Motoring mishaps part of vintage journey for Doug
Doug Hamilton’s Cadillac was considered “too modern” for the 2017 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.
Sadly, ignition problems kept Doug Hamilton’s Cadillac out of a rally in Mahurangi organised by the Horseless Carriage Club of New Zealand earlier this month.
That meant the Scotts Landing resident was unable to join in with handful of other enthusiasts taking their cars – all built before 1919 – on a jaunt from The Salty Dog Inn in Snells Beach out to Port Albert.
A fun outing, even though most cars had little protection from the weather, which went from grey and damp to a downpour.
