The oldest one make car club in the world.

Post by Alastair Gregg »

Interestingly The Aston Martin owners club are using the following statement on their club site and in the Wikipedia entry:-

"The Aston Martin Owners Club (AMOC, pronounced aim-moc) is one of the oldest one-make car enthusiast clubs, one of the largest with worldwide membership and one of the leaders". However they go on to say:-

"S. C. H. "Sammy" Davis agreed that an Aston Martin Owners Club would be a good idea and inserted a note in The Autocar (of which he was Sports Editor) of 3 and 17 May, 1935, calling a meeting. The 20 or 30 people who turned up on 25 May also agreed and elected a committee which included Lance Prideaux-Brune, Dick Anthony, Maurice Falkner, Harold Bevan, Miss Dorothy Bean and Peter Cadbury".

Do we as a club know what date in 1923 the SJCC was formed?

I'm not quite sure why they think they are one of the "leaders" but when I search in wikipedia for "the oldest one make car club in the world"
It (Wikipedia) would allow me to generate a page saying what I wanted. I have not done so, should the club not be rising to this and making the statement? Who has the authority to do so?
Compliments of the Season,

I have edited several things on Wiki over the years
Anyone one can do it....
just make sure you have the facts correct and and as much relivent info as possible to back it up.

Maybe the jowett section should be edited also to such effect.
