CHRISTMAS Message from the FBHVC

1/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Thanks to Anthony Osborne for sharing the FBHVC's seasonal message:
Picture
To all in the historic vehicle community, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and thank you for your ongoing support for our mission to keep yesterday's vehicles on tomorrow's roads. 

There are even more of you supporting us this year, with well with over 500 subscriber organisations and many individual and trade supporters joining us over the past year. 

We have achieved much and seen the historic vehicle market weather the current economic crisis pretty surprisingly well so far.  However, there are signs that events in particular are feeling the pressure and clubs are needing to try ever more innovative approaches to recruit and retain membership subscriptions. 

A continuing success story has been the return of Drive it Day in support of Childline®.  Last year we smashed the total of the previous year, with a total of £47,000 raised through the sales of our rally plates. 
When an organisation raises more than £30,000 (the cost of operating Childline for a 24-hour period), the NSPCC award the title ‘One Unforgettable Day’ in recognition of children who make that first call on that day to Childline to ask for help.  So, let's push for doing two unforgettable days in 2023! 

Over a million miles of historic vehicle usage has now been off-set by our partnership with Tree-V wihich continues to grow in both an arboreal and popularity sense! Whilst we all realise that our vehicles have already paid their dues regarding their manufacturing output and that our usage is so minimal that we contribute immeasurably smalll levels of CO2 to the environment, we must be seen to be doing what we can. It is also a very useful way of engaging positively in conversation with the public and an even better opportunity to demonstrate and educate them on our minuscule impact to carbon emissions. 

On a legislation front, the politics of the nation have mainly meant that Government's eyes were elsewhere. The expansion of the ULEZ zones in London continued, but with exemptions for historic vehicles. DVLA are continuing to rebuild their operation in the wake of the pandemic and we have been working through several issues with them in recent months regarding the registration and classifications for certain historic vehicles. 

However, news of the plans for travel lockdowns in the new 15-minute city of Oxford and ever more draconian laws being mooted by the EU for our European colleagues, reminds us to remain ultra vigilant and not to be complacent about the victories already won. 

Your support throughout the year and the hard work of our team of volunteers means that we are able to do just that, so a huge thank you for all that goes in to making our work as the Federation possible. That thanks extends to our commercial partners as well, who have been incredible in their unwavering support throughout the past 12-months. 

Club Expo sponsored by Peter James Insurance in association with the British Motor Museum will take place on Saturday 21 January.  We have a stunning programme lined up for you, so we hope you can join us for a day of useful content and support for historic vehicle clubs. Details below. 

Please enjoy the festive break and we hope to welcome you to Club Expo in just a few weeks.

David Whale
Chairman, FBHVC

We're the featured club on Classics World!

29/8/2022

We were delighted to be approached by the team behind the very successful 'Classics World' YouTube channel recently - they were looking for classic car clubs for a new regular video feature they had planned. With us both being in the Lancaster Insurance stable, they wanted to film some of our members and their classics for a feature at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon.
Of course we were delighted to be asked and here are the results, featuring interviews with Gar, Nick and Lincoln. Graham, Ian and Garry also lent their support, bringing their classics along to create an impressive display in front of the Gaydon museum - many thanks, guys!

​
Thanks to Joe from Classics World and Andrew Evanson from Lancaster for making us feel so welcome - it was a great day out and we are proud to be featured on such a successful channel.

Update: Ian Hope's British Car Museum (NZ)

27/7/2022

2 Comments

 
Written by Paul Sweeney.
Many of you will know I was a friend of the late Ian Hope and helped him with his amazing collection of British cars here in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.
The last I heard after Ian sadly passed away was that his museum was closed and for sale. After hearing some rumours recently, I stopped by there today to see if anything was happening. I found the real estate agent's sign now says, "Sold" and a few vehicles have been moved outside and were marked, "For Sale" (see photos). 
There was a contact number written on the vehicles for sale - well, it would be rude not to, wouldn't it? So I called the number hoping to find out what was happening to the collection.

I was in luck - I got through to Mark, one of Ian's nephews. He told me he had taken on the challenge of disposing of the property including the car collection and that he was working on tidying up the inside of the buildings. He is also gradually disposing of many of the cars either for restoration or as parts donors and says his goal is to end up with approximately 50 of the best to keep.
The new owner will take over in approximately a year's time and hopes to reopen the reduced collection to the public if possible - but Mark did stress there are many obstacles needing to be overcome before that can happen - not least the Health & Safety issues.

Anyone interested in possibly buying from Ian's collection should keep an eye on www.trademe.co.nz - meanwhile I will check back in a year from now and report how things have gone.

Yes I did ask Mark if I could get inside to film, but he told me it's now designated as a hazardous work site so public access will not be possible until further notice.

Online Bidders - we've white labelled with ATG/the-saleroom and by doing so have managed to secure better rates for our bidders. Cars and motorcycles will remain at 1.2% (inc VAT) online fees whilst all else is 3.6% (inc VAT). There is one important measure that you must take however, if you plan to bid through the website, and that is that this reduced rate only applies if you register and bid through our website and not directly through the-saleroom.com. Directly will be 1.2% and 6%.
Many thanks,

Return to the Fat Lamb - October 2022

Written by Gar Cole.
Following the huge success of the 2021 driving tour in Cumbria, we will return this year on 8-11 October.

It’s a package deal for our club; 3 night stay for 2 people with breakfast and evening meals included, plus a guided tour by the owner across the very best scenery the area has to offer. It’s a lovely old building and the food is way above normal standard, we’d go as far as to say it’s exceptional. There are just 5 rooms remaining.

​The cost is £450 per room for the 3 nights. A deposit of £50 must be paid directly to the hotel on 01539623242, with the balance to be paid on arrival.
​
When booking in please quote you are with the ‘Enthusiasts car club‘ - strictly first come, first served.

If you havent been to the Fat Lamb before, you can watch the video from our last visit below.
Organised by Gar Cole - any queries to him via Facebook.
