Here are how substantial savings are made, without any sacrifice of the standards of quality which have always been associated with Todd Motors Limited product* : 1. The Overseas Factories make a reduction for non-assembly. 2. Saving of railway freight in country of origin and saving in ocean freight because the cars will be imported completely knocked down, technically known as C.K.D. The parts are nested and packed in about half the' space of built-up cars, resulting in a .aving of close upon 50 per cent, in freight and casing timber. 3. Marine insurance saved, because of the lesser insurable value. 4. Saving of customs duty and sales tax. 5. To savings 1, 2 and 3 add the 25 per cent. New Zealand exchange. It is, moreover, the. intention of Todd Motors to increase the content of New Zealand and British materials in all cars to a greater and greater extent. Already contracts have been placed w.th New Zealand manufacturers for seat springs, bumpers, and various fittings -to which soon wil! be added sjlass from England. , With the latest modern machinery installed at the new works the building, paintmg and upholstering of bodies and assembling of chassis costs no more in New Zealand than in country of origin. Upholstery will be of best New Zealand-made vooHc« cloth and leather. All lacquer-paints and'ettamelft will be of British manufacture. ALL STEEL SAFETY BODIES will, for the first rime, be manufactured in New Zealand, and all ca«# produced will be so equipped. The ALL STEEL panels will be imported from overseas and will be welded together at Petone. The same processes will be adopted at Pctone as arc used by the Chrysler and Hillman factories* Special elaborate machinery, jigs and other appliances have been imported to produce a replica of th* overseas factory workmanship. Consequently all the advantages of SILENCE, SAFETY and! DURABILITY of the ALL STEEL body arc nstured. Recent increased manufacturers' costs in raw materials and labour, together with an unfavourable dollar exchange (in the case of U.S.A. cars) have increased the cost of cars, but the savings made by thiflf huj7c new Dominion enterprise will more than effset this disadvantage to New Zealand motorists. Savings will range from £2O to £65. The new Plymouth Six De Luxe 5 Passenger 2 Door Sedan ii imported built-up would sell, to-day, for £4lO. Now it wilt be priced as low as £359, assembled at tha new Petone factory —a saving of £sl. The De Luxe 4 Door Sedan will be priced at the low figure of £389, showing a saving of £54. The Hillman Minx price will be £269, showing st considerable reduction. Prices of other body models on application. Motorists and intending motorists are cordially invited to visit the new Todd factory which is giving employment to over one hundred New Zealandern. The public are invited to inspect our 1935 model* at our dealers' showrooms throughout the country.
