Rugby, October 12.
Prince George opened the 27th International Motor Show at Olympia, and, in company with King Alfonso, made a tour of inspection of 400 cars on exhibition.
Cars from five European continental countries and Canada and the. United States are exhibited, but British cars predominate. Of 50 different makes shown, 29 are British, 13 are Continental, and eight American. The show represents probably the widest range of cars ever brought together, and affords a comprehensive survey of the latest developments, which mark a definite advance in engineering practice and coachwork design. Prices are from 100 guineas to over £3OOO.
The British motor industry has now become one of the most prosperous and progressive of the major industries and Prince George congratulated the manufacturers on the wonderful recovery achieved, not only in the Home market but in an expanding degree in markets overseas. To meet the growing home demand, production in the last twelve months has increased by 20 per cent., and the industry’s export trade has increased by 68 per cent.
