BRITISH CARS.
(n;o« on» owx conswoxawrc.) LONDON, May 30. A disinterested Englishman is NeV Zealand, writing to "Autocar," saye: "From what I have gathered the New Zealander wants a eix-cylinder oar, costing about £450 or less, of at least 16 b.p., witb good springing, capable of 05-70 m.p.E., and giving a good ground clearance. "Elaborate accessories and upholstery are not required, as quite often sheep, and so forth, are pushed into the back se«t. Many farmers, who are the chief people to be considered, would buy British cars if the prices wore reduced. 1 believe that American sis-cylinder cars appeared, in quantity, about two years ahead of British sixes. Now American eights are rapidly finding a ready market. Now, then, is the time for British manufacturers to put their eights on the New Zealand market instead of being two years late."
