Exports of cars from Britain in April reached the highest monthly figure for two years, in spite of the Easter holiday, which brought average weekly production figures down. Car exports were 51.266 for the four-week period, compared with 46,201 in the five-week March period, 45.789 in the four weeks of February, and 31,784 in April, 1961. The figures for the first four months of the year are 65 per cent, up on last year.
A 26-seat luxury coach with Danish bodywork, a nine-ton truck with a two-berth sleeping compartment in the cab, and Standard-Triumph saloon and estate cars will be exhibited adjacent to the British pavilion when the Poznan Fair opens In Poland on June 10.
