There was a British invasion long before the Beatles and other rockers from across the pond hit the airwaves in B.C. It was the compact Austin A40 automobiles that took the province by storm.
Vancouver-based Fred Deeley Motors
had been the distributor for Austin cars in the province since 1932. Their tiny underpowered Austin 7 compacts weren’t suited for B.C.’s varied terrain and radically changing weather conditions. While the 7’s were only good for city use and the larger ‘18’ models with an 1150 cc engine were more powerful, sales were sluggish.
Fred Deeley convinced Austin Motors to build a left-hand-drive
“export” model as the manufacturer was about to release a brand new car designed after the war in 1948. That car was the Austin Devon A40 equipped with a economical 1200 cc four-cylinder overhead valve engine coupled to a four speed transmission. They had real leather seats and many were equipped with a sun roof. There were also pickup trucks, vans, station wagons and even

Victoria Hyundai announced last week it will donate a brand new 2012 Hyundai Accent in support of the BC Cancer Foundation at the annual Jingle Mingle Silent Auction.

all proceeds will go to support the BC Cancer Foundation.
Bonnie Campbell, event chair, notes that “the success of our efforts with the BC Cancer Foundation could not be had without the support of local organizations like Victoria Hyundai. This is a great example of local Victorians helping Victoria.”
Stephen Munro, General Manager at Victoria Hyundai is “thrilled to be able to take part in such a great event. Our business culture is that of building customers for life and putting people before profits. We are really happy to be able to let our actions define our commitment to this great community.”

ambulances available.Once the cars started arriving in
Vancouver and Victoria, they started to sell like hotcakes. Deeley moved 1,250 Austin A40s in 1948 – the first year of production. Sales soared in 1949 with 3,274 Austin cars sold in B.C. In fact, the Austin outsold all other makes in that year. Sales went into the stratosphere in 1950 with a total of 5,186 Austin cars sold. They seemed to be everywhere and they were being imported by the shipload.
In four years, total sales of Austin vehicles in British Columbia were worth $15 million to the 40 Austin dealers throughout the province. Deeley, the distributor, was also the most successful dealer selling one of every three Austin vehicles imported through sales outlets in Vancouver and Victoria.
The Austin A40 was Britain’s No. 1 export product, earning $70 million in its first four years of production. The company was turning out a car every 44 seconds.
For 10 days in August 1951, Fred Deeley held a giant Austin of England show in Vancouver’s Seaforth Amouries. The company sent an airplane load of executives over to set up and run the show. It was a hugely popular event showcasing cars, trucks and even an Austin ambulance.
To heighten interest in the show, Mr. Deeley brought in a famous race car from England powered by a supercharged twin overhead cam engine.
Austin cars were the most popular makes seen on the streets of both Vancouver and Victoria. But there was a dark day to come.
On April 28, 1952, the Dutch ship Dongedyk caught fire in Vancouver harbor. The freighter was carrying 50 Austin A40 automobiles and light
trucks. The Vancouver fireboat showered salt water on the freighter to extinguish the fire. The water damaged some of the vehicles.
On May 9, 22 of the most severely damaged Austin vehicles were loaded on a barge and taken out through English Bay to be dumped at the entrance to Howe Sound. Some valuable items like batteries and wheels had been stripped from the vehicles. The tugboat River Ace used a cable to pull the new vehicles off the barge. Photographer Robert O. Bentley captured the event with his historic shots now part of the Dominion Photo Studio collection in the Vancouver Public Library.
A spokesperson for Austin of England, owner of the vehicles, was quoted in a Vancouver Sun story about the Austin car dump saying: “We don’t want anyone to have any doubt in his mind when he buys a car. We’re making sure no one claims his car is acting up because it was damaged in the fire.”
A subsequent article written after a tugboat crew was spotted spending a day dragging over the spot warned people who may want to go fishing for a new car that “the legal situation is ticklish. The ownership is still vested with the company that had them dunked.”
Austin continued to ship cars to Canada for next 25 years. The Austin Mini cars and later the Austin Marina were sold from 1972 to 1978. But the glory days of market dominance really ended for Austin with the introduction of the hardy, economical and reliable Volkswagen Beetle to Canada beginning in 1953. Then, in the mid 1960s, North American manufacturers introduced compact cars into the marketplace, further pushing Austin cars into the background.

Chevrolet is taking the guesswork out of the car-buying process with a new, simpler approach to pricing and packaging for the 2013 Spark.
When the mini car goes on sale later this year, Spark will be available in three well-equipped trim levels starting at $13,495 plus $1,500 destination.
Spark is a sporty, fuel-efficient, four-passenger, five-door hatch designed to
excite first-time car buyers and city dwellers with bold styling, attention-grabbing colours – including Salsa, Jalapeno, Denim, Lemonade and Techno Pink – engaging driving dynamics, the personalized connectivity of MyLink, and the safety of 10 standard air bags.
Spark also offers more passenger and cargo room than other mini cars such as the Fiat 500, smart fortwo and Scion IQ.
Chevrolet MyLink in the Spark will include Stitcher Smart Radio apps.
Later in the model year, the recently introduced GogoLink – an embedded smartphone application that delivers full-function navigation including live traffic updates – will be available.
Pricing for GogoLink will be announced later.
Spark is the only car in its segment to provide the added value of a five-year, 160,000-kilometre powertrain warranty and the safety and security of OnStar.
2013 Spark packs technology and features into small price
Chevrolet has announced pricing for the 2013 Spark subcompact will start at $13,495 not included a $1,500 shipping fee. Spark goes on sale later this year.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is on the road.
Porsche has taken the driving trials of the super sports car of the future a step further with completion of the initial prototypes.
The 918 Spyder is planned for production at the end of September 2013, with the first customer deliveries currently scheduled for late in 2013.
The focus is on the interplay between the highly sophisticated individual drive components.
The combination of combustion engine and two independent electric motors – one on the front axle and one in the drive line, acting on the rear wheels – poses completely new demands on the development of the operating
strategies. The super sports car is designed as
a plug-in hybrid vehicle combining a high-performance combustion engine with cutting-edge electric motors for extraordinary performance: on the one hand, the dynamics of a racing machine boasting more than 770 hp, on the other hand, fuel consumption in the region of three litres per 100 kilometres.
Moreover, Porsche is breaking yet more new ground with the technology demonstrator with spectacular solutions such as the full carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque with unit carrier, fully adaptive aerodynamics, adaptive rear-axle steering and the upward-venting “top pipes” exhaust system.
In the process, the 918 Spyder is offering a glimpse of what Porsche Intelligent Performance may be capable of in future.
918 Spyder prototypes begin testing

In an effort to live up to Western Speedway’s motto, “Number 1 in Family Fun,” this Saturday night will see something totally new: a special Car Load Night.
For only $30 you can pack as many people into your vehicle as possible, again making Western Speedway the most affordable family fun in Victoria.
The action will include the Richlock Rentals WILROC Non-Wing Sprint Cars, Island Series Stock Cars and two classes making their first appearances of the year – the vintage cars of the Old Time Racers Association, featuring cars from the ‘30s and ‘40s, and the 5/8-scale Dwarf Cars, powered by motorcycle engines.
The WILROC Non-Wing Sprint Cars return for their second points race of the year after an outstanding opening race two weeks ago. Campbell River’s Mark Stuart picked up his first career Sprint Car victory in a terrific battle with Shawinigan Lake’s Jeff Bird and will be looking to make it two wins in a row. Both up-Island drivers can expect tough challenges from several drivers including Sidney’s Chris Root, who set fast time on opening night, and Rob Scott, a previous track champion in a variety of classes. Victoria drivers Ron French, the father-and-son team of Paul and Matt Verhagen, and Robbie Haslam should also be in action. Drivers expected to make their first starts of the year include Victoria’s Deter Lejeune and Courtenay’s Lance Wade.
The Island Series Stock Cars will also make their second start of the season with Duncan’s Cody Aumen leading the way after picking up his first career win on opening night, in addition to
setting fast time. Dave Reside and Kyle Cottam, who finished second and third, will be looking to break into victory square this weekend.
Former series champion Ryan Wade and Brian Clutchey are both hoping for better luck, while Daryl Crocker will debut his new car after arriving too late on opening night. In the Rookie-of-the-Year battle, 15-year-old Rhett Smith leads the way after his eighth-place finish opening night; other contenders Brandon Steen and Kevin Knight were involved in a lap 2 crash and both drivers finished well back in the field.
The popular Old Time Racing Association cars resemble the first cars that raced at Western in the ‘50s and ‘60s and the drivers always put on a great show. Drivers expected to fight for the win include James Campbell, George Jenson, Tom Cinnamon and three sets of father-and-son teams: Joe and Stephen Dardengo, Roger and Kyle Beck, and James and Chris Miller. Up-Island drivers slated to compete are Nanaimo’s Larry Joyce, and Duncan’s Rich Bennett and Bob Martin.
The Island Dwarf Car Club will race for the first time this year. 2011 champion Neil Sanger should be back but can expect a tough challenge from Jeremy Stevens, Jim Pridge, James Dorie, and Jim and Mike Meeres.
Coming up June 2 at Western Speedway will be for The Q Demo Night, presented by the Goldstream News Gazette and featuring Demo Car and Truck action, Bombers and Mini Figure 8s. The gates open at 4:30 p.m., with qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6:30 p.m.
For Western Speedway information, call 250-474-2151 or visit www.westernspeedway.net

It’s time to test ride a new 2012 Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
With the new Twin Cam 103 powertrain as standard equipment on Softail, Touring, most Dyna motorcycles, and four new models: the Sportster Seventy-Two, Softail Slim, V Rod 10th Anniversary Edition, and the Dyna Switchback, riders won’t want to pass up one of the free Test Our Metal demo ride opportunities.
The Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada-hosted Test Our Metal program has been offering riders the chance to experience the genuine feel of riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle for free for over 20 years.
Unlicensed participants can either ride along as a passenger, or experience JUMPSTART at participating authorized Harley-Davidson Retailers. JUMPSTART is a stationary motorcycle, allowing aspiring Customers to learn how to start, shift, and twist the throttle on a fully-functioning motorcycle that does not move.
The Test Our Metal program currently operates from coast to coast in Canada with approximately 140 scheduled demo dates hosted by authorized Harley-Davidson Retailers between April and October. Just over 10,500 individual participants take the opportunity to test ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles for free each season.
As a prelude to the upcoming 110th
anniversary of Harley-Davidson Motor Company in 2013, special 110th anniversary Harley-Davidson models will be available at the retailer-hosted Test Our Metal events, as of early September 2012.
In continued support of troops, Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada is also proud to maintain the Test Our Metal program at selected military bases across Canada, allowing troops to enjoy test rides on the newest models of Harley-Davidson motorcycles on specific dates.
The Test Our Metal events schedule can be found at www.harleycanada.com/demorides, or through the “demo ride” button on the main page of www.harleycanada.com
Harley-Davidson Test Our Metal demo test rides
Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada’s Test Our Metal program offers test rides on brand new entries for 2012. The Sportster lineup expands with the new Seventy-Two.

smart will launch the escooter on the market in 2014.
The fully electric escooter will be premiered within the next two years. The design of the escooter study is being developed and refined further.
For smart, this is the next logical step in implementing its comprehensive concept for future urban mobility.
Back in 2010, smart unveiled a comprehensive portfolio of electric products for urban transport at the Paris Motor Show.
In addition to the smart fortwo electric drive as a coupe and a convertible, it includes the smart ebike and the escooter. smart is now consistently turning this concept into reality: the smart fortwo electric drive will be launched on the market in summer 2012, and delivery to customers of the first ebikes is just beginning.
With its many innovative and trendsetting features, the new product will be unmistakably a genuine smart.
Just like the ebike, the escooter will also be available for customers who (as yet) have no driver’s license for cars as a smart on two wheels.
smart continues its mobility concept: market launch for the escooter in 2014
smart intends to market the escooter (left) by 2014 with the ebike (right) becoming available this summer.

With the summer now here, GM is reminding motorists to maintain their vehicles and drive smarter to help improve fuel efficiency and save money at the pump.
To demonstrate 10 common mistakes drivers make that hurt their fuel efficiency, General Motors fuel economy engineers Ann Wenzlick and Beth Nunning drove identical Chevrolet Cruze LTs with a Natural Resources Canada rating of 7.8L/100km city and 5.2L/100km highway, on a typical workday commute.
For the route, they drove both cars for 20
minutes, including city and highway driving as well as stopping for coffee.
The results show that sweating the small stuff could save drivers as much as $100 a month in fuel costs.
Wenzlick averaged 6.4L/100km (37 miles per US gallon) using efficient driving habits in a properly maintained Cruze.
Driving inefficiently and ignoring common maintenance, Nunning managed only 11.2L/100km (21 miles per US gallon). The difference means Nunning would get almost 400 fewer kilometres per tank of gas, while Wenzlick would save $100 a month – or $1,200 a year – assuming 20,000 kilometres and $1.29 per litre for gas.
Smart driving could save $100 a month at the pump
A GM Canada test of driving techniques showed driving efficiently can save up to $1,200 a year.

Victoria’s Je� and Patti Shultis were winners of a national contest from The Brick furniture stores, taking home $10,000 in gift cards from the store.The Brick’s “Flip It to Win” promotion ran through April, giving customers a chance to win instant prizes in the store and then enter online for the grand prize, says Victoria’s Douglas Street store manager John Ellis. The annual contest is hosted by about 150 Brick and Brick Mattress locations across Canada, including the two Victoria stores, on Douglas Street and in Langford.“We’re a small store compared to some others across the country so it’s pretty big (for us). As a store we thought it was really exciting then when the Shultises showed up the energy (was terri� c), “Ellis says.

When many people on our roads today learned to drive, they didn’t have many other road users to share the road with. Today, road users can often include cyclists, pedestrians, skateboarders and others.
Bike to Work Week is a popular province-wide campaign that includes communities all over British Columbia. It’s an exciting week that helps kick off “better weather” and above all exercise and recreation.
However, it can be a difficult week for some drivers if they are not open to sharing the road with cyclists. There are rules of the road you need to know when you are sharing the road – rules that help
keep cyclists and drivers safe. Here are a few:
1. Shoulder check! By looking over your shoulder before entering traffic, moving to the right, before opening your door to exit your vehicle or any time you pull away from the curb you MUST shoulder check.
2. Be extra careful when passing other vehicles. Make sure you can see well ahead before you begin to pass. Check for cyclists.
3. Scan intersections BEFORE you enter them! Watch for cyclists making left turns in intersections and watch for cyclists riding through an intersection as you are about to make a left turn. Don’t assume cyclists are slow; many cyclists are fast and can travel the same speed as
vehicles. 4. Following distance – Allow plenty
of room when following a cyclist. If a cyclist falls, you as a driver need to have space to avoid hitting the cyclist.
5. Allow side margins – To avoid side-swiping a cyclist, always allow space between you and the cyclist beside you. You are allowed to cross a single solid yellow line (provided it’s safe) to go around a cyclist. If you have the option, change lanes and drive in the lane away from the cyclist. Give the cyclist room!
6. Hand signals – An experienced cyclist will know the proper hand signals when they are turning or changing direction. Many drivers are not familiar with the correct signals. Here they are:
7. Stay alert – This is not a time for texting, talking on your cell phone or anything else that divides your attention while you are driving. Things happen with only a split second to react. If you are not alert, tragedy can happen, especially with cyclists and pedestrians. SLOW DOWN!
Driving with cyclists: Stay safe on the road for Bike to Work Week

Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese is joining Lord Richard Attenborough and Anthony Haas to produce the feature film drama Silver Ghost.
The project will be a co-production between Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions and Zuma Productions.
Silver Ghost will tell the story of motoring pioneer Lord John Douglas-Scott Montagu of Beaulieu, his wife Cis and his secret love affair with his secretary and
mistress, Eleanor Velasco Thornton. It also tells of John’s connection and
friendships with Rolls-Royce founders Charles Rolls and Henry Royce and British artist and sculptor Charles Sykes.
Eleanor was the inspiration for the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy mascot, designed by Sykes, that to this day adorns all Rolls-Royce cars.
“Martin Scorsese is a giant of the cinema and I am thrilled to be collaborating with Marty and Anthony,” said Lord Attenborough. “What a team to bring this extraordinary story to life.”
“Silver Ghost is a most complex love story, not only between men and women, but men and machines.
Set at the turn of the last century, it delineates the fascinating story of Charles Rolls and Henry Royce and the highly charged love affairs within the Montagu family.”
Zuma Productions Ltd. was established to produce Silver Ghost and is headed by producer and creator of BAFTA-nominated projects, Anthony Haas, together with his producing partner Richard Attenborough.
Scorsese to produce Silver Ghost feature
Silver Ghost is the name of a new movie about the famed Rolls-Royce car and the people involved, including Eleanor Thornton (above) who was the inspiration for the famed hood ornament, the Spirit of Ecstasy.
