AT LAST! * THE BRITISH CAR NEW ZEALAND WANTS. "ARMSTRONG-SIDDELEY.'' It is generally recognised that there is room for a British Car to take a dominating position in the Dominion, and to "win a popularity comparable with some of the foreign cars that are so well known. What British car will give first "push" and take the lead? It is the Armstrong-Siddeley Car, which, although familiar already to many motorists, is about to take a great stride forward in New Zealand. ' YAST RESOURCES. Behind the car stands the great firms of Armstrong-Siddeley and Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whitworth, and Co., Ltd.— names that are at the top in. British engineering. They have the resource.':, ability, and enterprise to make a real impression on this market, and to provide motorists with a car and a service absolutely unrivalled. The greatest thought and c-arc have been devoted to the design of the chassis and body, and the whole ear is standardised, including the coachwork. The Armstrong-Siddeley cars arc moderate in ilrst cost —the chassisprices arc lower than pre-war. They are distinguished in appearance, and comfortable in the highest degree. Smooth and 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 all roads. It has a 56-inch track, 10-inch ground-clearance, and an engine which develops over 30 h.p. Tho 6-c.ylinder 18 h.p. car has won the coveted Dewar Trophy for meritorious performance, and has done an amazing journey of 10,000 miles in 23 daj's under R.A.C. observation. GREATER INTRINSIC VALUE. The car-buyer should not fail to notice the price-advantages of the ArmstrongSiddeley. In the first place, the purchaser pays only 10 per cent, duty, as against 2C> per cent, on a foreign car. This means that he gets far greater intrinsic value for his outlay—"more for the money." Again, his maintenance costs arc extremely lowj the life of the car is unusually long. It gives 28 miles to the gallon, and repairexpense is practieally nil. Thorough tests in all parts of the world have proved the Armstrong-Sid-dcley's suitability for colonial conditions. It is a top-speed cax—a proved production. 20 YEARS' EXPERIENCE. Behind the Armstrong-Siddeley is a wealth of practical experience ou 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 large numbers of highest-grade aircraft engines. The car also benefits by the backing of the immense knowledge and resources of the world-famous firm, Sir \V. G. Armstrong, "Whitworth, and Co., Ltd. What more can a car-buyer wish for! A beautiful, well-finished, soundlybuilt motor-carriage, at reasonable cost the ideal British car for New Zealand roads. Such is the Armstrong-Siddeley. There's a model and a price to suit all who wajit a car to bo proud of. See them —arrange to take a ride! The New Zealand distributors are A* Hatrick and Co., Ltd., of Wanganni and Wellington. 1
