Des Lange Collection

Toowoomba farmer Des Lange was a member from 1958 until the mid-1960s with his beautifully restored green 1914 Sunbeam 12/16 tourer.

We are indebted to Des’ family for donating this collection of photos, rally plaques and period newspaper items in Des’ memory. Some of the photos show Des’ brother in law Reg Kessler with his 1913 Chalmers roadster.

You will note that the Golden Fleece rally plaques refer to “The Veteran Car Club of Queensland,” the “VCCQ.” In 1962, we amalgamated with other State Veteran Clubs to become the “Veteran Car Club of Australia (Queensland)” the “VCCA(Q).”

In the Des Lange Collection are photos of the unique VCCQ vehicle badge and lapel pin that were available for purchase by members at that time.
