W\ M I z\\ ** n *Ri n ' MllU! iff \t/ S ■iffl \ IXOX> y/WW / W|\ W/J WEDIDNTWm: 7 ONE WORD OF THIS I Basil Cardew, in the London “Daily Exjhre^’——“This model deserves a motoring Oscar. It is one of the most exciting small cars I have driven”. W, A. McKenzie, in the London “Daily Telegraph and Morning Post”“The sus P ension represents a major advance. It is designed to eliminate pitch and I bounce as far as possible, and to provide a degree of comfort seldom achieved before %. I - in a car sprung for normal use”. Peter Greenslade, in “The Oarnaru Mail” —“lf there is a better riding and better handling car currently marketed in this country and selling for anything up to Vjy £2ooo or a bit more, I have yet to drive it. The manner in which this new Morris irons out the worst possible road irregularities and goes round corners is nothing short of fantastic”.’ ' The Dominion”, Wellington— I 'Show me the English car that’s better put together locally and I’ll go back to road-testing push-bikes”. x«-__==^r— “ The Daily Post”, -Rotora«—“imagine being able to throw a car into a corner without worry of road surface; without worry of steering correction. That’s just one of ;L n 1 A the virtues of this rather revolutionary car”. Peter Merritt, in “Wairarapa Times-Age”— “The ride is always comfortable i .. f°r driver and passengers; it handles well on wet roads and the car is a delight to conJjhgßSS trol. It’s a car you’ll love to own, your friends will envy, your neighbours will covet”. YyL-J MZjl-zY B. M. in “The Otago Daily Times”—“Hill climbing was first class. The 1100 VJ bas ample power to pull heavy loads over main road hills in top gear without loss of speed and steeper sections can be taken easily in the intermediate gears”. “ The Auckland Star” —“Driven hard over the worst stretch of rough tar-seal in the Auckland district, the 1100 rode better than all but a handful of very much more expensive cars, none of which could improve on its performance over this stretch”. “ Wheels? Sydney, Australia — “Not only is it the finest small car I have driven rate j t among 12 best cars I’ve ever had anything to do with, irrespective ofsize ’ty peor P r ' ce ”’ “The Waikato Times”, Hamilton —-“ Generally, this Morris, more than reason--7 ably priced, is perhaps the most sophisticated in the small car market today. Indeed it would be a hard one to beat”. “Autocar”, England— I “The unanimous view of the test staff is that on overall rating for ride comfort on smooth or rough roads, at all speeds,,controllability in these '"''x. conditions, adhesion in the wet or dry, inherent safety and steering response, there is no better car, irrespective of size”. Motor”, England—"h full dozen people drove the Morris 1100 while we had it on test, men and women of widely varied sizes, shapes and motoring tastes. With almost unprecedented unanimity about all save minor details, they reported their impressions with such phrases as ‘a worthy successor to the Minor’, ‘a fantastic little car I want one’, 'irregular secondary roads can be driven over faster than in any other small car I know’, 'the suspension is a real landmark, breakthrough or whatever’, and 'a delightful little car which seems to combine the comfort and ride of something much bigger with the handling of a Mini’.” We would like to add just this: Reading about it is not the same as driving it ••. call in and arrange with us for a free test drive!
