The oldest one make car club in the world.

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?
