AT LAST!

.. ii. The ■riti.h Cat N*w Zmland W«n«. " AJtMSTRO^<i«inpELEY.'i r It 13 generally rpcognised that there is room for a British' car to take a dominating position in the Dominion, i and to win a popularity comparable with I some of the foreign cars that are soj well known. • What British car will give first "push" and take the lead? It is the Armetrong-Siddeley car, which, although familiar already to many motorists, is about to take a great stride forward in >cw Zealand. VAST RESOURCES. Behind , the car stands the great firms of Armstrong-Siddeley and Sir W. 0. Armstrong, Whitworth, and Co., Ltd.— names that ara at the top in British engineering. They have the resources, ability, and enterprise to make a real impression on this market, and to provide motorists with a car and service I absolutely unrivalled. The greatest thought and care have been devoted to the design of the chassis and body, and the whole car is standardised, including the coaCsi\vork. The Arrastrong-Siddeley cars are moderate in first cost—tka chassis-prices are lower than pre-war. They are distinguished in appearance, and comfortable in the highest degree. Smooth silent in action, they respond to every demand for power and speed. - - .-- The 14/30 4-cylinder is the 'best' investment in its class," and will suit alj roads. It has a 56in track, lOin ground clearance, and an en,giner whjcb/'develogs over 30-h.p. ,It gives 28 miles' to the gallon, and maintenance costs are low 3uring its long lifetime. The 6-cylinder iB-h ; p. car has won coveted De-war frophy foe meritoriqus performance, and hss done amazing journey oi 10,000 niiles in 23 days under E.A.C. obseryatipn.

It- 'is a top-speed proved production. * During this month an Arinstrorig-Sid-deley 13/30 ■ 4-cylinder car won liigh honours in the Reliability Trial—a "ruelling iiOQ miles run o'veV some of t-hg worst roads in Australia. It came first among private competitors, thereby winning the Dunlop Cup. Tt was also first of the 4-cylinder cats, aiid third in the whole- event.

20 YEARS' EXPERIENCE. Behind the Armstrong-Siddeley is a wealth of practical experience on the road since the early days of motoring, and more than 20 years of motor manufacturing. The company make all their own steel and build the complete car. They are designers and makers of a large number qf highest grade aircraft engines. The car also benefits by the backing of the immense knowledge and resources of the world-famous ftrrp, Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whitworth and Co., Ltd. VtTiat more can a car-buyer wish for? A beautiful, well-finished, soundly-built •aotor carriage, at reasonable cost —the ideal British car for New Zealand roads. Such is the Armstrqng-Siddeley. There's a model and a price to s,uit all wlio want a ear to be proud of. See them— arrange to take a ride! The New Zealand distributors are A. Hatrick and Co..
