POPULAR NEW MORRIS MODEL

No less an authority than the Autocar predicts that Lord Nuffield's new Series 2 car will prove an even greater success than the Morris family saloon, of which 38,000 were sold in eight months—easily a record for the British motor industry. The Autocar, after road-testing tho Series 2, describes it as "altogether u remarkable car." The appearance of tho saloon, with its raked windscreen and generally streamlined contours, marks a new development in tho English car of popular price. The appearance of speed and power is by no means misleading, for the high power-to-weight ratio of tho Morris Series 2 provides a sparkling performance) and a high cruising speed which may be maintained for long periods and over considerable journeys. A permanent hydraulic jacking system is built in, enabling all four wheels, or tho front or rear wheels only, to be lifted off tho ground. An important feature of this is that it is operated from inside tho car, which means, of course, that the time which must be spent in changing a tyro is reduced to a minimum. This feature will bo appreciated in wet weather.
