you have an idea for a general interest article, or if you can put something together about a past event or project that you are working on, that would be very welcome. Pictorial submissions involving British cars and past events are always nice to see. I will try my best to keep us on a regular production cycle but we will all need to chip in to make this happen. As usual, a brief reminder about material for inclusion in the newsletter. Please submit your article using microsoft word. The desired font is Times New Roman with a pitch size of 12. All pictures submitted must be JPEG’s with an image size 250-500 KB. No imbeded protection in your material, or special formating please. Also, file protection on images can present a challenge. Thanks in advance for your consideration with respect to much needed submissions and please remember that all contibutions to the Spanner are always welcome. Hugh Black

Member’s Submissions:

Move over VW Beach Buggy! This beauty was spotted, tucked away in a corner of the National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia. Not quite as intended when it left the factory in Longbridge but this 1956 Austin A30 definitely makes a statement. Apparently in the 60’s when some Australian families could afford a second car, the A 30 became popular as a vehicle for the housewife or sometimes it was even used as a “surfmobile”. I am sure you will agree that the later adaptation, depicted here, is very creative.

The Famous Winter Gathering Barbara Dale & Hugh Black The annual winter get-together was hosted by Royalty and well attended by club dignitaries and luminaries alike. The venue was the Selby community hall in Selby and arrangements for this auspicious event were made by the King and Queen of Bath, also known to us commoners as Dave and Dalyce Mayell. Their Majesties clearly wielded their influence to the maximum with the venue and food both being first class. The beverages were also appropriately priced. We thank you for your efforts and organization of this important club event. In addition to being a great social occasion, it is the time of the year to thank and recognize the contributions that have been made to the operation of the club by some of our members.

Selection of the recipients for the British Car Club of Canada award falls on our President’s shoulders and it goes to an individual or individuals who have made a significant contribution to the running of the Club. For anyone who has attended one of our barbecues or the British Car Day you will have no doubt noted that we always have tents, chairs, tables and a barbeque. These do not appear there by magic and David and Kelly faithfully pull the club trailer behind their Range Rover to our assorted gatherings, thereby ensuring that we have whatever we need. Not only are they the setup crew for all of this but they are the last to leave as the have to put everything back in the box before they can depart. Many thanks to David and Kelly for an award that is truly deserved.

Bentley Motors - 1919-2019 By: Peter Jepson

W.O. Bentley Walter Owen Bentley was born in 1888. He apprenticed with the Great Northern Railway, but on finishing his apprenticeship he turned his attention to racing motorbikes and studying engineering at King’s College London. In 1912 W.O. and his brother Horace formed Bentley and Bentley, finishing and selling DFP cars in London. In those days, winning races was the best way to sell cars, and W.O. fitted a DFP with aluminium-alloy pistons (the first-ever use of aluminium pistons) and started winning. When the Great War began, W.O. Bentley turned his attention to engines for aircraft, helping several companies, including Rolls-Royce, incorporate aluminium pistons, and later designed his own engines, BR1 (Bentley Rotary 1) and BR2, which were made by Humber. Rotary engines were the ones where the crankshaft was bolted to the airframe, and the crankcase and the radially-positioned cylinders (9 of them in the BR2) rotated around it, the propeller being bolted to the front of the crankcase. W.O. was awarded an MBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in recognition of this work. In 1919, Bentley Motors was formed, based in Cricklewood, North London. Road testing began in January 1920 and the first production car was delivered in September 1921. Bentley Motors concentrated on powerful (but necessarily rather heavy) sports cars. Reliability and cornering, and the inclusion of all modern conveniences (in non-racing cars), were the distinguishing features. A 3-litre Bentley driven by Frank Clement and John Duff, the only British entry, finished fourth out of 37 entries in the inaugural LeMans 24-hour race in 1923 - shortly before midday the Bentley sputtered to a halt. A stone had holed its fuel tank. Duff made best speed on foot back to the pits—a distance of three miles — while the stewards determined that Clement could borrow a bicycle to pedal back to the stranded car with what petrol he could carry once Duff had arrived. This he did, thoughtfully slinging the bicycle into the back of the Bentley so it could be reunited with its owner once he brought the car in - and Bentleys won in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930. The most famous Bentleys from those days are the Blowers, with a supercharger visible at the front of the car under the radiator: but they were made under the instructions of Woolf Barnato and Tim Burkin, two of the Bentley Boys, the racing drivers. W.O. never liked the idea, saying they would be unreliable: and he was right.

The cars were magnificent, but the company’s balance sheet was not. Woolf Barnato, who had inherited a fortune from the diamond business, ploughed the whole of it into Bentley Motors. In 1931, with sales dropping with the Depression, the company shut down and liquidated itself.

Just over 3000 cars had been sold, some as open cars, others as saloons. It was expected that Napier would buy the assets, but Rolls-Royce, under cover as British Equitable Central Trust, put in a last-minute bid and the receiver let them have it. It is said that Rolls-Royce bought it because they were afraid that the last car Bentley designed (the 8-litre) could wipe the floor with their Phantom II.

W.O. was forced by contract to work for Rolls-Royce until 1935, but they side-lined him. In 1935 he joined Lagonda as Technical Director, and went racing again: a Lagonda won Le Mans that year. In 1939, the Lagonda Rapide went on sale: it’s V-12 engine developed 200 horsepower; but the high-quality car business closed down when WWII began. During the war, Lagonda, like everybody else, produced armaments.

Afterwards, Lagonda struggled to get going again due to a shortage of steel and the general penury, but one company that apparently did have money was David Brown. They bought both Aston Martin and Lagonda in 1947, and started production of the DB2, with a 2.6 litre straight six designed by W.O. and Willie Watson, in 1950. W.O. retired in the late ‘50’s, and passed away in 1971.

W.O. Bentley So, while W.O. Bentley laboured away for other companies, his name lived on as a Rolls-Royce marque. For some years, Bentleys were more sports cars, Rolls-Royces more luxury cars, but gradually the difference faded away. The last distinctive Bentleys in that era were the Continentals, R-type and S-type, of the 1950’s. After that, Bentleys were not much more than Rolls-Royces with a different radiator – until the late 1990’s, when Vickers, who had owned Rolls-Royce Motors for some years, realized that a small company like them could no longer produce ‘the best cars in the world’: the engineering costs of keeping ahead

of both everybody else, and the regulations, had become huge. BMW had a close association with Rolls-Royce Aero Engines (the company with which, incidentally, I apprenticed), and they were expected to buy Rolls-Royce Motors. Volkswagen, though, put in a significantly higher bid, and in 1998 took ownership of the company. What they didn’t take ownership of, though, horrifically, was the rights to the name Rolls-Royce: those rights, after a lot of legal wrangling, were determined to be a trademark still belonging to Rolls-Royce Aero Engines. And they sold the rights to BMW for 40 million pounds. Luckily, the two German companies played nice: Bentley continued to sell Rolls-Royces until 2002, and the first new Rolls-Royce, designed from scratch by a team put together by BMW in England and built in a brand-new factory near Goodwood, went on sale in 2003. Meanwhile VW put a lot of effort into modernizing the factory in Crewe and creating a whole new character – or, perhaps, reverting to the character of the 1920’s – for Bentley: powerful (but necessarily rather heavy) sports cars, with all mod cons. A Bentley won Le Mans again in 2003.

So, 2019 was the 100th anniversary of the creation of Bentley Motors. A North American celebration was announced for 19 October in New York.

Since I had just got a ‘new’ Bentley Arnage – trading in my beautiful 2005 Arnage T for an even more beautiful 2007 Arnage R – I was keen to take part. A drama, though, began a week earlier, as I tried to take the car out of the garage to start polishing it up. The engine started but immediately stopped! Repeatedly! There were no warning lights or messages, and no codes recorded on the OBD.

15

I reached out to Boots ‘n’ Bonnets and the Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club, but one thing I didn’t mention in those first e-mails (because it never occurred to me at the time that it might be relevant) was a new key. When I bought the car, the key was damaged: it looked like it had been stepped on by an elephant. It still worked, but I insisted that the place that sold me the car provide a new key: which had arrived the day before. I checked that it opened the boot, said to myself ‘Good, it works’, and put the new key on my key-ring and the old key away in a drawer.

It was when I tried to start the car with that new key the next day that the problem appeared. I was frantic: I tried everything I could think of! It turns out that these keys have an RFID inside, and the car checks that it is familiar with the RFID code when you start the car, even if the key turns physically in the ignition slot! Once I understood that, I thought the car would run if I used the old key – but no . . . Grand Touring (Bentley Toronto), when I called them Tuesday morning (Monday was Thanksgiving Day) said they were full all week, but they agreed to break into their schedule when I explained that I wanted to go to the Bentley extravaganza in New York the following weekend. They said they had dealt with what sounded like the same problem once previously.

Rick Saucier of Southern Ontario Auto Restore, a B'NB member, was kind enough to drop everything and transport the car to Toronto on Tuesday. By the time I returned to Grand Touring about noon on Wednesday, the car was running again. The only problem was, indeed, that I had started the car with a key which had not been programmed for that car. They had had to contact Bentley Motors, which had sent some code number, tied to the VIN of my car, which allowed them to re-programme the car’s system. In the old days, when something went wrong, you unbolted the offending part, repaired it and reassembled. It’s not like that anymore . . . So, a big shout-out to Rick at Southern Ontario Auto Restore and to the guys at Grand Touring in Toronto! I drove home in pouring rain on Wednesday, cleaned and polished the car on Thursday, and my wife and I drove to New York on Friday, enjoying the Taconic Parkway down the east side of the Hudson River, and arriving in time to enjoy an evening at the theatre prior to joining up with our fellow Bentley enthusiast at the 100th Anniversary Celebration.

Maxi Mini Event! By: Norm Mort

On October 5th and 6th, 2019, over six hundred enthusiastic Austin/Morris and BMW Group MINI owners invaded Prince Edward County (PEC), Ontario to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the tiny British-built icon. Apparently, in 2019 MINI celebrated a double milestone in Canada as this was the fifth rendition of MINI Invasion with the inaugural event taking place in 2010 in Toronto. Since then, MINI fans have “Stormed the Fort” in Niagara-on-the-Lake in 2014, “Headed for the Hill” in Ottawa in 2015 and “Rallied en Masse” in Montreal in 2017.

In 2019 MINI enthusiasts met at various points in Quebec and Ontario and proceeded to Belleville before crossing the bridge together into PEC and on into Picton. After enjoying an evening of celebrating MINI, the next day there was a short trip to Shannonville Motorsport Park for parade laps, drag racing and taxi rides with a very special driver indeed! MINI Canada brought Charlie Cooper; whose grandfather was John Cooper. He was responsible for transforming the early Minis into giant killers on the

track and in international rally events.

16

As a builder and successful track and rally racer, John Cooper’s Mini Cooper models notched-up three wins at the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally between 1964 and 1967.

More recently, grandson Charlie played an important role in furthering his grandfather's legacy by helping his father Mike Cooper, create and launch the new generation MINI "John Cooper Works" line-up. Now, as an ambassador for the MINI brand, Charlie is also developing a motor racing career, competing in both the MINI Challenge and Classic Mini races. Officially, it was on 26th of August 1959, that the British Motor Corporation (BMC) unveiled its all-new, revolutionary Austin and Morris Mini two-door, two-box sedan. The Mini was the

result of years of BMC development activities and created by Alec Issigonis and his design team. The Mini is seen today as an iconic and ground-breaking compact car with its front-wheel-drive, transversely-mounted engine. When introduced, the Mini measured just 3.05 metres or 120" in length, and had a selling price of only £496 in England. First models to appear were the virtually identical Morris Mini-Minor and the Austin Seven. They differed only in their radiator grille, hub caps and body colours. Both were powered by the same 34hp, 848cc four-cylinder engine with a luggage capacity of 195L or 6.83 cubic feet in a rear trunk. The performance of both models was identical. Later for 1962 the upmarket Wolseley Hornet and the Riley Elf versions would appear with their traditional full, upright grilles, and join the already various alternative body configurations that had been announced. A Morris and Austin Mini Van had appeared in 1960, an Estate and station wagon versions including a

“Woody” in 1961, and then a pickup six months later. In the mid-sixties the beach/hotel/off-road Mini Moke would join the fray and it immediately became a cult vehicle. A vocal demand for more power led to contacting John Cooper who along with Issigonis, offered an optional engine with an enlarged capacity of 1071cc that also raised the engine output to 70hp. While the Cooper version was an immediate success, it was soon superseded by the legendary Mini Cooper S version. The Cooper

S was a truly exceptional performer not only on the road, but also on the track and as a rally car. Finnish driver Rauno Aaltonen’s would capture a class win in the 1963 Monte Carlo Rally, which indelibly marked the starting point for a truly unparalleled series of outstanding successes in motorsport. This included three overall wins in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965, and 1967. The Mini had firmly established itself as a unique vehicle in less than a decade. It was a fashion icon, a pop star darling, and a performance vehicle, yet so much more to the everyday motorist seeking value and reliable family transportation.

17

The 2019 Invasion also featured some exciting new models such as the MINI Cooper SE, the omnipotent, all-new MINI John Cooper Works turbo-charged, 301hp, Countryman, and MINI’s first ever all-electric vehicle, as well as a few unique, older Minis. In addition, the first all-new generation MINI to arrive on Canadian soil in Canada in 2002 was at the event in Prince Edward County. The Mini Invasion event was a sold-out success with over six hundred and fifty people in attendance. It was proof that passion for the 60-year old British model is alive and well in Canada. In fact, there was a whopping 260-person waiting list and one enthusiast from Shad Bay, Nova Scotia drove 1,700kms to be declared the furthest travel invader. Bentley 100th Anniversary Celebration – October 2019 By: Peter Jepson Owners of Bentleys were invited to meet at Citi Field in Queens, and take part in a parade from Citi Field in

Queens via a round-about route, finally crossing the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. Tours of the field and stadium were offered, as well as some refreshments: Christophe Georges, chief of Bentley in USA, welcomed all the visitors. There were about 60 cars there. Most of the being modern cars, by which I mean cars designed since VW took the helm. I was surprised there weren’t more older cars, but happy to see that many owners of modern Bentleys are owned by enthusiasts. The group set off all together from Citi Field, and the cars in the lead stayed abreast of each other, but in the fast-moving, fast-stopping, traffic on New York city freeways it was hard for all the Bentleys to keep together. Luckily everybody had been given good route instructions. We had an hour and a half of driving

which needed absolute concentration, and as we got into heavier and heavier traffic, it felt more like an urban rally than a parade! Still, we ended up at the right place at about the right time; as, apparently, did everybody who had set off from Citi Field.

Driving through Manhattan All the parading cars were assigned parking places underground at Brookfield Plaza, in south-west Manhattan near the Conrad Hotel. After a relaxing lunch there in the shopping centre (I needed to relax: I’m not used to driving my pride and joy in New York traffic), we took a look around the plaza which was filled with Bentleys on display: no pre-war cars, but a couple of old Continentals and S-types, many 2020 models, and the show car which is Bentley’s dream for 2035.

That evening, there was a Grand Ball in Conrad Hotel: lots of well-dressed people and as much as you wanted to eat and drink!

On Sunday, after touring aimlessly around New Jersey for a while – the most confusing road system in the world – we headed north up the Palisades Parkway along the west side of the Hudson, and thus home.
